How to make a Garry's Mod Compass

[DanielAvital]

I really want to make a compass but I don't really now LUA all that well, I'm taking this as an example to see where I can see and go for different things I will hope to try and make. I am just starting off, so some questions.

Do I need to make more than one lua script ETC Shared.lua or anything
May someone send me the code that shows direction and bearing Example : North South East West, Bearing 244 or whatever bearing you are actaully in

Well that sounds something really easy to make.
To answer the first question: You just need it running clientside since everything needed is there.
For the second question: I'm making a small script and testing it in game right now, I'll EDIT this when I'm done.

Lowercase that "angle.Yaw".

what? .y

[Bobblehead]

Spot the difference
surface.DrawTexturedRectRotated(ScrW()/2, ScrH()/2, 20, 100, -EyeAngles().Yaw)
surface.DrawTexturedRectRotated(ScrW()/2, ScrH()/2, 20, 100, -EyeAngles().yaw)

Yeah, who uses "yaw" anyways? It's another two keys you need to press let alone when you decide to capatilize it.

Everyday.

Probably going to use it this way from now on.
But I don't know if that guy is being petty or something but .Yaw .yaw .y all return the same value :-I It's also easier to understand for someone like the OP that asked the question.
