AbsoluteToRelative

[#Paper]

I want to make some dxText in the same position for all resolutions but it doesn't work:

function AbsoluteToRelativ( X, Y ) -- this coverter transforms the gui position and size for the resolution of the player 
    local rX, rY = guiGetScreenSize() 
    local x = math.floor((X/2200)*rX) 
    local y = math.floor((Y/1085)*rY) 
    return x, y 
end

It seems to be correct if I understand what you need. So what doesn't work? Debug errors, wrong results, ... (show an example)

Also, while technically correct, don't use the same variables names capitalized ('x' and 'X'). It's confusing and a bad scripting habit.

I belive this will help you: viewtopic.php?f=108&t=24262#p289131

rX/x

rY/y

edit:srry, you have to flip it.

To convert absolute to relative you simply do;

relativeX = absoluteX*relativePosX

relativeY = absoluteY*relativePosY

Use This;

function AbsoluteToRelative( X, Y ) 
        local rX, rY = guiGetScreenSize() 
        local x = X/rX 
        local y = Y/rY 
        return x, y 
end 

And RelativeToAbsolute;

function RelativeToAbsolute( X, Y ) 
        local rX, rY = guiGetScreenSize() 
        local x = X*rX 
        local y = Y*rY 
        return x, y 
end

        local rX, rY = guiGetScreenSize() 
        local x = X*rX

end 

Ty, it works!

Haha yeah I recognized my script immediately when I saw it and then I saw your credit thx

dxDrawText works with absolutes arguments so you have to convert relatives arguments to absolutes arguments like laserlaser made.

But something is strange, why do you have to use it ? because it's useless !

=> why do you convert absolute args to relatives args and then go back to absolutes args, just take directly the absolute args.

IDK if you see what I mean ...
