DxDrawText

[Mann56]

Hey guys!

I have been working on a hud where i am going to use dxtext for the first time. I saw the wiki but i have no idea how to get those absolute x and absolute y position where i want the text. Can someone help me?

Thanks...

Nvm above thing i found how to sort it out i did this ->

speedx,speedy,speedz = getElementVelocity(getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)) 
kmh = math.floor(((speedx^2 + speedy^2 + speedz^2) ^ (0.5)) * 180) 
dxDrawText (""..tostring(kmh).."km/h" , 1050,700,x,y,tocolor(255,255,255,255),2,"bankgothic") 
end 

Now, how can i make it general for all resolutions?

[darhal]

tell me your current resolution ?

  
local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
cResolutionY = 600 -- put your current resoultion Y here  for me it s 600 
cResolutionX = 800 -- put your current resoultion X here  for me it s 800 
function correctResolutinY(y) 
    if y then 
        return (y/cResolutionY )*screenHeight 
    end 
end 
  
function correctResolutinX(x) 
    if x then 
        return (x/cResolutionX)*screenWidth 
    end 
end

1360 * 768 * 32

and i changed the thing again ->

speedx,speedy,speedz = getElementVelocity(getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)) 
kmh = math.floor(((speedx^2 + speedy^2 + speedz^2) ^ (0.5)) * 180) 
dxDrawText (""..tostring(kmh).." km/h" , 1080,700,x,y,tocolor(255,255,0,255),2,"pricedown") 
end 

Thank you for helping

Now, how can i make it general for all resolutions?

use

guiGetScreenSize() 
  
-- Example 
local sxW,syW = guiGetScreenSize() 
  
dxDrawText("text", sxW*(posX/1366),syW*(posY/768),sxW*(1244.0/1366),syW*(750.0/768), tocolor(255,0,0,255),2, "default-bold")

i used that ->

local x,y = guiGetScreenSize () 

SO now should i set it to x- (1360-1080),y - (768-700) ?

[darhal]

try this

  
  
--- Use render event here please ! 
speedx,speedy,speedz = getElementVelocity(getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)) 
kmh = math.floor(((speedx^2 + speedy^2 + speedz^2) ^ (0.5)) * 180) 
dxDrawText (""..tostring(kmh).." km/h" , correctResolutinX(1080),correctResolutinY(700),x,y,tocolor(255,255,0,255),2,"pricedown") 
-- 
  
  
local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
cResolutionY = 768-- put your current resoultion Y here   
cResolutionX = 1360 -- put your current resoultion X here   
function correctResolutinY(y) 
    if y then 
        return (y/cResolutionY )*screenHeight 
    end 
end 
  
function correctResolutinX(x) 
    if x then 
        return (x/cResolutionX)*screenWidth 
    end 
end

dude how does that work?

[darhal]

I edited the code test it

[Mann56]

I edited the code test it

I changed the resolution to 800 * 600 * 32 but i dont see the speedometer

EDIT : i see it in 1360 * 600 * 32

cResolutionY = 768-- put your current resoultion Y here   
cResolutionX = 1360 -- put your current resoultion X here   
function correctResolutinY(y) 
    if y then 
        return (y/cResolutionY )*screenHeight 
    end 
end 
  
function correctResolutinX(x) 
    if x then 
        return (x/cResolutionX)*screenWidth 
    end 
end 
  

It should work now I forget to correct the position x and y

Not working in 800 * 600 *32 :c

Wrong post i posted for digital speedometer

@-Blue-, my code is like yours, but it is simpler
