[HELP] dxGetTextWidth problem

[Turbesz]

I want to put a picture before players name in their nametag, and with a longer name fits well, but no with a sorter...

What is the problem? 

Code:

local width, height = (dxGetTextWidth(getPlayerName(v),1,settings.font,true)+270)*scale, 2*scale

a picture of the problem:

What about

dxGetTextWidth(getPlayerName(v), 1,settings.font,true) + 270 * scale

-- or if the font is scaled:

dxGetTextWidth(getPlayerName(v), scale,settings.font,true) + 270 * scale

for the width.

umm, another little problem. if i want to put another image after the player's name, again the same problem just in the other direction. with this code:

local width, height = dxGetTextWidth(getPlayerName(v),scaleF,settings.font,true) - 350 * scale, 2*scale

Normally you would calculate the position like this:

-- The width
local textWidth = dxGetTextWidth(getPlayerName(v),scaleF,settings.font,true) 

local offset = scale * 50 -- Offset from the text


-- Note: The text is centered!!!

local positionX

-- Before
positionX = positionX - (textWidth / 2 + offset)

-- After
positionX = positionX + (textWidth / 2 + offset)

then if I understand correctly i have to change 'sx' to 'positionX' in my code?

local scale = interpolateBetween(0.7, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, progress, "OutQuad")
local width, height = dxGetTextWidth(getPlayerName(v),scaleF,settings.font,true) - 350 * scale, 2*scale
local sx, sy = sx-width/2, sy-height	
dxDrawImage(sx, sy, 40, 40, "files/typing.png",0,0,0,tocolor(255,181,64,255))

An example:

local scale = interpolateBetween(0.7, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, progress, "OutQuad")

local width, height = dxGetTextWidth(getPlayerName(v),scaleF,settings.font,true), 2*scale


local imageSize = 40 * scale
local offset = 40 * scale

local sx, sy = sx - (width / 2 + imageSize + offset), sy-height	

dxDrawImage(sx, sy, imageSize, imageSize, "files/typing.png",0,0,0,tocolor(255,181,64,255))



-- no imageSize since the image is drawn from left to right
local sx, sy = sx + (width / 2 + offset), sy-height	

dxDrawImage(sx, sy, imageSize, imageSize, "files/typing.png",0,0,0,tocolor(255,181,64,255))

 

Anyway, I am wondering why you use the value '350'. The image was only 40 pixels and unscaled.
