Interrupted line

[DarkByte]

Is there any way to make an interrupted line?

[Captain Cody]

Please explain.

Dotted line??

If so I'll have a function for you in a bit.

Quick one, doesn't take into account a lot of things (really not to sure if it works..) but here..

  
  
Stuff = {} 
  
width = 100 -- "Replace" 
height = 10 -- "Replace" 
amountOfDots = 50 -- "Replace"  
spacing = 2 -- "Replace" 
widthOfDash = 2 -- "Replace" 
  
startPos = 0 
startPos2 = 0  
  
function prepStuff () -- PrepTheTables 
current = 0 
currentb = widthOfDash 
for i=0,amountOfDots do 
table.insert(Stuff,{current,currentb}) 
if i == currentb + spacing then 
current = i  
currentb = i+ widthOfDash 
end 
end 
end 
  
prepStuff () 
  
function drawThem() 
for i,v in pairs(Stuff) do 
local start = v[1] 
local tend = v[2] 
  
dxDrawLine(startPos+v[1],startPos2,v[1]+v[2],height,tocolor(0,0,0,0)) -- Swap v[1] to startPos2 for vertical 
end 
end

Doesn't work.

Check debug. Make sure the values are right etc.

[DarkByte]

Nothing in debug..

Well as I said it was just an example. and probably doesn't work. Build you code off of this. If you cannot I'll get in SA later and make something that actually works.

I'm using a code which draws the circle with dots, I analyzed it and can't understand how to do it with a line.

function dxDrawCircle( posX, posY, radius, width, angleAmount, startAngle, stopAngle, color, postGUI ) 
    if ( type( posX ) ~= "number" ) or ( type( posY ) ~= "number" ) then 
        return false 
    end 
  
    local function clamp( val, lower, upper ) 
        if ( lower > upper ) then lower, upper = upper, lower end 
        return math.max( lower, math.min( upper, val ) ) 
    end 
  
    radius = type( radius ) == "number" and radius or 50 
    width = type( width ) == "number" and width or 5 
    angleAmount = type( angleAmount ) == "number" and angleAmount or 1 
    startAngle = clamp( type( startAngle ) == "number" and startAngle or 0, 0, 360 ) 
    stopAngle = clamp( type( stopAngle ) == "number" and stopAngle or 360, 0, 360 ) 
    color = color or tocolor( 255, 255, 255, 200 ) 
    postGUI = type( postGUI ) == "boolean" and postGUI or false 
  
    if ( stopAngle < startAngle ) then 
        local tempAngle = stopAngle 
        stopAngle = startAngle 
        startAngle = tempAngle 
    end 
  
    for i = startAngle, stopAngle, angleAmount do 
        local startX = math.cos( math.rad( i ) ) * ( radius - width ) 
        local startY = math.sin( math.rad( i ) ) * ( radius - width ) 
        local endX = math.cos( math.rad( i ) ) * ( radius + width ) 
        local endY = math.sin( math.rad( i ) ) * ( radius + width ) 
  
        dxDrawLine( startX + posX, startY + posY, endX + posX, endY + posY, color, width, postGUI ) 
    end 
  
    return true 
end 

EDIT: The angle amount
