HTML:GetHTMLMaterial() not working properly

[Yuri6037]

So hi all,

I would like to make a shop plate with a shop logo. I already made my cam.Start3D2D and it's working. But i can't find anyway to get the texture. Indead, the texture is an image file located on a website. So i'm using a fake HTML without frames and withut showing it.

But when i try to retrieve the generated texture, if the panel is not displayed at screen, GetHTMLMaterial returns nil.

So i need a way to display any website on a cam.Start3D2D. Does any one knows a way to do it ?

--This function is called everytime the page has changed for the player who view it (it gens the texture)
function ENT:ChangePage(newPage)
	local tempFrame = vgui.Create("DFrame")
	tempFrame:SetSize(558, 290)
	local browser = vgui.Create("HTML", tempFrame)
	browser:SetPaintedManually(false)
    browser:SetSize(558, 290)
    browser:SetMouseInputEnabled(false)
    browser:OpenURL(newPage)	
	tempFrame:Show()
	
	print(browser)
	self.Texture = browser
	self.WebPage = newPage
	tempFrame:Close()
end

--My cam.Start3D2D
	cam.Start3D2D(DrawPos, DrawAngles, 0.4)
		surface.SetDrawColor(0, 0, 0, 255)
		surface.DrawRect(0, 0, 558, 290)

		draw.RoundedBox(4, 0, 0, 558, 30, Color(0, 0, 70, 200))		
		draw.SimpleText("Page : " .. self.WebPage, "TargetID", 0, 0, Color(255, 255, 255, 255))
		
		if (self.Texture:IsValid() and self.Texture != nil and self.Texture:GetHTMLMaterial() != nil) then
			render.SetMaterial(self.Texture:GetHTMLMaterial())
			render.DrawQuad(Vector(0, 0, 0), Vector(558, 0, 0), Vector(558, 290, 0), Vector(0, 290, 0))
		end
	cam.End3D2D()

You must do

	browser:SetPaintedManually(true )
	/*draw here*/ 
	browser:SetPaintedManually( false )

As far as I remember.

Or you can try doing browser:PaintAt( x, y, w, h )
