Text on a position

[Tete omar]

Hello everyone

I'm asking now how could i create a text or a static image on an position not on the screen then attach it over the player's head

i know with attachElements

but my question is about the text on an position

please i don't want editors downloads i wanna make it manually.

Did you try with the dxDrawText ?

dxDrawText is in my mind , but it only draws a text on the screen , not on a position ...

getScreenFromWorldPosition 

this may work ...

How you expect to make it without looking at other resources?

what does manually mean for you?

He probably wants the example right here on this topic.

is that going to work ?

function drawImage() 
    local screenX, screenY = getScreenFromWorldPosition(posX, posY, posZ) 
    local camX, camY, camZ = getCameraMatrix() 
    local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints2D(camX, camY, posX, posY) 
    if (screenX and distance < 50) then 
        local scale = 1000 / screenWidth 
        local width = 80 / scale 
        local image = dxDrawImage(screenX - width / 2, screenY - screenHeight / 10, width, 80, "Attention.png") 
        dxDrawText( guiGetText(theText), screenX, screenY, screenX, screenY, tocolor( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), 5, "arial", "center", "center" ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick",Buy,drawImage) 

i tested it but it actually doesn't work.

posX and posY and posZ and screenWidth and screenHeight not defined.

and you need event onClientRender not onClientGUIClick.

Possible to make it on button click ?

Possible to make it on button click ?

Of course

function onClick() 
addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,drawImage) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick",Buy,onClick) 
  
function drawImage() 
.. 
end

Of course

function onClick() 
addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,drawImage) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick",Buy,onClick) 
  
function drawImage() 
.. 
end 

But the image is shown up when the resource start not when the button clicked

well, there might be an error, try this:

function drawImage() 
    local screenX, screenY = getScreenFromWorldPosition(posX, posY, posZ) 
    local camX, camY, camZ = getCameraMatrix() 
    local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints2D(camX, camY, posX, posY) 
    if (screenX and distance < 50) then 
        local scale = 1000 / screenWidth 
        local width = 80 / scale 
        local image = dxDrawImage(screenX - width / 2, screenY - screenHeight / 10, width, 80, "Attention.png") 
        dxDrawText( guiGetText(theText), screenX, screenY, screenX, screenY, tocolor( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), 5, "arial", "center", "center" ) 
    end 
end 
function onClick() 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,drawImage) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick",Buy,onClick)

It starts showing the image when the resource starts or after at least one click on button?
