[HELP] Dxdrawtext question...

[Turbesz]

I wrote two texts with dxdrawtext and with same calculations for all resolution

and one text is in the right place but another is not with same method... 

wth? anyone can help me?

code:

local sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize()

function draw()
dxDrawText("#FFB540Test text test text test text test text", sx/2-140-10,sy/2-320/2, 0, sy/2-515/2+36, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 1, Roboto, "left", "center",false,false,false,true)
dxDrawText("text2 text2 text2 text2 text2 text2 text2 text2", sx/2+890-10,sy/2+940/2, 0,sy/2-515/2+36, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 1, Roboto, "center", "center",false,false,false,true)
end
addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,draw)

the text with colorcode it is in a good place on every resolution but "text2" moves in another resolutions... why?

Maybe your align's?

One have left and center and another center and center

Maybe, but why? I want to put in the middle the second text and with left align it looks stupid

So can i fix this somehow, without changing to left align?

local sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize()

function draw()
	dxDrawText("#FFB540Test text test text test text test text", sx/2-140-10,sy/2-320/2, 0, sy/2-515/2+36, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 1, Roboto, "left", "center",false,false,false,true);
	local text = "text2 text2 text2 text2 text2 text2 text2 text2"; --define text
	local textSize = dxGetTextWidth(text, 1, Roboto, true); -- get the width of the text; 
	local fontHeight = dxGetFontHeight(1, Roboto); -- get the height of the text;
	dxDrawText(text, sx/2-textSize/2, sy/2-fontHeight/2, sx, sy, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 1, Roboto, "center", "center",false,false,false,true);
  	--draw the text in the middle of the screen!
end
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, draw);

You might do the same for the first one, just keep in mind the text align works like this (X + TEXT WIDTH)

thanks, but i don't want to place it in the middle of the screen, I want put in the middle of a button. The first one is is in a perfect place, but the second one not (at my resolution yes, but other resolutions not, because moves, the first one doesn't do that).

A little example

local sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize();
local scaleX,scaleY = 1920/sx, 1080/sy; -- replace 1920 and 1080 with your resolution!

function draw()
	-- Let's say we want to create a button on the right side 20px away from the screen at 150px from the bottom;
  	local xpos = 20*scaleX;
  	local ypos = 150*scaleY;
	local text = "PRESS ME!";
	local tx, ty = dxGetTextSize(text, 0, 1, 1, Roboto, true);
	dxDrawText(text, sx-tx-xpos, sy-ty-ypos, sx-xpos, sy-ypos, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 1, Roboto, "center", "center", false, false, false, true);
end
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, draw);
