Adding a speed bar on a HUD

[mil0001]

How would i go about adding a speed bar on a HUD.

[SchumacherAlt]

getvelocity or something, wiki it.

First check if the entity is a player, then use this [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Entity.GetVelocity]Entity.GetVelocity [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b]

[decyg]

Use the example on the wiki

[HeavyMtl123]

Use this to check if the entity is a player

[lua]if ent:IsValid() and ent:IsPlayer() then
--function here
end[/lua]

Ok thank you for that.

[MakeR]

[lua]hook.Add("HUDPaint", "SpeedBar", function()
local speed = LocalPlayer():GetVelocity():Length()
surface.SetDrawColor(255, 0, 0, 255)
surface.DrawRect(10, 10, speed, 30)
end)[/lua]

Really simple example.

I guess because this is actually a simple question, and most questions people ask are generally simple.

Haha, sadly; No. I do not get paid.

It's just, I'm abit tired of seeing threads, where their questions are like, one line or something.

And CapsAdmin created the thread for those quick questions.

[HeavyMtl123]

Because CapsAdmin is a special wittle guy :dance:
