HUD

[DJ Dippa]

Heres a basic hud, that I hand scripted. Hope you like it. I'm not the best of the best at LUA, Please give credit :3 I learned some LUA from the begining on a sight called "roblox" where it was game.Workspace blah, but here you go.

surface.CreateFont("s1", {
font = "Arial",
size = 20,
weight = 900,
antialias = true,
shadow = false,
})

function HUDHide( myhud )
for k, v in pairs{"CHUDHealth","CHUDBattery"} do
	if myhud == v then return false
	end
end
hook.Add("HUDShouldDraw","HudHide123",HUDHide) --mistake #3, HUDShouldDraw wasn't a string

function GM:HUDPaint()
self.BaseClass:HUDPaint()
local ply = LocalPlayer()
local HP = ply:Health()
local ARM = ply:Armor()

surface.SetTextColor(255, 255, 255, 255)
surface.SetFont("s1")
surface.SetTextPos(ScrW()-10, ScrH()-10)
surface.DrawText(hp)
end
	

This is a small HUD that tracks your movement speed, and health.

hook,Add should be hook.Add, HUDShouldDraw should be a string

oh right, im thinking old gmod, there, fixed. should work now

[john552]

[QUOTE=DJ Dippa;44937920]oh right, im thinking old gmod, there, fixed. should work now[/QUOTE]

you're creating a font every second, the first argument in the surface.CreateFont table should be font, not the last

is this SweetTeas alt?

[DJ Dippa]

no, it should work. hold on, ill test it right now

no im not a alt

move

surface.CreateFont("s1", {
size = 20,
weight = 900,
antialias = true,
shadow = false,
font = "Arial"})

this, out of the hudpaint hook

you also shouldn't be including shared.lua because you're not supplying us with any

[DJ Dippa]

ok ok i think i got it

function HUDHide( myhud )
for k, v in pairs{"CHUDHealth","CHUDBattery"} do
	if myhud == v then return false end
	end
end
local ply = LocalPlayer()

surface.CreateFont( "HUD", {
    font = "DermaLarge",
    size = 72
} )

hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "HUDHP", function()
  surface.SetFont( "HUD" )
    surface.SetTextColor( 255, 0, 0 )
    surface.SetTextPos( 32, 32 )
    surface.DrawText( ply:Health() )
end )

function GM:HUDPaint()
	self.BaseClass:HUDPaint()
	local ply = LocalPlayer()
	local HP = LocalPlayer():Health()
	local ARM = LocalPlayer():Armor()
	
surface.CreateFont("s1", {
size = 20,
weight = 900,
antialias = true,
shadow = false,
font = "Arial"})
	end

would this be correct? i think i need to study gmod on its new system

I'm done. You're clearly SweetTeas alt account and you're just laughing at my attempts to help you.

why did you create hook.Add when you already overrode the gamemode function?

I looked at a tutorial to help, and edited some things to see what the updates were, and I thought that was the thing.

function HUDHide( myhud )
for k, v in pairs{"CHUDHealth","CHUDBattery"} do

	end
end

function GM:HUDPaint()

local ARM = ply:Armor()

surface.SetFont("s1")
surface.SetTextPos(ScrW()-10, ScrH()-10) --do the positioning yourself, i'm not feeding you all of it
surface.DrawText(hp)
end

try this

[DJ Dippa]

so is this correct, or am i stupid

function HUDHide( myhud )
for k, v in pairs{"CHUDHealth","CHUDBattery"} do
	if myhud == v then return false end
	end
end
local ply = LocalPlayer()

surface.CreateFont("s1", {
font = "Arial",
size = 20,
weight = 900,
antialias = true,
shadow = false,
})

function HUDHide( myhud )
for k, v in pairs{"CHUDHealth","CHUDBattery"} do
	if myhud == v then return false end
	end
end
hook.Add("HUDShouldDraw","HudHide123",HUDHide)

function GM:HUDPaint()
self.BaseClass:HUDPaint()
local ply = LocalPlayer()
local HP = LocalPlayer():Health()
local ARM = LocalPlayer():Armor()
end

[c👌de_g🎷]

Why declare ply as LocalPlayer() in the HUDPaint, and then use LocalPlayer() in HP and ARM?

[john552]

[QUOTE=DJ Dippa;44938040]so is this correct, or am i stupid

function HUDHide( myhud )

do you want me to draw it for you too?..

I'm guessing so I can figure out what I did wrong, because im not sure.

surface.CreateFont("s1", {

size = 20,
weight = 900,
antialias = true,

function HUDHide( myhud )
for k, v in pairs{"CHUDHealth","CHUDBattery"} do

	end

function GM:HUDPaint()
self.BaseClass:HUDPaint()

surface.DrawText(hp)
end

what you did was override hudpaint and stop elements from being drawn, but you didn't draw anything yourself. what I did in the script above is draw some stuff for you with the surface library, do the positioning yourself though. i've also updated what was incorrect and would cause errors with your code.
