DgsCreateCustomRenderer

From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This function creates a custom renderer that can be used in any texture required property of dgs elements, which is useful for creating custom DGS plugins.

Notice: The environment of renderFunction is inside DGS. You have to use dgsSetProperty if you want to pass something into the renderFunction.

Syntax

element dgsCreateCustomRenderer( [ string renderFunction ] )

Optional Arguments

  • renderFunction: A string of lua code which will be the new renderer function of the custom renderer.
    • Predefined Variable of renderFunction: Determined by dxDrawType. For detail, see dxDrawImage or dxDrawText
    • Global:
      • dxDrawType: A string indicates what kind of drawing, can be "image" or "text".
    • Passed By Function:
    • When dxDrawType is "image":
      • posX: Absolute X position of the renderer's bounding box.
      • posY: Absolute Y position of the renderer's bounding box.
      • width: Absolute width of the renderer's bounding box.
      • height: Absolute height of the renderer's bounding box.
      • self: The custom renderer itself.
      • rotation: The rotation of renderer's bounding box.
      • rotationCenterOffsetX: The rotation center offset x of renderer's bounding box.
      • rotationCenterOffsetY: The rotation center offset x of renderer's bounding box.
      • color: The color to be applied.
      • postGUI: Whether the dx draw is require postGUI
    • When dxDrawType is "text":
      • self: The custom renderer itself.
      • leftX: the absolute X coordinate of the top left corner of the text
      • topY: the absolute Y coordinate of the top left corner of the text
      • rightX: the absolute X coordinate of the right side of the text bounding box. Used for text aligning, clipping and word breaking.
      • bottomY: the absolute Y coordinate of the bottom side of the text bounding box. Used for text aligning, clipping and word breaking.
      • color: the color of the text, a value produced by tocolor or 0xAARRGGBB (AA = alpha, RR = red, GG = green, BB = blue).
      • scale: the size of the text.scale: can (optionally) be specified as two floats. i.e. scaleX, scaleY
      • font: Either a custom DX font element or the name of a built-in DX font: Note: Some fonts are incompatible with certain languages such as Arabic.
      • alignX: horizontal alignment of the text within the bounding box. Can be "left", "center" or "right".
      • alignY: vertical alignment of the text within the bounding box. Can be "top", "center" or "bottom".
      • clip: if set to true, the parts of the text that don't fit within the bounding box will be cut off.
      • wordBreak: if set to true, the text will wrap to a new line whenever it reaches the right side of the bounding box. If false, the text will always be completely on one line.
      • postGUI: A bool representing whether the text should be drawn on top of or behind any ingame GUI (rendered by CEGUI).
      • colorCoded: Set to true to enable embedded #FFFFFF color codes. Note: clip and wordBreak are forced false if this is set.
      • subPixelPositioning: A bool representing whether the text can be positioned sub-pixel-ly. Looks nicer for moving/scaling animations.
      • fRotation: Rotation
      • fRotationCenterX: Rotation Origin X
      • fRotationCenterY: Rotation Origin Y
      • fLineSpacing: Distance in pixels between the lines of text, this can be a negative number, works only when colorCoded is set to true

Returns

Returns a dgs-dxcustomrenderer element if successfully, false otherwise

Example

DGS = exports.dgs
local customRenderer = DGS:dgsCreateCustomRenderer([[
	local texture = dgsGetProperty(self,"customTexture")
	dxDrawImage(posX,posY,width,height,texture,rotation,rotationCenterOffsetX,rotationCenterOffsetY,color,postGUI)
	dxDrawImage(posX-width,posY-height,width,height,texture,rotation,rotationCenterOffsetX,rotationCenterOffsetY,color,postGUI)
]] )
local tex = dxCreateTexture("exampleTexture.png") --Create a texture
local image = DGS:dgsCreateImage(300,300,200,200,customRenderer,false) --Apply the custom renderer
DGS:dgsSetProperty(customRenderer,"customTexture",tex) --Make a reference for the texture that can be used in the render function.
DGS:dgsAttachToAutoDestroy(tex,image) --The texture will be destroyed when the image destroys
DGS:dgsAttachToAutoDestroy(customRenderer,image) --The custom renderer will be destroyed when the image destroys

setTimer(function()
	destroyElement(image)
end,10000,1)
