[HELP] Make guiCreateWindow scale to all resolutions

[Backsage]

Well, I am trying to create a window and I want it to scale properly on all resolutions. I tried using TEDERI's method, but it won't scale properly. I tried previewing it in different resolutions, but it doesn't scale.

I'll show you an example

local sW, sH = guiGetScreenSize() 
local sx, sy = sW/1920, sH/1080 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, function ( ) 
    dxCreateRectangle ( sW*0.5 - 50*sx, sH*0.5 - 50*sy, 100*sx, 100*sy, tocolor ( 255, 0, 0 ), true ) 
end ) 

This rectangle will have the same scale in every resolution.

But in your code:

sW*0.5-481/2 

sW*0.5 is good, but 481/2 will be different in every resolution.

local sW, sH = guiGetScreenSize() 
local sx, sy = sW/1920, sH/1080 
GUIEditor.window[1] = guiCreateWindow(sW*0.5-481/2*sx, sH*0.5-412/2*sy, 481*sy, 412*sy, "", false) 

This will solve your problem

Where did you get 1920 and 1080? I know it's a resolution, but why you chose those numbers? I tried pasting the code into gui editor, but nothing appeared.

Its my own resolution.

Use your own resolution.

So if you want to create an element im the middle of the screen this might help you

  
local screenW, screenH = guiGetScreenSize() 
local elemW, elemH = 300,400 --Your element width and height  
  
function testWindow() 
      local theWindow = guiCreateWindow( (screenW - elemW)/2,(screenH-elemH)/2,elemW,elemH,"Test") 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart, getRootElement(),testWindow) 
  
  
 

The formula to make a GUI elem in the middle of the screen is

  
guiCreate(yourElement)( (screenWidth - elementWidth)/2,(screenHeight - elementHeight)/2,screenWidth,screenHeight,...)

for gui, you can use this useful function

centerWindow

for gui, you can use this useful function

centerWindow

Is the thing i said made in a function

All this does is center it to the screen. I'm talking about making it actually scale based on the resolution. How is it that this only works when using relative values, but not for absolute values? If I use the relative argument, I have to do that on every single GUI element that's on the window, including the window, so that it'll scale properly. I can't just do it for the window or else the other GUI elements will be too big. I hope you understand what I mean.
