Mantain scale

[Feche1320]

So, I'm drawing a text on the world, using getScreenFromWorldPosition and getDistanceBetweenPoints3D.

Everything works perfect, but there's a little detail:

  
if dist <= 80 then 
    local x, y = getScreenFromWorldPosition(pick.posX, pick.posY, pick.posZ, 0.06) 
    local alpha = 255 - (dist * 3.15) 
    local scale = 1 / (0.7 * (dist / 150))  
    if x and y then 
        dxDrawText(getVehicleNameFromModel(pick.vehicle), x, y, x, y, tocolor(255, 255, 255, alpha), scale, "bankgothic", "center") 
    end 
end 

If I go away, text just get's smaller and it doesn't have a 'relative' value according to the distance.

Help would be appreciated, thanks.

Anyone?

Do you want the text size to be the stay the same size? or what?

something i made in 2011, you can distribute as you wish

clean some components yourself.
