getScreenSize help

[..:D&G:..]

Hey, I need some hep on the function getScreenSize. This seems to be a really helpfull function for me, but I need a bit more help.

How do I use this function for this line? :

dxDrawRectangle(52, 220, 329, 351, tocolor(1, 0, 0, 170), true) 

I know I have to do:

local x, y = guiGetScreenSize() 

Now how do I implement the x and y on the position of the rectangle?

What are you trying to do?

I want to make that rectable to it doesn't look big when people have small resolutions. So it changes shape acording to the resolution of the player.

local sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize ( ) 
dxDrawRectangle( ( sx / 2 - 52 ), ( sy / 2 - 220 ), 329, 351, tocolor(1, 0, 0, 170), true) 

The position won't be correct now, but you can move it until it fit what you need and see if it worked.

local sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize ( ) 
dxDrawRectangle( ( sx / 2 - 52 ), ( sy / 2 - 220 ), 329, 351, tocolor(1, 0, 0, 170), true)

leveraging the topic, how to put rims or contour in DxDrawRectangle?

local sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize ( ) 
dxDrawRectangle( ( sx / 2 - 52 ), ( sy / 2 - 220 ), 329, 351, tocolor(1, 0, 0, 170), true) 

Question, why have u put 2 - in there? I know why the - is there, but why 2?

sx / 2 = half of the screen width.
