(Fix) Letter Box

[will briggs]

Hey,

Im trying to make an effect like a letter box, so 2 black boxes one at the top, and one at the bottom of the screen.

I have this so far :

screenSize = { guiGetScreenSize( ) }; 
  
local stripHeight = .15 * (screenSize[ 2 ]*2); 
  
    stripHeight = screenSize[ 2 ] * .15, 
    stripAlpha = .93, -- 0-1 
    animLength = 01, -- seconds 
    animStartTick = 0, 
    animFinishTick = 0, 
    keepAnimating = true, 
     
    flyIn = function ( ) 
        letterBox.animStartTick = 0; 
        addEventHandler( "onClientRender", g_root, animateLetterBox_flyIn ); 
        setTempPedRotating( true ); 
    end 

But it aint working, can someone help me by correcting or making an example?

Thanks

screenSize = { guiGetScreenSize( ) }; 

should be:

local sWidth, sHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 

idk Your code is messed up

    flyIn = function ( ) 
        letterBox.animStartTick = 0; 
        addEventHandler( "onClientRender", g_root, animateLetterBox_flyIn ); 
        setTempPedRotating( true ); 
    end 

You mean this?

function flyIn() 
        letterBox.animStartTick = 0; 
        addEventHandler( "onClientRender", g_root, animateLetterBox_flyIn ); 
        setTempPedRotating( true ); 
    end 

And where is the animateLetterBox_flyIn Function?

setTempPedRotating( true ); 

What is this function? did you make it up because this function doesn't exist.

Your code is really weird.

You seem like you used to script something and now its mixing up.
