Custom scoreboard.

[AGFlav]

Can i please have some advice on how i would go about making a custom scoreboard and implementing it into my custom gamemode?

[:0]

The way I made my scoreboard was by using garrys scoreboard code located [URL="https://github.com/garrynewman/garrysmod/blob/010ec97a994e6407fe04fdb0dea871ed2b211c5e/garrysmod/gamemodes/base/gamemode/cl_scoreboard.lua"]here[/URL]

To implement it just create a new file called cl_scoreboard.lua (thats what I call it, you can name it whatever) then include it in init.lua, and cl_init.lua

init.lua

AddCSLuaFile("cl_scoreboard.lua")

cl_init.lua

include("cl_scoreboard.lua")

If you want to create your own scoreboard, you can use the code below if you want, its just garrys code with some parts removed

cl_scoreboard.lua

surface.CreateFont( "ScoreboardDefault", {
    font        = "Helvetica",
    size        = 22,
    weight        = 800
})

surface.CreateFont( "ScoreboardDefaultTitle", {
    font        = "Helvetica",
    size        = 32,
    weight        = 800
})

local PLAYER_LINE = {
        -- Code for the player rows, and the player functions
}

PLAYER_LINE = vgui.RegisterTable( PLAYER_LINE, "DPanel" )

local SCORE_BOARD = {
    -- Code for the actual scoreboard,  you put things like the servers logo here, the background for the player rows, etc
}

SCORE_BOARD = vgui.RegisterTable( SCORE_BOARD, "EditablePanel" )

function GM:ScoreboardShow()
    if ( !IsValid( g_Scoreboard ) ) then
        g_Scoreboard = vgui.CreateFromTable( SCORE_BOARD )
    end

    if ( IsValid( g_Scoreboard ) ) then
        g_Scoreboard:Show()
        g_Scoreboard:MakePopup()
        g_Scoreboard:SetKeyboardInputEnabled( false )
    end
end

function GM:ScoreboardHide()
    if ( IsValid( g_Scoreboard ) ) then
        g_Scoreboard:Hide()
    end
end

you haven't done the table correctly. To dd logos and pictures you can use this for an example. Or just [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/VGUI/Elements/DImage[/url]

NewImage = vgui.Create( "DImage", SOmethingToParent ) --Parent it to a panel or frame or whatever
NewImage:SetPos( 50, 60 )                              
NewImage:SetImage( "image directory here" )  
NewImage:SizeToContents()
