[Question] dxDrawImage3D

[kieran]

I am wanting to create a 3D image, but I am struggling to even get the image in the game.  

Here is the code, and error.

Client side script

local the_image = dxCreateTexture("image.png")
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root,
    function()
        dxDrawImage3D(-2327, -1620, 483, 20, 20, the_image, tocolor(255,255,255,255))
    end
)

meta.xml

    <min_mta_version client="1.5.5" server="1.5.5" />
	<script src="image.lua" type="client" />
	<file src="image.png" />
</meta>

Debug script 3: attempt to call global 'dxDrawImage3D' (a nil value)

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Did you use the code for that dxDrawImage3D because it a useful function

What do you mean?  I am using the code from wiki, but it keeps returning the same debug, so I think it has trouble loading the image, tried 2 images...

Scroll down and add the code, from under the headline: code

Creates the image, but my second xyz for face toward won't let me rotate the image....  What am I doing wrong? 

local white = tocolor(255,255,255,255)
function dxDrawImage3D(x,y,z,w,h,m,c,r,...)
        local lx, ly, lz = x+w, y+h, (z+tonumber(r or 0)) or z
	return dxDrawMaterialLine3D(x,y,z, lx, ly, lz, m, h, c or white, ...)
end


local the_image = dxCreateTexture("image.png")

function create_image()
    dxDrawImage3D(-2329.5, -1610, 485, 5, 5, the_image, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 1, -2330, -1633, 483 )
end
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, create_image)

I am not sure, I am not a fan of this custom function.

 

Afaik dxDrawMaterialLine3D rotates between the points, but because the second point is moved, I am not sure which values you have to use.

So I recommend you to use dxDrawMaterialLine3D instead.
