Which way is better?

[Fantym420]

I'm starting work on a game mode and I'm trying to decide if I want to have long hooks or multiple hooks or would it be the same either way. Mostly I'm thinking about drawing, should I hook for each HUD element i'm going to draw or should I just draw all elements in one hook? Thank you for any help.

Draw them all in one hook.

If you're worried about having ginormous hooks, you could have individual functions and then call them all in the same hook. i.e.

[lua]function paintTheBox()
draw.RoundedBox(0,0,0,100,100,color_white);
end

function paintTheText()
draw.DrawText("Text","default",0,0,color_black,0);
end

hook.Add("HUDPaint","MyPainting",function()
paintTheBox();
paintTheText();
end);[/lua]

Ok, I like that idea. I'll Have one draw hook and use functions for each HUD.

Thanks everybody.
