Animations on text (?)

['LinKin]

Hello,

As you know, it exists a script for making animations with an image. (i.e Hurry up! Image in Race)

But I was wondering, if there's a way to apply animations like these to a text draw by dxDrawText.

Seems impossible for me, but I want to make sure

Thanks,

LinKin.

You can do that, on the client render you should use some math functions and if-statements to make the text size increase and decrease.

You are also able to rotate text

Uh, any example?

If you're looking to move the text from one position to another, or one scale to another (anything you can edit about it really) then you can use

interpolateBetween 

Combined with the several easing functions you can make all sorts of animations with this function

Uh, any example?

if you had paid attention to my question would already have your text with animation.

Didn't test though.

  
local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() 
local defScale = 1 
local currentScale = defScale 
local maxScale = 3 
local step = 0.3 -- How fast to change the size 
local turn = true -- true = increase size, false = decrease size 
local font = "default-bold" 
local text = "This texts pulses" 
  
function renderPulse() 
  if turn == true then -- If we increase the value 
    currentScale = currentScale + step 
    if currentScale > maxScale then 
      currentScale = maxScale 
      turn = false -- Reached max? Then make it go back 
    end 
  else 
    currentScale = currentScale - step 
    if currentScale < defScale then 
      currentScale = defScale 
      turn = true 
    end 
  end 
  local width = dxGetTextWidth(text,currentScale,font) 
  local height = dxGetFontHeight(currentScale,font) 
  dxDrawText(text,x/2-width/2,y/2-height/2,width,height,tocolor(255,255,255,255),currentScale,font) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(),renderPulse)
