Dxdraw Question

[aintaro]

Hello guys,

How would I write a simple dxdraw method where the font size is adjusted to the screen resolution?

I know dxdraw has a optional scaleX and scaleY as arguments for the method but I just don't know how to write it.

Thanks , aintaro

You can get the screen width and hight with guiGetScreenSize.

You can then use something like

local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize ( ) -- Get the screen resolution (width and height) 
  
local scale = screenHeight/10 
  
function createText ( ) 
    dxDrawText ("TEXT HERE",200,200,0, 0, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), scale, "pricedown" )  
end 
  
function HandleTheRendering ( ) 
    addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, createText ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, HandleTheRendering )

For advanced scaling(how everyone uses it)

local sX,sY = guiGetScreenSize() 
local Scale = sY/900 -- 900 is your screen height(1600x900)
