dxdraw

[joedajoester]

How would you make a picture or text appear somewhere on the map with dxdrawtext? Do you attach it or something?

Edit: getScreenFromWorldPosition(0,0,0)

Would this work? And would i need to check line of sight?

local distance = 70 
local screenSizeX, screenSizeY = guiGetScreenSize() 
local scale = 7 
local myImage = "mtalogo.png" 
local x, y, z = 0, 0, 5 
  
function renderImage() 
    local px, py, pz = getElementPosition ( localPlayer ) 
    local dist = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D ( px, py, pz, x, y, z ) 
    if (dist < distance and isLineOfSightClear( px, py, pz, x, y, z, true, false, false, false )) then 
        local screenX, screenY = getScreenFromWorldPosition ( x, y, z+0.5 ) 
        local scaled = screenSizeX * (1/(2*(dist+5))) *.85 
        local relX, relY = scaled * scale, scaled * scale 
        if ( screenX and screenY ) then 
            dxDrawImage( screenX, screenY, relX, relY, tostring(myImage) ) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientRender", root, renderImage ) 

Change: x, y, z to your 3D world coordinates.

Which xyz? all of them

*edit getscreenfromworldposition x y z coordinates?

Don't you see the variables in the top of the script?

Line: #5:

local x, y, z = 0, 0, 5

How would i do text?

[Castillo]

You can either learn from that script or you can check this out: https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p= ... ls&id=3090

That resource is used to create 3D text's, you can study how it's scripted.

Ok, I have no clue how to do text so i just use gimp and put text and remove the background. How would I attach it to a element like how the playername is attached to the player how would I do that or for a car? Thanks
