really no one knows....

you'll need a timer for the Post Process Effect so it last x amount of seconds
You'll need to use PlayerHurt hook
And you'll need DrawMaterialOverlay or DrawTexturize

If you need help add me on steam. I'm pretty good with GLua.

Can't you just use [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/DrawMaterialOverlay]DrawMaterialOverlay[/url] (or [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/DrawTexturize]DrawTexturize[/url]) in your [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/WEAPON/DrawHUD]WEAPON/DrawHUD[/url] hook?

Seems to work for me, e.g.

function SWEP:DrawHUD()

	DrawMaterialOverlay( "effects/tvscreen_noise002a", -0.06 )
	// The -0.06 is the refract amount

end

That draws the static TV effect when the weapon is equipped, but tell me what overlay you want to use if you want me to find a path for it.

I probably read that wrong, do you mean the 'target' to be the player with the weapon or the person who is getting shot/hurt?
