Circle safezone

[Regxtrs]

How to create a circle safezone like all these PUBG servers ? I am creating a server in that style but it lags so much to render a circle

Please help me, thanks

if you want a safezone, you need to use: 

createColCircle
createRadarArea

I mean PUBG circles, like that:

The problem with radar area is that is only draws rectangles.. I already tested using 360 radar areas to make a circle but it lags a lot,

Also used the dxDrawCircle funciton but it lags a lot...

 

But on these servers there's no lag...

Drawing a circle drawn on a picture. So Instead of using Lua functions to get that circle, you just draw a png using dxDrawImage.

Thanks, its working now..

But now I faced another problem, I'm rendering this circle only when I press F11 to show the map, but how could I make this appears on my radar/minimap ? I need to create my own radar ? 

[NeXuS™]

Yes, you do.

[Regxtrs]

Ok, but how to create it ? what functions should I use ?

[NeXuS™]

The drawing functions possibly.

I just need to know how will I render the same image circle I am rendering right now on my F11 map over the radar area.. These servers create render targets or they are using another circle image just to render over the radar?

[NeXuS™]

Use a render target, it'll be easier.

The shader version gives of dxDrawCircle doesn't have a very high impact on the performance:

nightly.multitheftauto.com/files/shaders/shader_circle.zip

The only thing that it is missing is anti aliasing. (pixel edges)

 

As last resort you can use browser + html + css to make it. (which should give the best quality, but isn't very performance optimal in my opinion. Yet, there shouldn't be much frame lagg of it.)

got it

But my main point now is how they create the custom Radar to also show the circles there, or the circles on radar are another image/shader over the radar ?

Create the F11 map on a rendertarget, then draw the needed part of that rendertarget with dxDrawImageSection.
