That line will always be one pixel in size, you'll have to make it shorter and longer depending on the distance (vec_dist). my gameDev Blog

Thanks SchokoKeks,

I've made a basic bracket using line, scaled for range and it looks OK:

This is the code I used:

Code:

ENTITY* imp_unit;
VECTOR temp;
var tgt_dist;

for( i=1; i < UNIT_DATA_MAXUNITS; i++)
{
	imp_unit = unit_data[i][UNIT_DATA_POINTER];
	vec_set(temp.x,imp_unit.x);
        if (NULL != vec_to_screen(temp,camera)) // if visible on screen
   	{
     		tgt_dist = vec_dist(camera.x,imp_unit.x);
   	
   		draw_line(vector(temp.x-32768/tgt_dist, temp.y-4096/tgt_dist, 0), NULL, 40);
   		draw_line(vector(temp.x-32768/tgt_dist, temp.y+4096/tgt_dist, 0), vector(255,255,255), 40);
   		draw_line(vector(temp.x+32768/tgt_dist, temp.y+4096/tgt_dist, 0), vector(255,255,255), 40);
   		draw_line(vector(temp.x+32768/tgt_dist, temp.y-4096/tgt_dist, 0), vector(255,255,255), 40);
   		
 	 }
}

But how would the mathematical term be to calculate the correct scale for the pannel? What do i need? Height and width of the model, camera distance, height and width of the pannelbmap? and how to calculate the correct scale for the bmap? Assuming that the original of the bmap has the scale 1, how do i calculate the 0.xxx scale to fit for the model? Hope u know what i wanna say. Greetings Mike
