How to make a Context Menu Tool?

Secton-2.5 · June 19, 2022, 10:57am

I’ve literally searched everything to find how to do it (GMod, Unofficial, Old Wiki; Facepunch Forum; even the Reddit) but did not find this information . So, title says it all: How to code it (The ones that has the icon and Text in up-left)?

(I hope this is the right category for that)

I saw the Tools like PAC3, WireMod (E2 extension or something like that) that made it.

There are no tutorials on the Wiki but I can give you some examples to help you in your process:

list.Set - Garry's Mod Wiki (see the second example, it’s to add an icon on the top left of the screen to achieve an action, like opening a VGUI).
simplethirdperson/thirdperson.lua at 8bd3fa5773c50e91e95a99469c78dd2bd4084204 · Metastruct/simplethirdperson · GitHub (an example of use with the well-known addon Simple Third Person).
aurora-ttt/spawnmenu.lua at 3809cd955830e38e3db2095e1c300f4b471d1d75 · Servius/aurora-ttt · GitHub (another example with the PAC 3).

If you have any questions, I will try to answer you in the best way.
