Screen red in low health

Garry's Mod coding
#1

I want to make the player’s screen redder when it is below 20 hp for a short time every time he takes a damage.

#2

GM:HUDPaint
2.

Entity:Health
3.

surface.SetDrawColor
4.

surface.DrawRect

I don’t understand, I just made a red screen



hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "HUDPaint_DrawABox", function()
    hud_health = ply:Health()
    if ( hud_health <= 20 ) then
        draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, ScrW(), ScrH(), Color( 255, 0, 0, 155 ) )
    end
end )

Where did you get draw.RoundedBox from? Why are you trying to draw a rectangle with 0 rounded corners? It’s a bit slower than surface.DrawRect.

Anyway, I didn’t really explain enough before. I just gave some basic example functions that you’ll need. This might help:



local fade = 0
local prevHealth = 100

hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "DrawRed", function()
    local health = LocalPlayer():Health()
    surface.SetDrawColor( 255, 0, 0, fade )
    surface.DrawRect( 0, 0, ScrW(), ScrH() )
    if health <= 20 and prevHealth > health then
        fade = 150
    end
    fade = math.Clamp( fade - 1, 0, 255 )
    prevHealth = health
end )

This code is pretty messy but I can’t think of a better way to do it. At least it works.

Thank you! I found RoundedBox in the exemple of

GM:HUDPaint

Ok, it’s a bit slower though so I changed it
