Relative Shortcut

[ShayF2]

This is a simple function designed to take absolute values, like 400,600,200,150 and such, and turn them into relative values. This is useful when creating gui and dx elements to match them up with every screen. That way different resolutions can resize and reposition accordingly. MTA has its own method of calculating relative values, however it does not reposition, it only resizes. So here you go.
Be sure to change 1360,780 to your own resolution.
And here is an example of using this: local x,y,w,h = relative(500,500,100,200); dxDrawRectangle(x,y,w,h,tocolor(255,255,255,255))

local sx,sy = guiGetScreenSize()
local sw,sh = 1360,780

function relative(x,y,w,h)
    local x,y,w,h = x/sx*sw,y/sy*sh,w/sx*sw,h/sy*sh
    return x,y,w,h
end

I hope this is of some help to you.

But what if you are using other aspect ratio, like 4:3 or 21:9? Because it looks like you're using a 16:9/16:10 ratio as a reference.

PD: It will sure be a relief for a lot of people messing with HUDs.

Aspect ratio wont matter, this math is based off the users screen.

local sw,sh = 1360,780

Based off the user's screen and this
