Help with loop

[mustang]

Iam trying to make draw an img with dxDrawImage but i want to show this img with different rotations

for example i want this img to show on resource start with angle of 0 and after one second the angle changes to 10 then after 2 seconds it changes to 20 degrees i tried this

  
x = 0 
timer= 0 
degree= 0 
  
function drawit() 
while x <5 do 
         degree = degree+ 10 
        timer = timer+ 1000 
        x = x +1         
         setTimer ( function() 
         img= dxDrawImage(Disk_pos_X, Disk_pos_Y, 100, 100, "img.png", degree, 0, 0, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), true) 
    end, timer, 1 ) 
  
   
     
   end 
     
end 
  
  
  
  

but it didnt work i used outputChatBox to see what it prints , i noticed that the timer is 5000 which is 5 seconds and the degree is 50 and it prints that 5 times , any solution ?

just to mention , if it was only 5 times i would do 5 timers , but iam using it for about 270 - 500 times

Thanks.

dxDrawImage returns a boolean, not an element. And you must use it in a render event.

But other than that, I think this is what you might've been trying to make

local tick; 
local degree = 0; 
  
function dxDrawRotatingImages ( ) 
    if ( not tick ) then 
        tick = getTickCount ( ) 
    end 
  
    if ( getTickCount ( ) - tick >= 2000 ) then 
        tick = getTickCount ( ) 
        degree = degree + 10 
        if ( degree >= 360 ) then 
            degree = degree - 360 
        end 
    end 
  
    dxDrawImage ( Disk_pos_X, Disk_pos_Y, 100, 100, "img.png", degree, 0, 0, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), true) 
    dxDrawImage ( Disk_pos_X, Disk_pos_Y, 100, 100, "img.png", 0, 0, 0, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), true) 
end  
addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, dxDrawRotatingImages )

I will try that and let you know

Thanks man , worked as i wanted !
