odd text size glitch

[Wavie]

when I reach zero health, the "drawLine" is moved on the x axis. the drawLine's x position is based off of the health text's width... here's the code:

surface.CreateFont("CustomHUDFont", {
	font = "Arial",
	size = 13,
	weight = 500
})

local function drawOutlinedRect(x, y, w, h, color1, color2)
	surface.SetDrawColor(color1)
	surface.DrawRect(x + 1, y + 1, w - 2, h - 2)
	surface.SetDrawColor(color2)
	surface.DrawOutlinedRect(x, y, w, h)
end

local function drawLine(startx, starty, endx, endy, color)
	surface.SetDrawColor(color)
	surface.DrawLine(startx, starty, endx, endy)
end

local function getTextSizeW(text)
	local textWidth, textHeight = surface.GetTextSize(text)

	surface.SetFont("CustomHUDFont")
	return textWidth
end

local function getTextSizeH(text)
	local textWidth, textHeight = surface.GetTextSize(text)

	surface.SetFont("CustomHUDFont")
	return textHeight
end

local function drawText(text, x, y, color)
	surface.SetFont("CustomHUDFont")
	surface.SetTextColor(color.r, color.g, color.b, color.a)
	surface.SetTextPos(x, y)
	surface.DrawText(text)
end

local function hudPaint()
	local Health = LocalPlayer():Health()
	local HealthText = "Health: " .. Health
	local HealthTextSizeW = getTextSizeW(HealthText)
	local HealthTextSizeH = getTextSizeH(HealthText)
	local HealthTextColor
	local PrimaryColor = Color(50, 50, 50, 250)
	local SecondaryColor = Color(175, 175, 175, 255)

	-- Base
	drawOutlinedRect(0, 0, ScrW(), 20, PrimaryColor, SecondaryColor)

	-- Health
	if (Health < 0) then
		Health = 0
	end

	if (Health > 49) then
		HealthTextColor = Color(0, 255, 0, 255)
	elseif (Health > 24) then
		HealthTextColor = Color(255, 255, 0, 255)
	elseif (Health >= 0) then
		HealthTextColor = Color(255, 0, 0, 255)
	end

	drawLine(HealthTextSizeW + 4, 1, HealthTextSizeW + 4, 19, SecondaryColor)
	drawText("Health: ", 2, 3.5, Color(255, 255, 255, 255))
	drawText(Health, getTextSizeW("Health: "), 3.5, HealthTextColor)
end

here's a video of it fucking up in action (you can see where it's fucking up in the upper left hand side):

ps, sorry for the music... I was listening to it and I didn't feel like editing the video

[QUOTE=Moat;52534579]You need to set the font [B]before[/B] you get the text size.

The reason the line is going so far to the right is because you're setting `Health` to 0 after you calculate the width, when the health can actually be -50 or something less than 0. But since you're setting it to 0 after you do the width calculations, the health is shown as 0, but is in reality -80 or something.[/QUOTE]

So I'm guessing I'd do

local function getTextSizeW(text)
	surface.SetFont("CustomHUDFont")

	local textWidth, textHeight = surface.GetTextSize(text)

	return textWidth
end

local function getTextSizeH(text)
	surface.SetFont("CustomHUDFont")

	local textWidth, textHeight = surface.GetTextSize(text)

	return textHeight
end
