Distance from player to (next) checkpoint etc.

Yea I noticed  the size is nil, but why

Did you replace the getAll function with mine?

Well, I replaced everything with yours.

It works fine for me.

Got it to show like this but if on some cps it indeed shows close to 0 meters when I'm infront of them, on larger ones it still shows noticably bigger number

--http://lua-users.org/wiki/FormattingNumbers
function round(val, decimal)
  if (decimal) then
    return math.floor( (val * 10^decimal) + 0.5) / (10^decimal)
  else
    return math.floor(val+0.5)
  end
end

local sx_, sy_ = guiGetScreenSize ( )
local sx, sy = sx_/1440, sy_/900

function distanceFromPlayerToCheckpoint(player, i)
    g_Checkpoints = getAll("checkpoint")
	local checkpoint = g_Checkpoints[getElementData(player, "race.checkpoint")]
	if checkpoint == nil then
		return false
	end
	local x, y, z = getElementPosition(player)
	for i, v in ipairs(checkpoint) do
		outputChatBox(unpack(v))
	end
	return getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(x, y, z, unpack(checkpoint.position)), unpack(checkpoint.size)
end

function getAll(name)
	local result = {}
	for i,element in ipairs(getElementsByType(name)) do
		result[i] = {}
		result[i].id = getElementID(element) or i
		local position = {
					tonumber(getElementData(element,"posX")),
					tonumber(getElementData(element,"posY")),
					tonumber(getElementData(element,"posZ"))
				}
		local size = {
					tonumber(getElementData(element, "size"))
				}
		result[i].position = position;
		result[i].size = size;
 	end
	return result
end

function draw() 
	local distance, size = distanceFromPlayerToCheckpoint(localPlayer)
	if distance and size then
    dxDrawText(distance-size.." m to next checkpoint", sx_ * 0.8734, sy_ * 0.2009, sx_ * 0.9510, sy_ * 0.2259, tocolor(254, 254, 34, 255), 1*sy, "default-bold", "center", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
	end
end
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, draw)

Also I can't seem to round the number.

math.floor( distance-size ) (?

 thanks, never knew I can use that instead of the 'round' function :v

On normal sized cps (not huge) it says 4m when I'm infront of them (that's ok) but on bigger cps it says 20m, when I am literally infront of it. It is better than before though so thanks people

ok......some huge cps are fine, on other big ones it says not 4 but 20m when i am infront of it hmm

20 m when you're infront of it? Can you send me a screenshot? It works perfectly for me whether the size is big or small.

But strange thing is that on most maps it's fine, but on some like this one it isn't.

That's actually GTA 16 meters ;D
