Is it possible to align the text in the hud message to the right?

I want to make a hud message that displays text from a variable (the text can vary from 1 to 20+ chars) but keep it on the left side of the screen.

I've tried putting negative values for the X coordinates but it's the same.

You can use Generators > Hudmessage Generator for that...
Using a variable will make it a must to use format or formatex.

new VARIABLE
formatex(szTemp, charsmax(szTemp), "YOUR TEXT HERE", VARIABLE)
set_hudmessage(...)
show_hudmessage(id, VARIABLE)

No.

@OP: I don't think it's possible. You could try counting the characters in the message string and somehow set the position from that, though it will probably not work on different resolutions and will cause problems if the characters width isn't the same (Courier font has this for example), which probably is not.

Thanks for your answer. I did that and like you said, the characters' width, resolutions, fonts do have an effect on the position but I think it worked out quite well:

PHP Code:

    new Float:xcord
    new len = strlen(text0)
    for(new b = 0; b < len; b++) {
        xcord+= 0.0155
        if(xcord > 0.45)
            break
    }
    xcord = 0.46 - xcord 


It's not perfect but it does the job.
