Creating DrawCircle on a player position?

[gary23548]

Not sure why this doesn't work. It's suppose to record the position of LocalPlayer and draw a circle on the screen. Anyone know what's wrong?

function Set()

c = LocalPlayer():GetPos():ToScreen()

end


function setpos()

surface.SetDrawColor( 255, 40, 80, 255 )
surface.DrawCircle( math.floor(c.x), math.floor(c.y) + 50, 50, Color(255,100,100,255) )

end

concommand.Add("set", Set)
hook.Add("HUDPaint", "SetPos" ,setpos)

You are taking a World Vector, and drawing onto the screen with those values.

Use the ToScreen function and you should be good to go.

Well, among other things c is going to be nil before you run the console command "set" and the HUDPaint hook is going to just go whether c is available or not. I'm assuming you're getting an error that says something along the lines of attempting to index a nil value

I'm not 100% sure why you need the console command but if you want it for some reason, put an if statement before drawing things, like this

[lua]if ( c ) then
surface.SetDrawColor( 255, 40, 80, 255 )
surface.DrawCircle( math.floor(c.x), math.floor(c.y) + 50, 50, Color(255,100,100,255) )
end[/lua]

It isn't nil I tested it. It sets the value of the location but doesn't paint it on the screen.
