Recommended Posts

if getElementData( localPlayer,"duty_admin" )  == 1  then
   --dxDrawImage(ax,ay,iconH,iconH,"images/hud/adm_on.png")
   dxDrawImage(1645, 500, 64, 64, "images/hud/adm_on.png")
   table.insert(tooltips, "adminonduty")

Hello guys, so i`m learning slowly a lot of stuff when u answer my questions, now i got a problem, a bigger one i think, i draw that image but it shows different on other resolutions, can u please tell me how to do it or show me an example because i`m a beginner.. i tried following other scaling on all resolutions but i think they are no use, i want that icon basically to stand in the right middle screen..

-- Okay, so you have to pick a base resolution, you should choose what you use.
local baseWidth, baseHeight = 1920, 1080 -- I pick fullhd
-- We'll need the current resolution
local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() -- imageine this is 1366x768 now
-- and now we have to calculate the difference ratio between the base- and current resolution
local xDiffRatio, yDiffRatio = screenWidth/baseWidth, screenHeight/baseHeight -- this will be: (1920/1366=1.40556) and (1080/768=1.40625)
-- then we have to multiply every (X-coordinate and Width with 'xDiffRatio') and every (Y-coordinate and Height with 'yDiffRatio') -> this will resize everything (ofcourse if base- and current resolution is equals, then it doesn't change)


-- now draw the image
local imageX, imageY = 1645, 500
local imageWidth, imageHeight = 64, 64
-- miltiply values with the right ratio
dxDrawImage(imageX*xDiffRatio, imageY*yDiffRatio, imageWidth*xDiffRatio, imageHeight*yDiffRatio, "images/hud/adm_on.png")


-- NOTE: you can make your life easier if you create a "custom" dxDrawImage event what do the math for you, call it 'myDrawImage'
function myDrawImage(x, y, width, height, ...) -- three dot means (...) every parameter after 4th, this is a "magic parameter"
    dxDrawImage(x*xDiffRatio, y*yDiffRatio, width*xDiffRatio, height*yDiffRatio, ...) -- and don't forget the dots
end
-- and now you can use your new function
myDrawImage(imageX, imageY, imageWidth, imageHeight, "images/hud/adm_on.png")

Thank you so much Patrick, you helped me again a lot!! You are the best :D❤️ 

Of course this code doesn't handle 4:3 resolutions like 800x600, and HUDs will be stretched.
You can find solution for that in the tutorial what srslyyyy linked above.
