Knower: /* isCursorOnElement */ new section

Hi everyone! 👋

My name is Knower, and I am a professional MTA programmer since 2018. I am here today to share my knowledge and help the community grow.

I am fully proficient in Lua, and I also have strong skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I specialize in creating interactive and polished interfaces using DX, DGS, and HTML GUIs.

Throughout the years, I have worked on numerous systems, scripts, and custom features for MTA, mastering both client-side and server-side programming.

Being Arabic, I take pride in contributing to the global MTA community while bringing a unique perspective and creativity.

My goal here is to provide clear, professional, and high-quality guidance to everyone, from beginners to advanced developers. I hope my experience can help you learn faster, build better scripts, and enjoy coding in MTA.

Feel free to ask any questions—I’m here to help! 💻✨

'''Description:'''
This function is used in GUI / DX to create interactive buttons or effects in a professional way.
It allows you to make elements like buttons, rectangles, or any selectable area responsive to the player's cursor.
You can also add many enhancements to make the appearance of the button or element look visually appealing and professional.
---

=== Function ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">

function isCursorOnElement( posX, posY, width, height )

if isCursorShowing( ) then

local mouseX, mouseY = getCursorPosition( )

local clientW, clientH = guiGetScreenSize( )

local mouseX, mouseY = mouseX * clientW, mouseY * clientH

if ( mouseX > posX and mouseX < ( posX + width ) and mouseY > posY and mouseY < ( posY + height ) ) then

return true

end

end

return false

end

</syntaxhighlight>

---

=== Example Usage ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
-- Example: Interactive button on screen

local SelectBut = 1 -- Stores the button selected by player
local x, y, w, h = 100, 100, 150, 50 -- Element position and size

if isCursorOnElement(x, y, w, h) then
-- Cursor is on the element → full alpha
dxDrawImage(x, y, w, h, "img.png", 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255, 254, 254, 255), false)
else
if SelectBut == 1 then
-- Cursor is not on the element but already selected → full alpha
dxDrawImage(x, y, w, h, "img.png", 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255, 254, 254, 255), false)
else
-- Cursor is not on the element and not selected → reduce alpha
dxDrawImage(x, y, w, h, "img.png", 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255, 254, 254, 50), false)
end
end
</syntaxhighlight>

---

===Explanation ===
* '''isCursorOnElement(posX, posY, width, height)''' Function to check cursor position relative to an element

---

=== Notes===
* This function is safe for Client-Side only and will not affect other players.
* GUI/DX Example can be adapted for multiple buttons or GUI elements easily.
