dxDrawImage

[DRW]

Hello, I've created a dxDrawImage on the 3D world but somehow nothing appears, what can I do?

addEventHandler ("onClientResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),function() 
setElementDimension (minepedt1, 200) 
setPedFrozen (minepedt1,true) 
addEventHandler( 'onClientRender', root, function() 
local scX, scY = guiGetScreenSize(); 
local l_w      = 64; 
local l_h      = 64; 
local l_ratio  = l_w / l_h; 
local lscale_w = 1920 / scX; 
l_w            = l_w / lscale_w; 
l_h            = l_w / l_ratio; 
          local px, py = getScreenFromWorldPosition(238.48828125, 555.599609375, 86.254005432129, 0.06 ) 
                       dxDrawImage( px-l_w/2, py - scY/17, l_w, l_h, 'sonido/moon.png', 0, 0, 0, tocolor( 255,255,255, 255 ) ); 
  
end) 
end)

Use:

dxDrawMaterialLine3D

Use:

dxDrawMaterialLine3D 

  
addEventHandler( 'onClientRender', root, function() 
local img1 = dxCreateTexture ("sonido/moon.png","png",2000,2000) 
dxDrawMaterialLine3D (-1410.13671875, 1362.8200683594, 109.26251983643,-1410.13671875, 1362.8203125, 119.46251678467,img1,80) 
  
end) 

Tried this, not working, nothing in debugscript.

Better check dxCreateTexture syntax again.

dxCreateTexture("sonido/moon.png")

Better check dxCreateTexture syntax again.

dxCreateTexture("sonido/moon.png") 

It works! Thanks, but I have too much lag, FPS drop from 40-50 to 4.8. Isn't there any alternative or something to make it work good? I mean, it's just an image, that FPS drop is not very normal.

dx draw functions are very resource consuming, nothing you can do to avoid fps drop, except using smaller resolution and not using it to draw too much. thats limitations of current mta version.

local white = tocolor(255,255,255,255) 
function dxDrawImage3D(x,y,z,w,h,m,c,r,...) 
        local lx, ly, lz = x+w, y+h, (z+tonumber(r or 0)) or z 
    return dxDrawMaterialLine3D(x,y,z, lx, ly, lz, m, h, c or white, ...) 
end 
  
local pnet = dxCreateTexture("planet.png") 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, 
    function() 
        dxDrawImage3D(0,0, 20, 20, 800, pnet, tocolor(255,255,255,255)) 
    end 
) 
  

I've used this, it consumes almost nothing, the only problem is that I want the image to look always at me, and this one only looks at me when I'm over or below the image, but hey, the dxDrawMaterialLine3D looks at me if I'm at the right or left side of the image, so it's almost the same problem. Look at this: viewtopic.php?f=91&t=89832,

Try:

local white = tocolor(255,255,255,255) 
function dxDrawImage3D(x,y,z,w,h,m,c,r) 
        local lx, ly, lz = x+w, y+h, (z+tonumber(r or 0)) or z 
    return dxDrawMaterialLine3D(x,y,z, lx, ly, lz, m, h, c or white) 
end 
  
local pnet = dxCreateTexture("planet.png") 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, 
    function() 
        dxDrawImage3D(0,0, 20, 20, 800, pnet, tocolor(255,255,255,255)) 
    end 
)

You were creating the texture 30-60 times per second. Anything run inside onClientRender will be done with every frame.

addEventHandler( 'onClientRender', root, function() 
local img1 = dxCreateTexture ("sonido/moon.png","png",2000,2000) -- This is run with every frame, you only need to do it once. 
dxDrawMaterialLine3D (-1410.13671875, 1362.8200683594, 109.26251983643,-1410.13671875, 1362.8203125, 119.46251678467,img1,80) 
  
end) 

[DRW]

Try:

local white = tocolor(255,255,255,255) 
function dxDrawImage3D(x,y,z,w,h,m,c,r) 
        local lx, ly, lz = x+w, y+h, (z+tonumber(r or 0)) or z 
    return dxDrawMaterialLine3D(x,y,z, lx, ly, lz, m, h, c or white) 
end 
  
local pnet = dxCreateTexture("planet.png") 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, 
    function() 
        dxDrawImage3D(0,0, 20, 20, 800, pnet, tocolor(255,255,255,255)) 
    end 
) 
  

Same as before

dxDrawMaterialLine3D has a parameter whether or not to face a certain position or always face the camera. Try using this instead?

Other than that I'm rather confused as to what the actual problem is. Is it still lagging? Is it not facing you?

Well, I'll explain you:

This one works pretty well, it prints the image to the 3D world and the lag is 0, so it's kinda good, but it's not facing me when i'm moving at left or right of the image, only if I'm moving up and down, so yeah, it faces me, but not on all directions.

local white = tocolor(255,255,255,255) 
function dxDrawImage3D(x,y,z,w,h,m,c,r,...) 
        local lx, ly, lz = x+w, y+h, (z+tonumber(r or 0)) or z 
    return dxDrawMaterialLine3D(x,y,z, lx, ly, lz, m, h, c or white, ...) 
end 
  
local pnet = dxCreateTexture("planet.png") 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, 
    function() 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
    dxDrawImage3D(0,0, 20, 20, 800, pnet, tocolor(255,255,255,255),0,x,y,z) 
    end 
) 

Now, this is exactly the opposite of the other one, it lags a lot and it only follows me if I move at the right or at the left side of the image, so by far I'd select the first, but both of them are useless to me since they can't follow the player properly until I do something, and I'm not very familiarized with the dxDraw functions, so no idea about how to solve it.

addEventHandler( 'onClientRender', root, function() 
local img1 = dxCreateTexture ("sonido/moon.png","png",2000,2000) 
dxDrawMaterialLine3D (-1410.13671875, 1362.8200683594, 109.26251983643,-1410.13671875, 1362.8203125, 119.46251678467,img1,80)

As I already said; the second one lags because you're creating a new texture with every frame. So of course it's gonna lag.

Simply move this line

local img1 = dxCreateTexture ("sonido/moon.png","png",2000,2000) 

To the top of the script. onClientRender is triggered with every drawn frame, and since MTA is drawn between 30 to 60 times per second. It's rather obvious why it would lag.

As for it facing you when you move left and right but not up and down is rather odd, I recall using this function a while ago and I believe it worked like you want it to. I might check it out later tonight.

Dammit, sorry, I didn't read that part and didn't notice that, it makes so much sense, thank you both for helping me
