How to use InterpolateBetween on dxDrawings

[MisterQuestions]

Hey, i got a dude, and its how to use that function 'InterpolateBetween' on dxElements Like texts, rectangles, etc...

Just play with the function. Try the example that wiki provide.

[MisterQuestions]

Noo i dont understand it

[Dealman]

Of course you won't understand it if you refuse to even try to understand it.

Some of the examples there are a bit over the top for those new to the function, but the last example is easy enough to understand the basics of it. As previously mentioned - play around with it.

In the end, trial and error is a big part of coding.

I just understood the camera example...

Good, if you have some problem with the script, dont hesitate to post it.

for me i use it like that :

local prog = 0 
addEventHandler('onClientRender',root, 
function() 
prog = math.min(prog+0.02,1) 
cX,cY,cX = interpolateBetween(0, 0, 0, 0, 10, 0,prog,"Linear") 
dxDrawRectangle(100,cY,100,100) 
end 
) 

there's other way but this is better for me

local prog = 0 
addEventHandler('onClientRender',root, 
function() 
prog = prog < 1 and prog + 0.02 or 1 
cX,cY,cX = interpolateBetween(0, 0, 0, 0, 10, 0,prog,"Linear") 
dxDrawRectangle(100,cY,100,100) 
end 
) 
  

I think that is faster rather than math.min, not sure tought.

another way to get progress?

[Bonsai]

Yes, check Wiki Example!

A simple example with time values:

  
local tick = getTickCount() 
local duration = 6000 -- 6 seconds (ms) 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, 
    function() 
        local progress = ((getTickCount() - tick)/duration) 
        local cX, cY = interpolateBetween(0, 0, 0, 0, 10, 0, progress, "Linear") 
        dxDrawRectangle(cX, cY, 100, 100) 
    end 
)

Finally got it! Thanks all, but now, how to make it infinite?
