I am in the process of creating a HUD for a server I am building with a couple friends. Unfortunately I am having a problem.
After working on the HUD in either Singleplayer or on my Test Server, After I Lua refresh a bunch of times, my Gmod crashes to desktop with no error logs. I suspect its because every time I LUA refresh it will draw another version of my HUD and eventually there are several variations of my HUD on the screen, but to me it only appears as if there is one drawn.
I believe I need a script that will prevent the HUD from drawing multiple times, it would be appreciated if you guys can help
Post some code so we know what is happening.
Common problems:
1) vgui.Create must NOT be in HUDPaint hook. Should only be called once or its going to create 60 new panels pr second.
2) surface.CreateFont must NOT be in a render hook. Should only be done once.

There you go There is more but its just the basic DarkRP HUD elements below the hook.
You're calling surface.CreateFont 60 times pr seconds. Gmod only supports 120 fonts or so.
You should only call this once.
Thanks! Ill let you know if it crashes, it tends to happen after about 5 minutes of messing around lol
