Scale 3dIcons?

[froggyluv 2136]

Is there a way so that 3d Icons (custom) such as ones over as units head scale in size according to distance? As it is they look huge and block a unit when far away and then seem to scale down or look proper when you approach

Have a look at the code in TPW HUD mate, this does what you describe. It is non trivial though.

Eastiest way is to use a linearConversion on the icon width and height based off of distance.

All depends on a few things like..

is there a max distance you should see an icon.

Is there a min size an icon should be

etc.

_minSize = 0.25;
_furthestDistance = 20;
_iconSize = linearConversion[ 0, _furthestDistance, player distance2D _target, 1, _minSize, true ];

Then just plug the _iconSize into the drawIcon3D's width and height parameters.

Here when the player is 0 meters away from the target the icon is size 1.

As the player moves away from the target the icon goes down to a minimum of 0.25 at 20 meters.

True just makes it so no matter how far the distance is it will always be a min icon scale of 0.25.

Just find some values you like.
