How can i add an image to my HUD?

[Myckyy]

Hello,
I'm looking to add an image to my HUD.
I've already found that "

surface.SetTexture(surface.GetTextureID("gui/silkicons/heart"))

" but I have an error in my console, any idea?
Error :

--- Missing Vgui material gui/silkicons/heart

Myckael,

(Sorry for my bad english, i'm french^^)

The silkicon is icon16/heart.png. Also, don't define your material within your drawing hook. It'll be heavy performance wise if you're calling it every frame.

Better off doing it like this:

-- outside of your hook
local heartTex = Material("icon16/heart.png") -- surface.GetTextureID doesn't work with .png's

-- and in your hook
surface.SetTexture(heartTex) -- just set the texture to the one we defined above

Don't use SetTexture, that barely ever works for anything, try using SetMaterial:

local texture = Material( "icon16/heart.png" )

hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "example", function()
    surface.SetDrawColor( 255, 255, 255, 255 ) -- solid white
    surface.SetMaterial( texture ) -- set the current material to the heart
    surface.DrawTexturedRect( 0, 0, 50, 50 ) -- this draws a heart in the top left (0, 0) of size 50 x 50
end )

Note the icon16 icons are only meant to be displayed in 16x16

I have another problem, the heart appears below the roundedbox :/

That file is a .svg, you'll first need to find a way to save or convert it to a .png file, but when you do, you just need to put it in here:

Steam/SteamApps/Common/GarrysMod/garrysmod/materials/

And then do

local texture = Material("icon.png")

Post the code? You just need to draw it after drawing the rounded box?
