Hey, I just noticed today that in other resolutions that my VGUI's are off screen. Is there a way to make a VGUI center in all screens? Or, just make it in the same position on all screens. Thanks.
-snip-
Def use the post below me!
panel:SetSize( ... )
panel:Center( )
Where ... is the width and height.
or you could do
[lua]
local w = ScrW() / 2
local h = ScrH() / 2
panel:SetPos(w-200, h-100)
[/lua]
and all you do to get the subtracted value is take how wide your panel is divided by 2 so lets say its
panel:SetSize(400,200)
then it would be SetPos(w-200, h-100)
although the one above me is more simple, this lets you center it only on the X or a Y axis, so you can have it at the top centered.
Why not just use panel:Center() like Kogitsune said and finiish with it?
because like i said, this lets you center only on the X or the Y axis or both...more choices available in case he wanted it centered top, or centered left.
Thanks everyone but, it doesn't work. Ok, can someone please explain to me how to make a HUD at the bottom left of a screen, for ALL resolutions. So for a resolution for like, 1440x900, or 1280x768, or any of the others. Also, make sure it is in the same position if the player has his GMod open in any resolution in full screen or in a window. Thanks.
If you wanted something to be 30px off the left hand side and 100px off of the bottom, your positioning would look like this:
[code]panel:SetPos( 30, ScrW() - 100 )[/code]

Ok. That is like something I have been using, but it is not in the same spot in all resolutions. In one, it will be fine, but in another it would be like half off or closer to the middle. I will try it right now.
EDIT:Didn't even showup.
That position is positioned absolutely in the sense that it's always 30 px from the left and 100px from the bottom but it's positioned relatively in the sense that it's always from the bottom. It's possible that if you're setting your width/height according to the screen's dimensions that it will be off - in that case, your panel should be positioned relatively as well.

Could my monitor being bigger than what I set the GMod resolution at be causing this problem?
Use ScrW()/1000*? and ScrH()/1000*? to place it on a 1000^2 grid.

And i believe it's from top left.

That is what I have been using, and it still doesn't work. In one resolution, it will be fine, and in another it will be somewhere else on the screen...
The Width and Height of the box should also be scaled.
[QUOTE=yoBrelliKX;20871092]The Width and Height of the box should also be scaled.[/QUOTE]
So you mean like GetTall and GetWide?
Like:
X = ScrW()/1000*250
Y = X
W = ScrW()/1000*500
H = W

did you really just copy and paste the wiki?
Ok, now this. Can someone help me place a HUD in the bottom center, so it will be the same on all screens? I got the VGUI's to be the same on all screens, now I want it to be with the HUD. Thanks.
ScrH() - the height of your HUD will place it exactly at the bottom.
[QUOTE=Crazy Quebec;20934861]ScrH() - the height of your HUD will place it exactly at the bottom.[/QUOTE]
Ok, how would I make it go higher up? But be the same on all screens. And then the same with width.
Use fractions of ScrW() and ScrH().
Or position everything as if it were on a 640x480 moniter and [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=G.ScreenScale]G.ScreenScale [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b] it.
[QUOTE=Crazy Quebec;20944088]Use fractions of ScrW() and ScrH().[/QUOTE]
I do use fractions and stuff, and it is not the same on each screen.
ScrW() - 200
for a HUD that is 200 px wide.
If it's not on the left hand of the screen on all resolutions, you coded it wrong.

I believe that takes the screen width, and places the hud 200 pixels across.

Are we still talking about this? If so
panel:Center()
panel.y = ScrH() - panel:GetTall()
and the code disseminate posted makes the hud appear at 200 pixels less than all the way to the right of the screen. If you already knew that, I apologize, but your sentence didn't make sense.

No, I got the vgui's all good. But now the HUD is where I am having problems. In one screen, it's fine, but in another it's not in the same pos, or cut off a little.
