dx drawing functions

[MAB]

Hi i need your help with a dx drawing functions... i am making a dx speedometer but this my first time to deal with dx and gui stuff so i looked to the drawing functions i didn't find anything in the rectangle that makes my able to write in that rectangle

dxDrawText...do u use that to write on the rectangle? what about progress bars? how u make them inside the rectangle??

I NEED AN EXAMPLE NOT TO TELL ME WHAT FUNCTION TO USE

also the rectangles ain't getting destroyed when the player leaves the vehicle

code:

function draw () 
nitro = dxDrawRectangle(929, 619, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
fuel = dxDrawRectangle(929, 576, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
speed = dxDrawRectangle(929, 533, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
lock = dxDrawRectangle(929, 490, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
engine = dxDrawRectangle(929, 447, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
light = dxDrawRectangle(929, 404, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
end 
  
function event ()    
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, draw) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerVehicleEnter",getRootElement(),event) 
  
function destroy () 
destroyElement(nitro) 
destroyElement(fuel) 
destroyElement(speed) 
destroyElement(lock) 
destroyElement(engine) 
destroyElement(light) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerVehicleExit",getRootElement(),destroy)

- isPedInVehicle 
- getElementHealth 
- getElementVelocity 
...  
You have to multiplicate the size of the rectangle per the status of u want. 
Sorry for don't explain it correctly.

If you click those functions, you can find examples. Noone is going to write a full code for you here

Of course it won't close ...

Use removeEventHandler for the function "draw" and dont use these variables!

Yes, almost everyone uses dxDrawText to write texts. As for editboxes, you can either use a real editbox, or draw another rectangle and an editbox upfront it, and set editbox's alpha to 0, that way you can write there. I personally never use progress-bars as some math can solve anything.

and destroyElements aren't used for dx things, you have to use removeEventHandler as said above.

function destroy () 
 removeEventHandler ("onClientRender", root, draw) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerVehicleExit",getRootElement(),destroy)

try this

function draw () 
local theVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( getLocalPlayer() ) 
    if ( theVehicle ) then 
        dxDrawRectangle(929, 619, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
        dxDrawRectangle(929, 576, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
        dxDrawRectangle(929, 533, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
        dxDrawRectangle(929, 490, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
        dxDrawRectangle(929, 447, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
        dxDrawRectangle(929, 404, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, draw)

try this

function draw () 
local theVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( getLocalPlayer() ) 
    if ( theVehicle ) then 
        dxDrawRectangle(929, 619, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
        dxDrawRectangle(929, 576, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
        dxDrawRectangle(929, 533, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
        dxDrawRectangle(929, 490, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
        dxDrawRectangle(929, 447, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
        dxDrawRectangle(929, 404, 170, 33, tocolor(57, 59, 50, 100), false) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, draw) 

This will just show rectangle not the health or the other things

I made the example for you, friend.

not work ?
