Help - Suggestion Making Theatre / TV

[stevensalvaro]

Hello ,

I Want to make my own theatre or TV script , How can i draw my video.mp4 files on GTA World ?

What function i need to make this script ?

[Mann56]

Use dxDrawMaterialLine3D to draw a screen like for theatre, you can screen your video there

To get a video from internet try the browser functions...

[stevensalvaro]

but how to load the video ? may i use dxCreateTexture ?

[Mann56]

Yes you can use textures to create the video on the screen, if you are getting video from internet you can make a browser and put it in the Dx Material Line...

How to set the image resolution ? I got this

[stevensalvaro]

if i move the camera , why the image rotating too ? how to disable rotating ?

[Mann56]

How to set the image resolution ? I got this

You mean the resolution of the material line?

Just set the start and end cords they are vertical though , starting x,y and z is the upper position and ending ones are at the bottom. If i got the question wrong, you can explain it once more. Also make sure the material you are drawing the line with exists, since you are getting that error.

EDIT : Did you read this?

faceTowardX/Y/Z: The position the front of the line should face towards. If this is not set, the camera position is used, so the front of the line faces toward the camera.

set a cord where the screen will force at, if not specified it will move according to the camera.

here is my script , so what to do about face toward to stop rotating ? What should i add on the line of this script ?

  
  
  
local img =   dxCreateTexture( "images/bstatus.png"  ) 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, 
    function()  -- x,y,z, targetx,targety,targetz,texture,width,color 
        dxDrawMaterialLine3D (1757.3798828125, -1665.0810546875, 20.4108648300173,1756.3798828125, -1665.0810546875, 16,img, 2, tocolor(255,255,255,255)) 
    end)

    end) 
  

[stevensalvaro]

it's say front position must face toward , but i can't see 'rotation' on this function , just x,y,z

[Mann56]

Well if you don't mention the faceto arguments the front will be faced to your camera so everytime you move your camera or move yourself it will rotate as well, give in the cords i showed you in the code above and the thing should just face it and not rotate. Rotation is due to movement of your camera.

[stevensalvaro]

so what should i do now ?

[Mann56]

As i told you earlier,

  
local img =   dxCreateTexture( "images/bstatus.png"  ) 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, 
    function()  -- x,y,z, targetx,targety,targetz,texture,width,color 
        dxDrawMaterialLine3D (1757.3798828125, -1665.0810546875, 20.4108648300173,1756.3798828125, -1665.0810546875, 16,img, 2, tocolor(255,255,255,255),posX,posY,posZ )-- the camera will always face these cords 
    end) 
  

posX,posY,posZ

Enter that cord there at which your Material Line will face. That will work.

ah thank you so much , it's working fine now :) ,, btw can i play video with 'dxCreateTexture' function ?

[Mann56]

Glad it helped Yes you can try texture , but i recommend a browser if you are going to play from internet(like most guys do).

[stevensalvaro]

what format does mta support for the video ? mp4 ?

[Mann56]

Well , i think textures don't support videos, you must try shaders, and i have no knowledge of HLSL....

[stevensalvaro]

okay , thank you for your help and your information

[Mann56]

You're welcome
