dxDrawText

[Newbie]

    dxDrawText("STATS", x/1.7, y/3.55, 55, 15, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 0.40, "bankgothic", "left", "top", false, false, false, false, false) 

Is there any way to detect if player clicks on the text ?

buton = guiCreateButton(x/1.7, y/3.55, 55, 15, "Button") 
guiSetAlpha(buton , 0) 
  
 addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", buton,  
function() 
--Blba bla bla 
end)

Use the event onClientClick. You'll have to make some calculations to check whether the clicked position was within the boundaries of the drawn text.

buton = guiCreateButton(x/1.7, y/3.55, 55, 15, "Button") 
guiSetAlpha(buton , 0) 
  
 addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", buton,  
function() 
--Blba bla bla 
end) 

@Golanu, he wants for dxDraw not for GUI.

@Newbie i suggest you to create a guiLabel, and then use onClientGUIClick to check when the player click on the label, if you want show a window or a gui element then use guiSetVisible.

Example:

  
local myLabel = guiCreateLabel  ( x, y, width, height, "text", true ) 
local myWindow = guiCreateWindow ( x, y, width, height, "Information", true ) 
guiSetVisible(myWindow, false) 
  
function onClick() 
guiSetVisible(myWindow, true) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", root, onClick)

Nikolai just don't write if you don't have any clue.

@Newbie, i would recommened you BlanK9's example.

Or you could do some maths:

  
addEventHandler("onClientClick",root, 
    function(b,state) 
        if state == down then -- check if  the state is down , otherwise it triggers this function 2 times (up and down) 
            if isMouseWithinRangeOf(x/1.7,55,y/3.55,15) then -- your dx drawn text. 
                ....-- your code. 
            end 
        end 
end 
) 
                 
  
function isMouseWithinRangeOf(psx,pssx,psy,pssy) 
  if isCursorShowing() == false then 
    return false 
  end 
  local cx,cy = getCursorPosition() 
  cx,cy = cx*x,cy*y 
  if cx >= psx and cx <= psx+pssx and cy >= psy and cy <= psy+pssy then 
    return true,cx,cy 
  else 
    return false 
  end 
end 

Hope that helps you.

"onClientClick is more efficient". You don't even need to create any gui element for dx but if you want to make a rectangle or something then use "onClientGUIClick" else its not needed.

Oh sorry it's a typo. i meant onClientClick.
