dxDrawText problem

[scienziato-pazzo]

Hi, I wrote this client script:

showPlayerHudComponent("clock", false) 
  
function updateHud() 
    --outputChatBox("function test") -- It works 
    local screenWidth, screenHeight = getScreenSize() 
    --[[local realtime = getRealTime() 
    local hour = realtime.hour 
    local minute = realtime.minute]]-- 
    dxDrawText("00:00", screenWidth/2 - 1229, screenHeight/2 - 56, screenWidth, screenHeight) 
end 
  
--function timeHudF() 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), updateHud)   
--end 
  
--addEventHandler("timeHud", getRootElement(), timeHudF) 

The function is called, but dxDrawText doesn't work. Why?

screenWidth/2 - 1229 

maybe because of this ?

screenWidth/2 - 1229

I setted + instead of -, but it doesn't work.

Line 5: getScreenSize should be guiGetScreenSize

No matter what, it will be outside your screen. Remove "- 1229" at all. Plus yeah, it should be guiGetScreenSize(), not getScreenSize()

Thanks, it works, but only if I leave

screenWidth/2 - 

and

screenHeight/2 - 

. The same if I write + instead of -, but it's a wrong position. Why?

If I do this, it sets a wrong position for the text.

You must calculate it.

showPlayerHudComponent("clock", false) 
local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() 
  
function updateHud() 
    --outputChatBox("function test") -- It works 
    local realtime = getRealTime() 
    local hour = realtime.hour 
    local minute = realtime.minute 
    dxDrawText("00:00",x - 100,y/2 - 56,x,y) -- Find your preferred position. 
end 
  
--function timeHudF() 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), updateHud)  
--end 
  
--addEventHandler("timeHud", getRootElement(), timeHudF)

Try to use guieditor resource to get your preferred positions.

Try to use guieditor resource to get your preferred positions.

I used it, but I want the position for all resolutions.

showPlayerHudComponent("clock", false) 
local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() 
  
function updateHud() 
    --outputChatBox("function test") -- It works 
    local realtime = getRealTime() 
    local hour = realtime.hour 
    local minute = realtime.minute 
    dxDrawText("00:00",x - 100,y/2 - 56,x,y) -- Find your preferred position. 
end 
  
--function timeHudF() 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), updateHud)  
--end 
  
--addEventHandler("timeHud", getRootElement(), timeHudF) 

It doesn't work.

I tried the code written in the third post, but it doesn't work.

Don't copypaste, but try your own calculations + report if any debug errors appear.

I used 1229 instead of 100 and 56.

EDIT: Now it works, because I wrote Weight instead of Height, but it's a wrong position.

Give me your original positions from guieditor and the resolution where you used the guieditor.

Give me your original positions from guieditor and the resolution where you used the guieditor.

GUIEditor = {

label = {}

}

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot,

function()

GUIEditor.label[1] = guiCreateLabel(1229, 56, 140, 48, "00:00", false)

end

)

My resolution is 1440x900.

[Sasu]

local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
local sx, sy = screenWidth/1400, screenHeight/900 
  
--(...) 
guiCreateLabel(1229*sx, 56*sy, 140*sx, 48*sy, "00:00", false)  
  

The same with dx positions.

Thanks! Now it works!
