Best way to draw VGUI on HUD?

[whitestar]

Hello, I wanted to draw a RichText on the HUD, which text gets changed on certain stuff happening(obvious), but whats the best way to draw it? I Know not HUDPaint, since its a think hook, but which hook then, or no hook at all, just create it? Also, how do I notice which hook is a think hook? (I could run print() on each hooks obviously, but there are a bit of too much hooks :p)

Thanks for the answer!

You create your vgui element, set it to be painted manually, then call PaintManual from HUDPaint

Same thing for doing 3d vgui, call PaintManual inside of cam. Start3D

what is paintmanual exactly for? like some uses? - cant I just add text to the RichText element?
