how do i add Velocity meter

[Hillzy37]

I was looking around the place and came across this: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=925617[/url] (scroll down to the video)

How do I make a velocity meter like this? I can make the text that shows the speed but not the meter. Please help.

Can you draw two boxes and change their width?

[Pugsworth]

Scale a rectangle by

velocity / maxvelocity * maxwidth

You should also clamp it between 0 and the maxwidth.

Can I have an example?

He posted the code right above the video... Edit for his function, but it's pretty much the same:

[lua]local velocity = 0;

if (LocalPlayer( ):InVehicle( )) then
velocity = LocalPlayer( ):GetVehicle( ):GetVelocity( ):Length( )
else
velocity = LocalPlayer( ):GetVelocity( ):Length( )
end
draw.RoundedBox(0, ScrW( ) - 250, ScrH( ) - 35, velocity/CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_FEET, 15, Color(0,255,0,255))[/lua]

Thankyou Acecool! Though this piece of code didnt work, it gave me this error:
[ERROR] gamemodes/bunnyhop/gamemode/cl_init.lua:86: attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_FEET' (a nil value)
1. unknown - gamemodes/bunnyhop/gamemode/cl_init.lua:86

So I removed this: velocity/CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_FEET and it works "decent...."

draw.RoundedBox(0, ScrW( ) - 250, ScrH( ) - 35, math.Clamp(velocity/250,0,200 ), 15, Color(0,255,0,255))

Sorry, that was part of my debug hud, and that ENUM is supposed to be:

[lua]CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_INCHES = 4/3; // 4/3 units per 1 inch, 16 units per foot
CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_FEET = CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_INCHES * 12 // == 16 in game units [/lua]
