Scoreboard problem

[Karuzo]

Good Evening,

so me and my colleague are makin a scoreboard but we have a big problem with drawing the names.

So i want it that every new name it counts +1 just 5 units under the first name.

Here's my code :

    local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
    local playas = 0 
    for amt, player in pairs(players) do 
        playas = playas + 1 
        if (playas <= 20) then 
            local ping = getPlayerPing(player) 
            if (ping >= 250) then 
            r,g,b = 200,20,25 
            elseif (ping >= 120) then 
            r,g,b = 255,149,4 
            else         
            r,g,b = 50,200,50        
            end      
dxDrawText(getPlayerName ( player ), screenW/2.3,screenH/4*amt/5, screenW/1.9,screenH/4, tocolor(255,255,255), 1.2 , "sans","center", "center",false, false,true,true)   
    end 
end 
  

Hope you could help us.

Define a variable with the height, then increase it by 5 for each player.

Sorry for the late reply.

Here's my code :

local playheight = 2 
    local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
    local playas = 0 
    for amt, player in pairs(players) do 
        playas = playas + 1 
        if (playas <= 20) then 
            local ping = getPlayerPing(player) 
            if (ping >= 250) then 
            r,g,b = 200,20,25 
            elseif (ping >= 120) then 
            r,g,b = 255,149,4 
            else         
            r,g,b = 50,200,50        
            end      
dxDrawText(getPlayerName ( player ), (screenW- 2)/3.15,(screenH + 12)+ playheight, screenW/2,screenH/4, tocolor(255,255,255), 1 , "default","center", "center",false, false,true,true)

local playheight = 2 
    local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
    local playas = 0 
    for amt, player in pairs(players) do 
        playas = playas + 1 
        if (playas <= 20) then 
            local ping = getPlayerPing(player) 
            if (ping >= 250) then 
            r,g,b = 200,20,25 
            elseif (ping >= 120) then 
            r,g,b = 255,149,4 
            else        
            r,g,b = 50,200,50       
            end     
            dxDrawText(getPlayerName ( player ), (screenW- 2)/3.15,(screenH + 12)+ playheight, screenW/2,screenH/4, tocolor(255,255,255), 1 , "default","center", "center",false, false,true,true) 
            playheight = ( playheight + 5 ) 
        end
