what?

how to make that image did not increase the distance?

I don't understand bro

[Wojak]

he wants to create "3D" image that has the same size regardless to distance ftom the player

to create this illusion you need to scale (change size) the image based on the distance from the player, the formila is:

size = (some constant number)/distance

no i need that image does not change the size of not depending on the distances.

assuming you using dxDrawImage function, if your image is a square

width = size

height = size

if its a rectangle than for exemple:

width = size*2

height = size

to calculate size you need a constant number (for exemple 50) this number is a size of the imahe, when you are next to it, you will need to experiment with it

wo calculate the distance you need:

x,y,z = world position of the image (get position of the thing the image is attached to)

px,py,pz = getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer())

distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(x,y,z,px,py,pz)

so the formula will be:

size = 50/distance

(you may need to change 50 to something else)

not work.

i mean this:

around:

away:

[Castillo]

You want to get them from the PED's or from the Player's?

for peds

[Aibo]

not work.

judging by the screens it works as intended (images shown and scaled according to distance), better explain what you want maybe.

[Kenix]

i need no change resize image in distance(any distance).

I want to size was always the same.

[Aibo]

i need no change resize image in distance(any distance).

change

local sizeImg = 20/distance 

to size in pixels you want:

local sizeImg = 32 

how hard can that be

now expanding size I do not know what to do ...

[Aibo]

it simply cant expand size, because it has constant size of 32 pixels.

you're confused because ped is getting closer while image stays the same size.

[Aibo]

so? its the SAME SIZE ON BOTH SCREENS

[Kenix]

size change :

on the image below could not see the difference

maybe I'm wrong and that it should be.

[Aibo]

do you understand the difference between 2D and 3D?

on your screens image size doesnt change at all.

you dont want it to scale down to distance, you dont want it to be fixed size, what is it you want?

[qaisjp]

volk-rus make it clear.

1) Do you want the size to change?

2) Do you want the size to stay the same?

Asnwer them -.-
