[pineappleplay]

Hello im creating a TTT Hub for some and and im adding there name into the hub but it doesn't show up

code for the name to add the name to the hud
[lua]
function HudPlyName(ply)
local text = ply:Nick()
draw.SimpleText( text, font, 255, 255, Color(250, 250, 250, 250 ), TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT, TEXT_ALIGN_TOP )
end
[/lua]

any help is loved <3

Are you calling GetText?

Edit: He edited the post and renamed the function to 'HudPlyName'

[QUOTE=Coffeee;49435950]Are you calling GetText?[/QUOTE]

no, the function is subpost to get the name of the player then put it on the hub

[manolis]

Yeah, but just having the function won't do anything because it's not being run. Check if the player is looking at someone in the HUDPaint hook and call it there

Also make sure 'font' is defined (and I think you mean HUD)

Thanks man

the function is subpost to put the clients name on their own hub do you know what to do

[manolis]

function HudPlyName()
    local text = LocalPlayer():Nick()
    draw.SimpleText( text, font, 255, 255, Color(250, 250, 250, 250), TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT, TEXT_ALIGN_TOP )
end

hook.Add("HUDPaint", "SubpostToDrawNameOnHub", HudPlyName)

~Copy all of my posts, I don't mind!~

You need to be more specific in what you're trying to do. Are you trying to put the name of a player on your HUD or are you trying to get the name of a player you're looking at? Also, your function will not run or render because its not being told to. You need put it in a HUDPaint. If you want to put the player's name on the HUD, you use LocalPlayer():Name()

[lua]
surface.CreateFont( "myFont", { -- This is how you define a font. You need to refer to it's name, like in the draw.Simpletext when you want to use it.
size = 12,
weight = 500,
antialias = true,
shadow = false,
font = "Trebuchet"})

function doHUD()

local plyName = LocalPlayer():Name() -- This gets a client's name.

draw.SimpleText( plyName, "myFont", 250, 250, Color(250, 250, 250, 250 ) )

end
hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "doHUD", doHUD ) -- You need a HUDPaint or it won't render.
[/lua]

[QUOTE=MPan1;49436579]So... you're overriding the default HUDPaint function AND hooking to it?![/QUOTE]

yep
