I can't seem to override the base version of the pickup HUD.
I really wanna create something simple for it, but it wont let me override it in my gamemode. I have searched alot on google about any guides/tutorials on how to make your own "Weapon pickup hud" but all I could find was people telling me to 'override' it by just making
[LUA]
function GM:HUDDrawPickupHistory( )
end
[/LUA]
inside of a clientside script.
Any help would be appreciated :)
You can have a look at the version that's implemented in base [url=https://github.com/garrynewman/garrysmod/blob/28b7be5cda7fdde1a19c59d43408dcb2df357fd8/garrysmod/gamemodes/base/gamemode/cl_hudpickup.lua]here[/url]. It should give you a good idea on what you'll need.
The short version is you do need to override [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/HUDDrawPickupHistory]GM/HUDDrawPickupHistory[/url], and iterate over GM.PickupHistory, which contains a table of everything you've picked up recently.
(Bear in mind you'll need to manage popping items off the queue when they expire in the hook too.)
