[Help] Render Target

[.:HyPeX:.]

Well, the rectangle is somehow being drawn outside the render target... is there a way to make anything outside the render target to be cut off?

  
local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() 
local screen = dxCreateRenderTarget(x*0.33,y*0.32,true) 
  
local start = getTickCount() 
addEventHandler('onClientRender',root,function() 
dxSetRenderTarget(screen) 
local ax,ay = x*0.33,y*0.32 
local fx,fy = x*0.373,y*0.36 
outputChatBox(ax*0.2 + fx.." "..fx) 
local now = getTickCount() 
if now - start > 3000 then 
start = getTickCount() 
end 
local elapsed = now - start 
local progress = elapsed / 3000 
local sx = interpolateBetween(-ax*0.2, 0,0,ax*0.2,0,0,progress,"Linear") 
dxDrawRectangle(sx+fx, ay*0.5+fy, ax*0.2,ay*0.05,tocolor(0,0,0,255),true) 
--dxDrawRectangle(0, 0, ax, ay,tocolor(100,100,100,255)) 
dxSetRenderTarget() 
dxDrawImage(x*0.373,y*0.36,x*0.33,y*0.32,screen,0,0,0,tocolor(255,255,255,255),true) 
dxDrawRectangle(x*0.373,y*0.33, x*0.33, y*0.029,tocolor(50,50,50,255)) 
end,true,"high+6")  

[.:HyPeX:.]

And another issue: I cant make by any means make the black rectangle be drawn on top..

  
local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() 
local screen = dxCreateRenderTarget(x*0.33,y*0.32,true) 
  
local start = getTickCount() 
addEventHandler('onClientRender',root,function() 
dxSetRenderTarget(screen) 
local ax,ay = x*0.33,y*0.32 
local fx,fy = x*0.373,y*0.36 
local now = getTickCount() 
if now - start > 3000 then 
start = getTickCount() 
end 
local elapsed = now - start 
local progress = elapsed / 3000 
local sx = interpolateBetween(0, 0,0,ax*0.2,0,0,progress,"Linear") 
dxDrawRectangle(0, 0, ax, ay,tocolor(100,100,100,180)) 
dxDrawRectangle(ax*0.2+fx, ay*0.5+fy, ax*0.2,ay*0.05,tocolor(0,0,0,255),true) 
  
  
dxSetRenderTarget() 
dxDrawImage(x*0.373,y*0.36,x*0.33,y*0.32,screen,0,0,0,tocolor(255,255,255,255),true) 
dxDrawRectangle(x*0.373,y*0.33, x*0.33, y*0.029,tocolor(50,50,50,255)) 
end,true,"high+6")

Put the code of the black rectangle down all script stull, like this

  
local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() 
local screen = dxCreateRenderTarget(x*0.33,y*0.32,true) 
  
local start = getTickCount() 
addEventHandler('onClientRender',root,function() 
dxSetRenderTarget(screen) 
local ax,ay = x*0.33,y*0.32 
local fx,fy = x*0.373,y*0.36 
local now = getTickCount() 
if now - start > 3000 then 
start = getTickCount() 
end 
local elapsed = now - start 
local progress = elapsed / 3000 
local sx = interpolateBetween(0, 0,0,ax*0.2,0,0,progress,"Linear") 
dxDrawRectangle(0, 0, ax, ay,tocolor(100,100,100,180)) 
  
  
dxSetRenderTarget() 
dxDrawImage(x*0.373,y*0.36,x*0.33,y*0.32,screen,0,0,0,tocolor(255,255,255,255),true) 
dxDrawRectangle(x*0.373,y*0.33, x*0.33, y*0.029,tocolor(50,50,50,255)) 
end,true,"high+6") 
dxDrawRectangle(ax*0.2+fx, ay*0.5+fy, ax*0.2,ay*0.05,tocolor(0,0,0,255),true)

If you want to put the rectangle in the render target, put it before line 21 in your code (2nd message). If you want it ontop:

1. If it's inside the target: draw it after all other drawing parts

2. If it's outside of the target: draw it after you draw the render target

[MisterQuestions]

I'll already changed rectangle code, it reads the code up to down, so, if you want something on the front, just put it on last lines .

[.:HyPeX:.]

And another issue: I cant make by any means make the black rectangle be drawn on top..

  
local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() 
local screen = dxCreateRenderTarget(x*0.33,y*0.32,true) 
  
local start = getTickCount() 
addEventHandler('onClientRender',root,function() 
dxSetRenderTarget(screen) 
local ax,ay = x*0.33,y*0.32 
local fx,fy = x*0.373,y*0.36 
local now = getTickCount() 
if now - start > 3000 then 
start = getTickCount() 
end 
local elapsed = now - start 
local progress = elapsed / 3000 
local sx = interpolateBetween(0, 0,0,ax*0.2,0,0,progress,"Linear") 
dxDrawRectangle(0, 0, ax, ay,tocolor(100,100,100,180)) 
dxDrawRectangle(ax*0.2+fx, ay*0.5+fy, ax*0.2,ay*0.05,tocolor(0,0,0,255),true) 
  
  
dxSetRenderTarget() 
dxDrawImage(x*0.373,y*0.36,x*0.33,y*0.32,screen,0,0,0,tocolor(255,255,255,255),true) 
dxDrawRectangle(x*0.373,y*0.33, x*0.33, y*0.029,tocolor(50,50,50,255)) 
end,true,"high+6") 

The fact is i'm already drawing it after the gray rectangle - thats why it makes my mad as it doesnt go on top

[Gallardo9944]

That happens because your dxDrawImage of render target has postGUI argument set to true

[MisterQuestions]

ust use code what i gave u??

Oh Lol. Thanks! worked.

[.:HyPeX:.]

Now, my first question, how can i make the draw only draw the exact box made by the render taget?

  
dxSetRenderTarget(screen) 
local ax,ay = x*0.33,y*0.32 
local fx,fy = x*0.373,y*0.36 
local now = getTickCount() 
if now - start > 3000 then 
start = getTickCount() 
end 
local elapsed = now - start 
local progress = elapsed / 3000 
local sx = interpolateBetween(0, 0,0,ax*0.2,0,0,progress,"Linear") 
dxDrawRectangle(0, 0, ax, ay,tocolor(100,100,100,180)) 
dxDrawRectangle(-50+fx, ay*0.5+fy, ax*0.2,ay*0.05,tocolor(0,0,0,255),true) 
  
  
dxSetRenderTarget() 
dxDrawImage(x*0.373,y*0.36,x*0.33,y*0.32,screen,0,0,0,tocolor(255,255,255,255))

Ah i got it!, just move rectangle into render target .-. So simple!

Jeez, i'm not an idiot if i'm using already render targets, my fact is, i want the render target to cut anything outside itself. (i.e. the part of the rectangle wich is not inside).

dxSetRenderTarget

Read the optional arguments carefully.

Here an explanation about how this stuff works.

[IIYAMA]

2 ways.

- Get the pixels of the render target and get only the pixels you want. (you better not render the whole process this every frame unless you have a powerful gpu)

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/DxSetPixelColor

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/DxSetTexturePixels

- Or render it with: (so you can cut your image like you want)

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/DxDrawImageSection

The benefit of the first way is that you will render at a lower resolution, which can keep up the performance.

The benefit of the second way is that you can update it every frame, but I still do not recommend full resolution.
