guGetScreenSize()

[kikos500]

Well today I wanted to start to make a userpanel with dx so I wanted to make the panel appear in the same postion on all resolutions I know that I need to use guiGetScreenSize() but idk how to make the calculation after it I mean I want to create a panel using an image and make it open with animation I hope someone can understand me

Well, you would want not to use draw images, you can just manipulate with rectangles. As for screen size,

dxDrawRectangle (400, 400, 200, 200, tocolor (255, 255, 255)) 

applying screen size would look like this:

dxDrawRectangle (400/800*x, 400/600*y, 200/800*x, 200/600*y, tocolor (255, 255, 255)) 

this would only work if your coordinates are 800 x 600, and making sure you have defined x,y as screen size.

And as for animations, you can use interpolateBetween, best solution I know

Thanks at least I understand how to do it now

Would be nice if someone can provide an example with dxDraaImage too

I would not suggest you to use dxDrawImage, it'd be better if you use rectangles, it's almost the same believe me, especially for an UP.

--To make the panel appear in the same postion on all resolutions 
  
local sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize() 
local px, py = 1980, 1080 --This is the scripter resolution, in my case mine is the one in left 
local x, y = (sx/py), (sy/py) 
  
--Animations 
  
--Using variables 
animation = 0 
function animationsForDX() 
    animation = animation + 1 
    dxDrawRectangle(x/2, y/2, animation, y, tocolor(0,0,0,200)) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, animationsForDX) 
  
--Or using interpolateBetween 
function animationsForDX()   
    local x, y = interpolateBetween ( dx, dy, dx+4, dy+4, 1500, "Linear") 
    dxDrawRectangle(x/2, y/2, dx, dy, tocolor(0,0,0,200)) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, animationsForDX) 

Hope I helped you!
