scoreboard

[ViRuZGamiing]

Hello,

Tell me what I need to make a scoreboard from scratch with username, group, playtime and ping

[Drakath]

getPlayerName 
getPlayerPing 
getElementData( player, group ) --Needs an additional script to set the group element data. 
getElementData( player, playtime ) --Needs an additional script to set the play time element data. 

[ViRuZGamiing]

Okay,

So i know this,

pName = getPlayerName (thePlayer) 
pPing = getPlayerPing(thePlayer) 
acc = getPlayerAccount(thePlayer) 
if acc and not isGuestAccount(acc) then  
team = getPlayerTeam(thePlayer) 
if team then 
setAccountData(acc, "team", getTeamName(team)) 

Playtime I will figure out but how to draw this data on a dxDrawRectangle?

[Noki]

Use dxDrawText within the rectangle.

local ping = getPlayerPing(thePlayer)

dxDrawText(""..ping.."", rest of the arguments)

[ViRuZGamiing]

Thx,

Btw nice avatar.

[ViRuZGamiing]

Another thing;

getPlayerName gets only 1 name, right? I need every player on the scoreboard.

[bandi94]

for i,player in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
  dxDraw(getPlayerName(player), ......) 
end 

[ViRuZGamiing]

Does this enter everyname?

Like

Name1

Name2

instead of Name1Name2

You will never create anything better than MTA default scoreboard.

[ViRuZGamiing]

It doesn't need to be better,

I want to have a scoreboard having an Image instead of an Rectangle, and no setting button also.

[bandi94]

You need the start Y poz, then draw player name , then increase Y by the used font Height*1.5 , then draw the next player , and again increase Y and ...

[ViRuZGamiing]

Bandi I will try some stuff out 'as I know you are very experienced with dxDrawings' and post the code in here.

@bandi94 can I connect you over skype (chat not call)

local text_h = dxGetFontHeight(1,"bankgothic") 
  
addEventHandler("onClientRender",root, 
function () 
  
 local name_X = 350 
 local team_X = 700 
 local ping_X = 950 
 local name_Y = 200 
 local namend_Y = 700 
  
 if not getKeyState("tab") then return end  
  
 dxDrawRectangle(250, 100, 800, 600, tocolor(0, 100, 255, 150), true) 
 dxDrawText("Belgium-Reallife", 250, 100, 1050, 200, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 2.00, "bankgothic", "center", "center", false, false, true, false, false) 
 dxDrawLine(250, 200, 1050, 200, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, true) 
 dxDrawLine(550, 200, 550, 700, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, true) 
 dxDrawLine(850, 200, 850, 700, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, true) 
 --dxDrawText("Team1", 550, 200, 850, 700, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "bankgothic", "center", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
 --dxDrawText("Ping1", 850, 200, 1050, 700, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "bankgothic", "center", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
  
  if name_Y  > namend_Y then return end  
  for i,player in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
  dxDrawText(getPlayerName(player),name_X,name_Y,name_X*1.2,name_Y*1.2,tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1.0, "pricedown" ) 
  name_Y = name_Y + text_h*1.5 
  end 
end) 

This is what I got, it works but the text is drawed behind the rectangle, how to fix?

local text_h = dxGetFontHeight ( 1, "bankgothic" ) 
  
addEventHandler("onClientRender",root, 
    function ( ) 
        local name_X = 350 
        local team_X = 700 
        local ping_X = 950 
        local name_Y = 200 
        local namend_Y = 700 
  
        if ( not getKeyState ( "tab" ) ) then 
            return 
        end 
  
        if ( name_Y > namend_Y ) then 
            return 
        end 
   
        dxDrawRectangle(250, 100, 800, 600, tocolor(0, 100, 255, 150), false) 
        dxDrawText("Belgium-Reallife", 250, 100, 1050, 200, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 2.00, "bankgothic", "center", "center", false, false, true, false, false) 
        dxDrawLine(250, 200, 1050, 200, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, false) 
        dxDrawLine(550, 200, 550, 700, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, false) 
        dxDrawLine(850, 200, 850, 700, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, false) 
        --dxDrawText("Team1", 550, 200, 850, 700, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "bankgothic", "center", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
        --dxDrawText("Ping1", 850, 200, 1050, 700, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "bankgothic", "center", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
  
        for _, player in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do 
            dxDrawText ( getPlayerName ( player ), name_X, name_Y, name_X * 1.2, name_Y * 1.2, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1.0, "pricedown" ) 
            name_Y = ( name_Y + text_h * 1.5 ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

[ViRuZGamiing]

The name is still behind the rectangle

[Castillo]

Copy it again.

[ViRuZGamiing]

LOL, maybe something went wrong with copying but indeed it works now.

Can I also do this;

        for _, player in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do 
            dxDrawText ( getPlayerName ( player ), name_X, name_Y, name_X * 1.2, name_Y * 1.2, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1.0, "pricedown" ) 
            name_Y = ( name_Y + text_h * 1.5 ) 
        end 

For Ping?

[ViRuZGamiing]

I tried this but didn't work;

        for _, player in ipairs ( getPlayerPing( thePlayer ) ) do 
            dxDrawText ( getPlayerPing( thePlayer ), ping_X, name_Y, name_X * 1.2, name_Y * 1.2, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1.0, "pricedown" ) 
            name_Y = ( name_Y + text_h * 1.5 ) 
        end 

[Castillo]

Use the same loop as for names, and add a new dxDrawText which draws the player ping.

[ViRuZGamiing]

I know how to draw but how to correctly loop as mine is wrong.

[ViRuZGamiing]

Could this work?

        for _, player in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do 
            dxDrawText ( getPlayerPing(getLocalPlayer()), ping_X, name_Y, ping_X * 1.2, name_Y * 1.2, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1.0, "bankgothic" ) 
            name_Y = ( name_Y + text_h * 1.5 ) 
        end 

[ViRuZGamiing]

Okay it works no problem

[Castillo]

That'll only obtain the ping from the local player.

local text_h = dxGetFontHeight ( 1, "bankgothic" ) 
  
addEventHandler("onClientRender",root, 
    function ( ) 
        local name_X = 350 
        local team_X = 700 
        local ping_X = 950 
        local name_Y = 200 
        local namend_Y = 700 
  
        if ( not getKeyState ( "tab" ) ) then 
            return 
        end 
  
        if ( name_Y > namend_Y ) then 
            return 
        end 
  
        dxDrawRectangle(250, 100, 800, 600, tocolor(0, 100, 255, 150), false) 
        dxDrawText("Belgium-Reallife", 250, 100, 1050, 200, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 2.00, "bankgothic", "center", "center", false, false, true, false, false) 
        dxDrawLine(250, 200, 1050, 200, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, false) 
        dxDrawLine(550, 200, 550, 700, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, false) 
        dxDrawLine(850, 200, 850, 700, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, false) 
        --dxDrawText("Team1", 550, 200, 850, 700, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "bankgothic", "center", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
        --dxDrawText("Ping1", 850, 200, 1050, 700, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "bankgothic", "center", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
  
        for _, player in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do 
            dxDrawText ( getPlayerName ( player ), name_X, name_Y, name_X * 1.2, name_Y * 1.2, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1.0, "pricedown" ) 
            dxDrawText ( tostring ( getPlayerPing ( player ) ), ping_X, name_Y, ping_X * 1.2, name_Y * 1.2, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1.0, "pricedown" ) 
            name_Y = ( name_Y + text_h * 1.5 ) 
        end 
    end 
)
