Problem with dxdrawtext

[MGO]

Hello, I'm new to mta scripting and I researched  this issue but couldn't find any tutos, I would like to add a border to the following text :
 

dxDrawText(v.text, sx - (0.5 * width), yPos, sx - (0.5 * width), yPos - (i * fontHeight), tocolor(unpack(v.color)), 1, font, "left", "top", false, false, false)

the text moves with the player idk if that's worth mentioning, but I tried to add a border like this :
 

dxDrawText(v.text, sx - (0.5 * width), yPos, sx - (0.505 * width), yPos - (i * fontHeight), tocolor(0,0,0), 1, font, "left", "top", false, false, false)
dxDrawText(v.text, sx - (0.5 * width), yPos, sx - (0.495 * width), yPos - (i * fontHeight), tocolor(0,0,0), 1, font, "left", "top", false, false, false)
dxDrawText(v.text, sx - (0.505 * width), yPos, sx - (0.5 * width), yPos - (i * fontHeight), tocolor(0,0,0), 1, font, "left", "top", false, false, false)
dxDrawText(v.text, sx - (0.495 * width), yPos, sx - (0.5 * width), yPos - (i * fontHeight), tocolor(0,0,0), 1, font, "left", "top", false, false, false)
dxDrawText(v.text, sx - (0.5 * width), yPos, sx - (0.5 * width), yPos - (i * fontHeight), tocolor(unpack(v.color)), 1, font, "left", "top", false, false, false)

but the borders looks weird and glitchy, if anyone knows any solution plz help. and Thanks in advance.

Just move the text by 1 pixel:

local borderSize = 1
dxDrawText(v.text, sx - (0.5 * width) - borderSize, yPos, sx - (0.5 * width) - borderSize, yPos - (i * fontHeight), tocolor(0,0,0), 1, font, "left", "top", false, false, false)
dxDrawText(v.text, sx - (0.5 * width) + borderSize, yPos, sx - (0.5 * width) + borderSize, yPos - (i * fontHeight), tocolor(0,0,0), 1, font, "left", "top", false, false, false)
dxDrawText(v.text, sx - (0.5 * width) - borderSize, yPos, sx - (0.5 * width) + borderSize, yPos - (i * fontHeight), tocolor(0,0,0), 1, font, "left", "top", false, false, false)
dxDrawText(v.text, sx - (0.5 * width) + borderSize, yPos, sx - (0.5 * width) - borderSize, yPos - (i * fontHeight), tocolor(0,0,0), 1, font, "left", "top", false, false, false)

dxDrawText(v.text, sx - (0.5 * width), yPos, sx - (0.5 * width), yPos - (i * fontHeight), tocolor(unpack(v.color)), 1, font, "left", "top", false, false, false)

You can use something more simplier

 

--// Example
local borderSize = 1

dxDrawBorderedText(borderSize, etc..)

function dxDrawBorderedText (outline, text, left, top, right, bottom, color, scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, postGUI, colorCoded, subPixelPositioning, fRotation, fRotationCenterX, fRotationCenterY)
    for oX = (outline * -1), outline do
        for oY = (outline * -1), outline do
            dxDrawText (text, left + oX, top + oY, right + oX, bottom + oY, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, postGUI, colorCoded, subPixelPositioning, fRotation, fRotationCenterX, fRotationCenterY)
        end
    end
    dxDrawText (text, left, top, right, bottom, color, scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, postGUI, colorCoded, subPixelPositioning, fRotation, fRotationCenterX, fRotationCenterY)
end
