Differences from MTA:SA

In MTA:SA

dxDrawRectangle(float startX, float startY, float width, float height, int color = white, bool postGUI = false, bool subPixelPositioning = false)

Returns

true if drawn.

Example

A health bar in the bottom-left corner.

local sw, sh = guiGetScreenSize()
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, function()
    local hp = getElementHealth(localPlayer)
    dxDrawRectangle(30, sh - 60, 204, 18, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 160))
    dxDrawRectangle(32, sh - 58, 2 * hp, 14, tocolor(200, 40, 40))
