I'm making a hud and i want the players balance and salary on the same line but in two different colors, is there a way about doing this?
Use two separate DrawText calls, but put one after the other.

Wouldn't that require me to choose two different positions for the text? I want them to be right next to eachother no matter the value much like they would if they were in the same drawtext call
You can use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/surface/GetTextSize]surface.GetTextSize[/url] to get the width of the first section so you can place the second right after.
Find out the width of the first line ([url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/surface/GetTextSize[/url]), then find out the width of "blank" space in given font. So X location of second call would be: x = x+1stlinewidth+widthofspacebar (or simply include the spacebar in the second call.)
#edit
code, half assed, idk if its gonna work.
[code]
local text1 "I am red "
local text2 = " and I am green"
surface.SetFont("font")
surface.SetTextColor(255,0,0,255)
surface.SetTextPos(20,40)
surface.DrawText(text1)
local x,y = surface.GetTextSize( text1 )
surface.SetTextColor(0,255,0,255)
surface.SetTextPos(20+x,40)
surface.DrawText(text2)
[/code]
