Resource:Blur box

This resource lets You create simple gaussian blur boxes onClientHUDRender. Using that - You can make your game GUI a bit more fancy.

Overview

It is easy to use, gives a few options to manage blur boxes.

The resource itself adds exported clientside functions:

• float posX, posY: Position in screen space.
• float sizeX, sizeY: Size of the box.
• int colorR,colorG,colorB,colorA: RGBA color (0 - 255).
• bool postGUI: Should the box be drawn before or after MTA GUI elements.

Returns

The function returns the element if set successfully, 'false' otherwise.

destroyBlurBox

setBlurBoxColor

Click to collapse [-]

Client

This function sets blur box color values.

bool exports.blur_box:setBlurBoxColor(element billboardElement,float colorR,colorG,colorB,colorA)

• float colorR,colorG,colorB,colorA: RGBA color (0 - 255).

Returns

The function returns true if set successfully, false otherwise.

setBlurIntensity

Click to collapse [-]

Client

This function sets blur amount for all the blur boxes

bool exports.blur_box:setBlurIntensity(float blurFactor)

Required Arguments

• float blurFactor: Set blur amount for all the blur boxes. (default 0.6)

Returns

The function returns true if set successfully, false otherwise.

setScreenResolutionMultiplier

Click to collapse [-]

Client

This function sets screen relative resolution multiplier for the screenSource

bool exports.blur_box:setScreenResolutionMultiplier(element blurBoxElement, float x,y)

Required Arguments

• element blurBoxElement: A previously declared blurBox element.
• float x,y: Set sampled screen relative resolution multiplier (0-1)

Returns

The function returns true if set successfully, false otherwise.

Examples

local scx, scy = guiGetScreenSize()
local guiWindowElement = nil
local blurBoxElement = nil

addEventHandler( "onClientRender", root,
    function()
		if guiWindowElement and blurBoxElement then
			local xPos, yPos = guiGetPosition ( guiWindowElement , false )
			local xSize, ySize = guiGetSize ( guiWindowElement , false )
			exports.blur_box:setBlurBoxPosition( blurBoxElement, xPos, yPos )
			exports.blur_box:setBlurBoxSize( blurBoxElement, xSize, ySize )		
		end
	end
,true ,"high-3" )	

addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement( getThisResource()),
function()
	guiWindowElement = guiCreateWindow ( scx/2-scy/4, scy/2 - scy/4, scy/2, scy/2, "BlurBox test", false )
	guiWindowSetMovable ( guiWindowElement, true )
	guiWindowSetSizable ( guiWindowElement, true )
	guiSetAlpha ( guiWindowElement, 0.3 )
	blurBoxElement = exports.blur_box:createBlurBox( scx/2-scy/4, scy/2 - scy/4, scy/2, scy/2, 255, 255, 255, 255, false )
	--exports.blur_box:setBlurBoxColor( blurBoxElement, 255, 100, 100, 255)
	exports.blur_box:setScreenResolutionMultiplier( 0.5, 0.5 )
end
)

addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStop", getResourceRootElement( getThisResource()),
function()
	destroyElement( guiWindowElement )
	blurBoxElement = not exports.blur_box:destroyBlurBox( blurBoxElement )
end
)

This creates a blur box and attaches it to a created window element.

Of course when you want to use these functions in your resources you have to include the blur_box resource in meta.
