How to use scaleforms!

[throwarray]

@Demonen

-- local scaleform_handle = ...
-- local vehicle = ...

local camRot = GetGameplayCamRot()
local pos = GetEntityCoords(vehicle)
local min, max = GetModelDimensions(GetEntityModel(vehicle), {}, {}) 

-- Draw scaleform above vehicle and facing the player
DrawScaleformMovie_3dNonAdditive(
	scaleform_handle, --scaleform
	pos.x, pos.y, 2.25 + pos.z + max.z, --position
	0, 0, -camRot.z, -- rotation
	2.0, -- unk
	1.0, --sharpness
	1.0, -- unk,
	10.0, 4.5, 0, -- draw scale
	0 -- unk
)

Also just dumping this here for whoever finds it useful, coords for michaels living room projector…

-- Breaking news scaleform on projector
local s_news = LoadScaleForm('breaking_news')
PushScaleformMovieFunction(s_news, "SHOW_STATIC")
PushScaleformMovieFunctionParameterInt(1)
PopScaleformMovieFunctionVoid()
DrawScaleformMovie_3dNonAdditive(
 	s_news, --scaleform
 	-800.158, 173.603, 74.38,
 	0.0, 0.0, 69.13,
 	1.0, 1.0, 1.0,
 	3.163, 1.783, 1.0,
 	2
)

For those interested in making their own scaleforms; You can grab COH2 tools through steam

COH2?

[Demonen]

Absolutely great, thanks.
Is this stuff per frame, or what?

[throwarray]

@Demonen DrawScaleformMovie_3dNonAdditive should be called every frame, yes.

Anyone know the scaleform for the “Takedown” bar in lspdfr?

@Scott_UK

Anyone know the scaleform for the “Takedown” bar in lspdfr?

NativeUI uses this (not a scaleform):

Sprite.Draw("timerbars", "all_black_bg", (int)res.Width - safe.X - 298, (int)res.Height - safe.Y - (40 + (4 * interval)), 300, 37, 0f, Color.FromArgb(180, 255, 255, 255));

Which uses sprites found in

GTA V/update/update.rpf/x64/textures/script_txds.rpf/timerbars.ytd/

Ahh ok. Thanks a lot.

Is it possible to draw multiples of the same scaleform at the same time? RequestScaleForm seems to return the same handle every time.

[Help] Statistics bar scaleform / ui

I’m currently creating a race script and in the vehicle selection menu im looking to add the little stats box like this: [image] I found this scaleform: (mp_car_stats_01) [image] But that’s not really what i’m looking for… I don’t want the top two bits or the arrow at the bottom, just the bars and labels. Does anyone else know what scaleform that is / how to generate those bars? Thanks

[throwarray]

I’m not sure it’s possible. You’ll notice scaleforms such as mp_car_stats which have multiple copies. I’d tried before to just set the scaleform options multiple times per frame but that only works with a wait(0) which causes flickering.

As a work around; You can copy the gfx file and stream it.

with the breaking news scaleform , how the eff do i actually get the top ticker to work with different kinds of messages? you know , so it actually “ticks” between them xD
