Gmod ingame player list "hud"

[SteppuFIN]

Hey!

Does anyone know how these some guys make "hud" in the map where are listed names, pings, and server name?

I know some lua, i just want to understand how to start doing it, where to put the files, possibly i think to autorun/server.

So the "hud" is in map placeable thing which you can put to wall as a example, and you can see little bit through it, and there are names, like scoreboard but in world so you dont have to press "TAB" key.

Thank you!

It's using a mix of [b][url=http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/indexedb0.html]3D2D[/url][/b] and the [b][url=http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index0183.html]draw[/url][/b] library.

You position where the text appears in the world with the arguments in [b][url=http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/indexedb0.html]cam.Start3D2D[/url][/b], and then just use the draw library as if it were on the HUD.

Here's a small example I just made to help you get started.

This is the cl_init of a entity, you could hook into other
rendering methods to draw a floating hud in the world.
But I like using entities because you can drag them arround
when finding a place to put the 3d2d.

This is all handled client side so I shouldn't need to
paste the init.lua of my example entity.

Happy coding

Thank you very much, but where do i put this if not in entities? Like world prop/or just giving pos for it.
Very much thanks for you, for giving example, will start coding when i know where to put it.

[SteppuFIN]

Anyone knows where to put? Lua/autorun/client?

[meharryp]

Its a cl_init of an entity, make an entity and put that code in the cl_init.

I know, but i dont want entity.. i just want that when i restart the server, it is there not prop/entity that has to be spawned.

Then spawn that entity as soon as the server runs? ( using Lua, of course )

One way, but the entity sitting somewhere in map... Cmoon there haves to be no entity way.

[SteppuFIN]

If i dont use entity, how i can change the LocalPlayer?
