[Help] createMarker

[Hell-Mate]

Hello community ,,

I just saw CIT server marker and i would like to know how to create on like this instead of the normal marker.

any one can help ?

[myonlake]

And what exactly is this Cit marker and what does it do?

[Hell-Mate]

it do just the same what any marker do, but the difference is just how it look like. i mean another image + another shape

Show us picture.

okay, here is a pic >

You have to use DX functions, or just find similar object and create invisible marker on it.

No no. its not working like that because when im far a bit from the marker i see the normal one but when im near i see the one like on the pic ( getDistanceBetweenPoints3D ). i think i can change marker object with txd workshop ?

[myonlake]

That's made with dxDrawLine3D. You have to use that in combination with mathematical calculations to make it work.

I suppose you could change the texture too, not sure.

Never used such a function, any example ? or tell me how to create such a marker like on the pic with this function ?

[myonlake]

To even begin using the function, you need to render it like so.

local position = { 
    startX = 0, -- x coordinate of the start position 
    startY = 0, -- y coordinate of the start position 
    startZ = 4, -- z coordinate of the start position 
    endX = 10, -- x coordinate of the end position 
    endY = 10, -- y coordinate of the end position 
    endZ = 10 -- z coordinate of the end position 
} 
  
addEventHandler( "onClientHUDRender", root, 
    function( ) 
        dxDrawLine3D( position.startX, position.startY, position.startZ, position.endX, position.endY, position.endZ, tocolor( 245, 20, 20, 180 ), 3.25 ) 
    end 
) 

That marker is made with mathematical calculations to make it a circle. Simply just read more about trigonometric functions and test the formula examples, which you can find by searching on Google. The one you are especially looking for is the unit circle.

Thanks myonlake, no problem with the normal marker. no need to :O my mind and learn some new mathematical calculations and trigonometric functions. so i will use the normal marker

[myonlake]

I wonder what do you mean by "new mathematical calculations"? I recall all schools in this world teach people trigonometric functions, but okay. And they also teach how to calculate spheres, so yep...

But, you're welcome.

dude, when i was in school i always fail in math dont lemme remember these fuc**n days
