Add Ammunition/Weapon to Gmod Hud

[BeastVallejo]

It's been easy making health with draw.RoundedBox/draw.SimpleText
But how do I make a ammo bar/text for my hud?

Thank You Very Much :)

This is my hud right now

You would use:
[URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/GetActiveWeapon"]Player:GetActiveWeapon()[/URL]
[URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Category:Weapon"]Category:Weapon[/URL]

I get errors

heres my code

function hud() -- Consider functions like a cyber button, and everything INSIDE the function turns on when this cyber button is pressed.

local health = LocalPlayer():Health()
local weapon = LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon()
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 10, 740, 300, 50, Color( 0, 0, 0, 200 ) )
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 10, 680, 300, 50, Color( 0, 0, 0, 200 ) )
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 10, 680, math.Clamp(health ,0, 200)*3, 50, Color( 0, 0, 0, 210 ) )
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 10, 680, math.Clamp(health ,0, 200)*3, 50, Color( 0, 0, 0, 210 ) )
draw.SimpleText("Health:", "Default", 15, ScrH() - 60 - 40, Color(255,255,255,255))
draw.SimpleText("Ammo:", "Default", 15, ScrH() - 5 - 40, Color(255,255,255,255))
draw.SimpleText(health, "default", 145, ScrH() - 60 - 40, Color(255,255,255,255))
draw.SimpleText(weapon, "default", 150, ScrH() - 60 - 40, Color(255,255,255,255))
end 

hook.Add("HUDPaint", "MyHudName", hud) -- I'll explain hooks and functions in a second




-- Hide Original Hud --
 function hidehud(name)
	for k, v in pairs({"CHudHealth", "CHudBattery", "CHudAmmo", "CHudSecondaryAmmo"}) do
		if name == v then return false end
	end
end
hook.Add("HUDShouldDraw", "HideOurHud:D", hidehud)

That's because the first argument has to be a string.

Use the weapon library like so, "weapon:Clip1()". This will return a number of the weapon's primary clip.
