Position center

[papam77]

Hello.

Is possible to make as in html

if yes how can make center in lua ?

I wanna add to center this

dxDrawText("Choose an arena", 2+160/2, 15, 160, 24, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 3.00, "bankgothic", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false)

Did you read the wiki page ?

alignX: horizontal alignment of the text within the bounding box. Can be "left", "center" or "right".

alignY: vertical alignment of the text within the bounding box. Can be "top", "center" or "bottom".

try to set it to "center","center" and see what happened .

I don't understand how to use it

[iPrestege]

I Get this code from SolidSnake :

function RelativeToAbsolute( X, Y ) 
        local rX, rY = guiGetScreenSize() 
        local x = X*rX 
        local y = Y*rY 
        return x, y 
end 

convert it to relative and then use this function ^^ .

And you're code should be :

function RelativeToAbsolute( X, Y ) 
         rX, rY = guiGetScreenSize() 
        local x = X*rX 
        local y = Y*rY 
        return x, y 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(),  
function( )  
    local x,y = RelativeToAbsolute(0.08, 0.02) 
    dxDrawText("Choose an arena",x,y,rX, rY, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 3.00, "bankgothic", "center", "center", false, false, true, false, false) 
end 
)

Thank you work it

And how can use dxDrawImage as button ?

[iPrestege]

You can make a invisible buttons and do what you want .

Oh this ?

GUIEditor = { 
    button = {} 
} 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function() 
        GUIEditor.button[1] = guiCreateButton(451, 205, 388, 289, "", false) 
        guiSetAlpha(GUIEditor.button[1], 0.28)     
    end 
)

        guiSetAlpha(GUIEditor.button[1], 0.28)     
    end 
) 

Exactly and make the alpha 0 and make the buttons relative !! from the guieditor options .

You're welcome .

[papam77]

And i have background pic 1920x1080 but i wanna it for everybody. My friend with smaller resolution see it too big

[iPrestege]

Use that same function .

[papam77]

Use that same function .

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function()     
    end 
) 
  
function RelativeToAbsolute( X, Y ) 
         rX, rY = guiGetScreenSize() 
        local x = X*rX 
        local y = Y*rY 
        return x, y 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(), 
function( ) 
    local x,y = RelativeToAbsolute(0.00, -0.90) 
    dxDrawImage(0, 0, 1920, 1080, "img/lobby-bg.png", 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), true) 
end 
) 

If i have this he still see it as already saw. Is any function how can set it to max resolution on every monitor ?

[iPrestege]

Try this ;

function RelativeToAbsolute( X, Y ) 
         rX, rY = guiGetScreenSize() 
        local x = X*rX 
        local y = Y*rY 
        return x, y 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(), 
function( ) 
    local x,y = RelativeToAbsolute(0.00, -0.90) 
    dxDrawImage(x,y,rX,rY,"img/lobby-bg.png", 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), true)

It looks as here: http://www.img.tpx.cz/uploads/LikeApro.png = 1920x1080

[iPrestege]

Hmm...are sure about the relative position ? You get it from the guieditor or from where?

[papam77]

Background isn't relative because i can't make relative in dx

[iPrestege]

Make it relative and put the x,y pos here :

local x,y = RelativeToAbsolute(x,y) 

And try !

[IIYAMA]

why relative? it will only strech and most of the time in the wrong way.

pls fill in the size. rX,rY

[papam77]

Make it relative and put the x,y pos here :

local x,y = RelativeToAbsolute(x,y) 

And try !

You forgot a function! (fixed)

You can also try to center it, instead of scaling it. (as your title says)

  
-- for picture. 
local X, Y = guiGetScreenSize()  
local hX, hY = (X/2)-(1920/2), (Y/2)-(1080/2) 
  
addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(), 
function( ) 
    dxDrawImage(hX, hY,1920,1080,"img/lobby-bg.png", 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), true) 
end 
)
