Bring Chat forward infront of HUD

[chudders123]

I am developing a HUD but i have found that the chat is always behind the HUD.

I have used PANEL:MoveToBack() and i have also tried setting the ZPos of the panel but it doesn't work. I think i need to get target the chat panel and use PANEL:MoveToFront() but i dont know how to get that panel.

Does anyone have any solutions?

Thanks

Use a custom chat, there are plenty of open source chats that you can customize

I didn't want to override the chat considering it might be used by alot more people than me and i dont want to stop them from using other chat systems.

You could use Panel/PaintManual in a GM/HUDPaintBackground hook.

You should probably paint the hud in some paint hook rather than using the vgui/derma library.
But you can try Panel/ParentToHUD
