PC GTA IV ScriptHook mod menu help

ClonkAndre · Jan 3, 2019

Hello Guys!
I am new in this Forum and i have a Question about GTA IV creating a Mod Menu.

I'am using Visual Studio 2013 to create a Mod Menu and i almost finished the Trainer but i have 1 big Problem!

When i try to add the Menu Items the Items overlapps itself :/

You see?

It schould be like that:

lol0
lol1
lol2
lol3
lol4
lol5

Here is my Code: (vb.net)

Code:

Private avatext(5) As String
Public Sub New()
  avatext(0) = "lol0"
  avatext(1) = "lol1"
  avatext(2) = "lol2"
  avatext(3) = "lol3"
  avatext(4) = "lol4"
  avatext(5) = "lol5"
End Sub

Private Sub GTAIV_TEST_MENU2_PerFrameDrawing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GTA.GraphicsEventArgs) Handles MyBase.PerFrameDrawing
  Dim num As Integer = 0
  Dim topItem As UShort = PtopItem

  If menuOpen Then
  'While CInt(topItem) <= CInt(PtopItem) + 30 AndAlso CInt(topItem) < Me.avatext.Length
  '  e.Graphics.DrawText(avatext(CInt(topItem)), 20.0F, 30.0F, If(CInt(PtopItem) = CInt(Me.selectedItem), Me.selectedItemColor, Me.defaultItemColor))
  '  topItem += 1
  'End While

  For Each Element As String In avatext
  e.Graphics.DrawText(Element, 10, 10 + 30, If(CInt(topItem) = CInt(Me.selectedItem), Me.selectedItemColor, Me.defaultItemColor))
  Next
  End If
End Sub

DrawText has X and Y coordinate parameters. Right now you are drawing each on the same place.

You want a column of items so your X should stay the same value for each item, but your Y needs to increase for every item. I don't know much about that garbage VisualBasic language, but I can give you an example in C:

Code:

float x = 20.0f;
float y = 20.0f;
float spacing = 0.04f; // change this to increase space between each item
for (int i = 0; i < item_count; i++)
{
    // set up text formatting here
    DISPLAY_TEXT_WITH_LITERAL_STRING(x, y + (i * spacing), "STRING", "Menu Item Text");
}

If you need to use .NET, C# is at least a little better. Or C++ ScriptHook if you want to be a champion.

Much thanks to you, it's working now!
