Method:gui-element:setSize(...)

Syntax

bool guiSetSize ( gui-element guiElement, float width, float height, [ bool relative = false ] )

Required arguments

guiElement: The GUI element whose visibility is to be changed.
width: The desired width setting for the gui element.
height: The desired height setting for the gui element.

Optional arguments

Note: when using optional arguments, you might need to supply all arguments before the one you wish to use.

relative (default: false): This is whether sizes and positioning are relative. If this is true, then all x, y, width and height floats must be between 0 and 1, representing sizes relative to the parent.

Returns

Returns true if the gui element's size was set successfully, false otherwise.

bool: result

Code Examples

client

This example creates a gui window and changes the x and y width of the window every 2 seconds.

local myWindow

function changeWindowSize()
    -- Called by the timer every 2 seconds. It decides an x and y width randomly between .1 and .5
    guiSetSize(myWindow, (math.random(10, 50) / 100), (math.random(10, 50) / 100), true)
end

-- Create a gui window called 'myWindow'
myWindow = guiCreateWindow(0.3, 0.3, 0.5, 0.60, "GUI window title", true)
-- Set a timer to change the window's size every 2 seconds, infinite times
setTimer(changeWindowSize, 2000, 0)
