Overriding hud?

[mattymoo142]

Hi, I want to override the hud in the gm I use, how can I do this?

[Mijyuoon]

At least tell us what gamemode and what you want to override the HUD with.

[mattymoo142]

It is F2S: Stronghold

and I want to replace it with a hud on the workshop.

I didn't tell you because I thought the method would apply to all hud's

Overwrite GM:HUDPaint

This is the code I have so far:

local hide = {
	CHudHealth = true,
	CHudAmmo = true,
}

self.BaseClass:HUDPaint()
hook.Add( "HUDShouldDraw", "HideHUD", function()

	if ( hide[ name ] ) then return false end

end)

local hide = {
	CHudHealth = true,
	CHudBattery = true,
}

hook.Add( "HUDShouldDraw", "HideHUD", function( name )
	if ( hide[ name ] ) then return false end

	-- Don't return anything here, it may break other addons that rely on this hook.
end )

is better. That will overwrite the ugly default hud and then you can get working. Put that in cl_init.lua or whatever hud file you're using.

Thankyou, but I am unable to test it at the moment as I keep getting a really strange error with my gamemode, I have added custom weapons to it, it worked great, then I restarted the server, it still works for everyone else but I get the following error:
