dxDrawText Relative problem

[Karuzo]

Hey Guys,

so i have again a question about my scoreboard.

I have this code :

dxDrawImage((x- 720)/2, (y-460) /2, 720, 460, "images/back.png", 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), false) 
dxDrawText("Name", (x - 110) / 2.3, (y - 29) / 3.7, 110,29, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default-bold", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
dxDrawText(getPlayersOnline().."/50" ,(x - 101) / 1.25, (y - 27) / 4.3, ((x - 101) / 1.25) + 101, ( (y - 27) / 4.3) + 27, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default-bold", "left", "top", false, false, false, false, false) 
dxDrawText("Germain Kaff Reillife by Blackpotato", (x - 168) / 1.7, (y - 23) / 4.2, ((x - 168) / 1.7) + 168, ( (y - 23) / 3.-- s8) --> + 23, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default-bold", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
dxDrawText("Ping", (x - 110) / 1.25, (y - 29) / 3.7, ((x - 110) / 1.25) + 10, ( (y - 29) / 3.7) + 29, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default-bold", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
dxDrawText("Money", (x - 110) / 1.78, (y - 29) / 3.7, ((x - 110) / 1.78) + 110, ( (y - 29) / 3.7) + 29, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default-bold", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 

Ok. so whats my question ? The dxText's aren't in that place where they should be .

So i searched a little bit in the forum, i've found out that i need to do them in relative.

But wiki says:

left: the absolute X coordinate of the top left corner of the text

I should give the coordinates in absolute.

So what's right now ?

[Gallagher]

local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize ( ) 
dxDrawText("TEXT",screenWidth*0.248, screenHeight*0.955, screenWidth*0.0, screenHeight*0.0, tocolor(230, 252, 250, 255), 0.45, "bankgothic", "left", "top", false, false, false, false, false) 

I do so and it works

[Karuzo]

Thank you for your reply.

But how do i know what 720 is in relative ?

Btw, isn't x-720/2 not the same as x*0.720 ?

[Gallagher]

Thank you for your reply.

I do not know much, but be assured that this script works in all resolutions

[Karuzo]

hmm ok thank you.

[Karuzo]

Could someone explain it to me please ?

Relative:

Left hand side of your screen is 0 and the right hand side of your screen is 1. So 0.5 is the centre.

Absolute:

As far as I know, it is counted in pixels, so, '20, 20' is going to be at the 20th pixel of your screen, if you get me.

How to get the relative:

Simple maths. Lets say, you want to draw a dxRectangle, starting at 0, 0 and you want the size to be half of the screen. Just do:

local sX, sY = guiGetScreenSize() 
local rX, rY = sX * 0.5, sY * 0.5 -- 50% 
dxDrawRectangle(0, 0, rX, rY)
