Limit draw size to texture

[Overkillz]

Hello dear community, I would like to ask if there is a way to limit the draw size to a texture ?

What do I mean, well, I have a texture (A rectangle with rounded corners)

Spoiler

well, I want to create an animation. A circle that becomes to a rectangle with BORDER CORNERS

I think I luckily did this script like 4 years ago, but no idea how I did it (I know trat it sounds absurd.)

If im not wrong, I used a shader, and I think it was the HUD Mask Shader: https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/files/shaders/shader_hud_mask.zip

I would like to get any tip or suggestion to start to code the animation, but Im fully stuck.

All the prerequesites were made like creating the RT, restore in case of minimzeing ...etc

Thanks for reading, best regards.

This rectangle exist out of 7 parts.

- 4 corners

- 1 big rectangle, the middle, from left to right

- 2 small rectangles, top and bottom

 

You can animate the big rectangle it's width and height. (+ Position, if not animated from left-top)

The 2 small rectangles, their width and position.

And the corners, their position.

 

But make sure to align the components perfectly with the pixels on the screen. Half pixels might cause artifacts.

Thanks for your suggestion, but, Im not going to reach the effect that Im looking for cuz I think the effect will be notable and not fancy while reaching the corners and the effect im looking for is that a circle over draw the "Rounded rectangle"

I think i have explained pretty bad so I just made a quicky image to take it as reference. As you can see, some parts of the circle already left the rectangle (It won't be visible).

Otherwise, is there a way to load .svg on MTA ?

Thanks in advance, best regards.

In the browser yes.
