Just wondering.

[osrs]

Take a look at this code:

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE



if (created || timeout) {

  this.h=textheight(.6,Courier New,b);

  showtext 200,screenwidth-100,screenheight-this.h,Courier New,b,X:#v(playerx) Y: #v(playery);

  changeimgcolors 200,1,1,1,1;

  changeimgzoom 200,.6;

  changeimgvis 200,4;

  message #v(this.h);

  timeout = .05;

}

---

I was testing textheight() yesterday,i understand how it work etc,but i can't figure out how the value is set,i mean,this.h returns 14,so what i want to know is how the calcule was made.

textheight(zoom,font,style) calculates
the height of text displayed with the
given zoom factor, font name and style;

I read that at newfeatures,so,each font name and style has a determined value?

pixels? fontsize?

Did you even ask a question, osrs? You need
more than a question mark to make something
a question. I don't even know what you are
asking .

Explain me why that variable is equal to 14.
That's what i wanna know,i didn't get how the calculation is done..

[Thought]

It probably checks all characters available to the font and takes the largest height.

[Projectshifter]

Yes, it would do the largest height. But it just checks what it's written/drawn and sees how tall it is... it's not all that hard =x
Think about it, triggeraction works, but you don't know HOW other than that Stefan coded it in... does it really matter HOW opposed to it's actual use?

That's very unlikely.

[Projectshifter]

Nah, it's possible, depending no HOW you go about showing things... I dunno about Delphi... but it could set vars and draw the image the size of the vars... does it really matter HOW or WHY it works though as long as we both know it works?

You said that it would draw the text and then see how big the rendered text is. That would be stupid. It's more likely that the height of the font's surface is modified by zoom parameters etc and outputted directly.

Obviously it matters to the creator of the thread. Are you entitled to tell him not to care?

HONESTLY, why does everything lately have to be so hostile with you? to find out, you'd have to ask Stefan, but I'm merely stating that it doesn't change anything. That's like asking some random person "Do you live in an urban area or suburban area?" If you never go to that persons house, does it matter all that much? It doesn't change anything in your universe =x

I don't think they were fighting as much as Kaim was pointing out the flaws in PS's thinking, which is always fun to do. PS thinks he knows a lot more than he really does. *thinks back to PS and mine's "debate" about coding standards earlier*

So what? So he's not allowed to ask? Sometimes people want to know things just out of curiosity.

Thanks Zega, glad to know my old friends are always on me side...

Heh, sorry that I agree with Kaim over you....I'm also sorry you were acting like a nut in Delt's RC yesterday....I'm also sorry you blocked me on aim because I proved you wrong about coding standards.
