Hooks coliding, don't know what to do.

---SOLVED BY ACECOOL---

I tried adding text when you look at an entity (name is sim_ent_thompson1944, and sim_ent_ppsh41)
This is the cl_init of both of them:
(Tommy Gun)

include("shared.lua")

ENT.RenderGroup = RENDERGROUP_OPAQUE

function ENT:Draw()
	self.Entity:DrawModel()
	hook.Add("HUDPaint", "tomDraw", function()
	local ply = LocalPlayer()
	if(ply:Alive()) then
		if(ply:GetEyeTrace()) then
			if(ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity) then
				local ent = ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity
						if(ent:GetPos():Distance(ply:GetPos()) < 140) then
							local xAxis = ply:GetEyeTrace().HitPos:ToScreen().x
							local yAxis = ply:GetEyeTrace().HitPos:ToScreen().y
							surface.SetFont("ChatFont")
							surface.SetTextColor(230, 126, 34)
							surface.SetTextPos(xAxis+3,yAxis)
							surface.DrawText("Tommy Gun")
							surface.SetFont("ChatFont")
							surface.SetTextColor(255,255,255)
							surface.SetTextPos(xAxis,yAxis-2)
							surface.DrawText("Press E To Pick Up")
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end

(PPSH41)

include("shared.lua")

ENT.RenderGroup = RENDERGROUP_OPAQUE

function ENT:Draw()
	self.Entity:DrawModel()
	hook.Add("HUDPaint", "ppshDraw", function()
	local ply = LocalPlayer()
	if(ply:Alive()) then
		if(ply:GetEyeTrace()) then
			if(ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity) then
				local ent = ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity
						if(ent:GetPos():Distance(ply:GetPos()) < 140) then
							local xAxis = ply:GetEyeTrace().HitPos:ToScreen().x
							local yAxis = ply:GetEyeTrace().HitPos:ToScreen().y
							surface.SetFont("ChatFont")
							surface.SetTextColor(230, 126, 34)
							surface.SetTextPos(xAxis+3,yAxis)
							surface.DrawText("Thompson1944")
							surface.SetFont("ChatFont")
							surface.SetTextColor(255,255,255)
							surface.SetTextPos(xAxis,yAxis-2)
							surface.DrawText("Press E To Pick Up")
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end

And it's showing like this when I spawn one entity:

When I spawn the other one, they colide:

It's like the second one runs the hook of the first one.
Why?

*ACTUALLY: It draws it over any entity. How do i fix this?!

[Acecool]

I output it on HUDPaint; simpler it seems:

[lua]//
// Press E to pick up weapon / Hold E to swap - Josh 'Acecool' Moser
//
hook.Add("HUDPaint", "AcecoolWeaponBase:HoldEToPickUpHUD", function( )
local _d, _t = LocalPlayer( ):TraceDistance( );

if ( IsValid( _t.Entity ) && _t.Entity:IsWeapon( ) && _d < 120 ) then
local _text = "Tap USE to pick up " .. _t.Entity:GetTable( ).PrintName .. ".";
draw.SimpleText( _text , "default", ScrW( ) / 2 + 25, ( ScrH( ) / 2 ) - 6, COLOR_WHITE )
end
[/lua]

That should be enough - a lot removed for the bar and other logic...

Thanks, but it says

You'll need to use your own trace and distance function. I combined them for the many cases where traces and getting a distance is used at the same time:

Very straight forward:
[lua]//
// Returns distance and trace - Josh 'Acecool' Moser
//
function META_PLAYER:TraceDistance( pos )
if ( !IsValid( self ) ) then return false; end

local _tr = util.TraceLine( util.GetPlayerTrace( self ) );
local _dist = math.GetDistance( ( pos or _tr.HitPos ), self:GetShootPos( ) );

return _dist, _tr;
end[/lua]

Can i add this to ENT:Draw()?

[Acecool]

As said, I simply use it in my HUDPaint; it may work in ENT:Draw with modifications... The function shouldn't be in it though because it would redefine it each time it draws..

I'm kinda confused... Can you help me over steam?

Here's the new code, for a CLIENT side file outside of any weapon files:

[lua]//
// Draw Weapon-Name hook - Josh 'Acecool' Moser
// Rewritten from [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1397295[/url] to follow my pre-existing logic
//
hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "WeaponText", function( )
local _p = LocalPlayer( );
local _tr = _p:GetEyeTrace( );
local _ent = _tr.Entity;

if( IsValid( _p ) && _p:Alive( ) && _tr && IsValid( _ent ) && _ent:IsWeapon( ) ) then
if( _ent:GetPos( ):Distance( _p:GetPos( ) ) < 140 ) then
local _name = "N/A";
if ( _ent.GetTable && _ent:GetTable( ).PrintName ) then
_name = _ent:GetTable( ).PrintName;
end

draw.SimpleText( _name, "ChatFont", ScrW( ) / 2 + 15, ( ScrH( ) / 2 ), Color( 230, 126, 34 ) )
draw.SimpleText( "Press E To Pick Up", "ChatFont", ScrW( ) / 2 + 15, ( ScrH( ) / 2 ) - 16, Color( 255, 255, 255 ) )
end
end
end );[/lua]

It would've been easier to notice the issue had the HUDPaint been tabbed like everything else. The issue was the HUDPaint inside of Draw was called once for each weapon. Since the HUDPaint was the same name, it drew once for the weapon you looked at, then once more when the next entity Draw was called.

Thanks! Acecool solved it!
