Draw Static Image above each Players head

[Einheit-101]

Hello again... Little Question. How to draw a StaticImage above each player`s head (like his nametag)? I want to make this looking like the chaticon resource (but it is no chaticon )

I hope anybody knows how to reaslize that!

I would recommend using DX drawing for this.

Yes .. and there is an similiar example on Wiki: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GetPedBonePosition

is it possible to draw that image ONLY over the head of an admin player?

  
addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(), 
   function() 
      local px, py, pz, tx, ty, tz, dist 
      px, py, pz = getCameraMatrix() 
      for k, v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
    if(getElementData(v, "Admin") == true) then 
         tx, ty, tz = getElementPosition(v) 
         dist = math.sqrt((px - tx) ^ 2 + (py - ty) ^ 2 + (pz - tz) ^ 2) 
         if dist < 30.0 then 
            if isLineOfSightClear(px, py, pz, tx, ty, tz, true, false, false, true, false, false, getLocalPlayer()) then 
               local sx, sy, sz = getPedBonePosition(v, 5) 
               local x,y = getScreenFromWorldPosition(sx, sy, sz + 0.3) 
               if x then 
        dxDrawImage ( x, y, 140, 140, "rang/admin.png" ) 
               end 
            end 
         end 
      end 
   end 
) 
  

Thats what i have.

And? does it work? any errors?

The Problem is that the rest of the script is not finished. I will be able to test it if the rest works. Rank system

getScreenFromWorldPosition makes the illusion of 3D drawn images possible. All the rest is up to your specifications. Of course you can have a trigger to only draw for admin. I don't see why you can't test that... put it some temp setElementData and comment it as debug.

it still does not work... here is what ive done:

  
function imagedraw() 
      local px, py, pz, tx, ty, tz, dist 
      px, py, pz = getCameraMatrix() 
      for k, v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
    if(getElementData(v, "Admin") == true) then 
         tx, ty, tz = getElementPosition(v) 
         dist = math.sqrt((px - tx) ^ 2 + (py - ty) ^ 2 + (pz - tz) ^ 2) 
         if dist < 30.0 then 
            if isLineOfSightClear(px, py, pz, tx, ty, tz, true, false, false, true, false, false, getLocalPlayer()) then 
               local sx, sy, sz = getPedBonePosition(v, 5) 
               local x,y = getScreenFromWorldPosition(sx, sy, sz + 0.3) 
               if x then 
        dxDrawImage ( x, y, 50, 50, "rang/admin.png" ) 
        end 
        end 
    end 
    end 
end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(),imagedraw) 
  

I have set the Element Data to admin in another script.

Hi,

It's very simple, at this line:

local x,y = getScreenFromWorldPosition(sx, sy, sz + 0.3) 

The function returns the relative position and the dxDrawImage need the absolute position !

So you have to convert this relative position to an absolute position.

The full script ( with some little modifications ):

function imagedraw() 
    local px, py, pz, tx, ty, tz, dist 
    px, py, pz = getCameraMatrix() 
    for k, v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if(getElementData(v, "Admin") == true) then 
            tx, ty, tz = getElementPosition(v) 
            dist = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D( px, py, pz, tx, ty, tz ) 
            if dist < 30.0 then 
                if isLineOfSightClear(px, py, pz, tx, ty, tz, true, false, false, true, false, false, getLocalPlayer()) then 
                    local sx, sy, sz = getPedBonePosition(v, 5) 
                    local x,y = getScreenFromWorldPosition(sx, sy, sz+0.3) 
                    if ( x >= 0 and x <= 1 and y >= 0 and y <= 1 ) then 
                        x, y = AbsoluteToRelativ( x, y ) 
                        dxDrawImage ( x, y, 50, 50, "rang/admin.png" ) 
                    end 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(),imagedraw) 
  
function AbsoluteToRelativ( X, Y ) 
    local rX, rY = guiGetScreenSize() 
    local x = X/rX 
    local y = Y/rY 
    return x, y 
end 

Except that I think that your script is correct.
