Give a rotation to a text

Hi there,

I want to know if exist a function or a trick to set a rotation to a dx text.

That would be nice.

Thanks

You can create render target and draw text on it. Then use dxDrawImage to draw the render target with rotation.

Oh ok, say me if I'm on the right way.

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function() 
        myRenderTarget = dxCreateRenderTarget( 100, 80 ) 
    end 
) 
  
local rotation = 90; 
  
addEventHandler( "onClientRender", root, 
    function() 
        if myRenderTarget then 
            dxSetRenderTarget( myRenderTarget ) 
            dxDrawText ( "Hello", 10, 20 ) 
             
            dxDrawImage( 50,  50,  100, 100, myRenderTarget , rotation, 0, 0) 
        end 
    end 
)

You are on the right way. If you have tested it you should know if it works. I think you have to call dxSetRenderTarget to nil once you finished drawing on it, otherwise you'd draw render target inside of render target. So, before you draw the render target, simply call: dxSetRenderTarget() without any arguments passed to the func.

Okay, it works perfectly good.

Thanks !
