A small help/ information needed.

[Slim.]

Er, so.

I want to make my own custom crosshair. I've managed to disappear the default crosshair. but now, i need to add my own.

My concept is to make a red dot display in right CENTER of the screen. The red dot will be a Dxline (or call it a dot )

So, i need help with 2 things. :

1. How can i make it appear always? like, i don't need the crosshair only when we aim, i want it to be their everytime.

2. What are the co ordinates of the Center of the screen? (0,0) ?

Thanks in Advance.

1,

use

onClientRender() 

2,

  
sX,sY = guiGetScreenSize() 
  

Absolute center: sX-sX/2, sY-sY/2

Relative center: 0.5,0.5 (if i know good)

Erm, Thanks for the position, but i really didnt get why in Render needed here.

OnClientRender keeps it visible

example:

dxDrawText

Oh, so you mean, the DxdrawText comes under onClientRender() ?

no I mean, onClientRender keeps dxDrawText visible, so whatever you're drawing, use onClientRender like this within the main function/eventhandler

function createText ( ) 
  
         -- add your code here 
  
function HandleTheRendering ( ) 
    addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, createText ) -- keep the text visible with onClientRender. 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, HandleTheRendering )

...

function createText ( ) 
  
         -- add your code here 
 -- ur forgot a END 
end 
  
function TheRendering ( ) 
    addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, createText ) -- keep the text visible with onClientRender. 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, TheRendering ) 
  
and if u wanna stop rendering 
  
function stopTheRendering ( ) 
removeEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, createText ) --now removing the eventhandler 
end 
addCommandHamdler ( "stoprender", stopTheRendering )

denny, I just copied the Wiki's example as he didn't understand my first post and deleted it's mid content. I didn't read thru it at all.

and

function createText ( ) 
  
         -- add your code here 
 -- ur forgot a END 
end 
  
function TheRendering ( ) 
    addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, createText ) -- keep the text visible with onClientRender. 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, TheRendering ) 
  
--and if u wanna stop rendering 
  
function stopTheRendering ( ) 
removeEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, createText ) --now removing the eventhandler 
end 
addCommandHamdler ( "stoprender", stopTheRendering )

i only forgot -- ... let's stop the fight

[Castillo]

function createText ( ) 
    -- add your code here 
end 
  
function TheRendering ( ) 
    addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, createText ) -- keep the text visible with onClientRender. 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, TheRendering ) 
  
--And if you want to stop rendering. 
  
function stopTheRendering ( ) 
    removeEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, createText ) --now removing the eventhandler 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "stoprender", stopTheRendering ) -- You had 'addCommandHamdler', that's wrong.
