Panel Paint Overwrite

[Skapocalypse]

Okay so, I have a panel painted that has a dynamic overlay of colors if a certain event happens. However, I want multiple of these panels, so I'd have to do panel.paint = function on each to add unique text/boxes and such. Is it possible to keep drawing the default paint function, then draw on top of that?

Yes, certainly.

[lua]panel.oldpaint = panel.paint
panel.paint = function( )
panel.oldpaint( )
-- Draw your stuff
end[/lua]

Sorry to say, but that doesn't work. Because I'm using self as a variable in the panel's coding =[ So it's getting an index error for self.
