Position problems

[dragonheart79]

So when I run this on my resolution every word is lined up in the right spot, but when someone with a different resolution sees this, the positions of the words are in different places. How do I fix this so the positions are in the same place for everyone.

What's the inQuad command?
You should use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/ScrW]ScrW[/url], [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/ScrH]ScrH[/url], and if you want to avoid calculations - [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/ScreenScale]ScreenScale[/url]

See the 'Scaling' section of this: [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Derma_Basic_Guide[/url]

Shows you a pretty painless way to turn the positions you have 'hardcoded' into positions that will scale with any other resolutions.

Adding to this: If you do go with this way, instead of using 0.xxx with every single number, simply have this line at the top of your code:
[lua]local screenScale = ScrW()/1920 -- Replace 1920 with your screen width[/lua]
Make your panel with regular numbers, and replace every number with [B]number * screenScale[/B]
