I have a working HUD and a Derma menu to go along with it which would act as an editor that can change colors, position, etc.
How can I link the two files so they can share variables so when I set a color in the Derma menu, the HUD file will be able to use that new color? Does that make sense?
Could this have anything to do with [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=G.include]G.include [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b] ??
File 1: config.lua
[lua]HUD_BGCOLOR = Color(255,0,0)
HUD_FGCOLOR = Color(0,0,255)[/lua]
File 2: hud.lua
[lua]include("config.lua")
hook.Add("HUDPaint","HUD",function()
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, ScrW(), 25, HUD_BGCOLOR )
draw.RoundedBOx( 0, 2, 2, ScrW() - 4, 21, HUD_FGCOLOR )
end)[/lua]
That would use the variables background and foreground color to draw a box at the top of the screen.
So yes, you are supposed to use "include".
