Adding Text to HUD

Last read Never

Hi, i didn't think this merited a job as it's such a minuscule thing to do, but could someone please give me the lua code i could drop into my hud file to write "originalrp.online" in the top right in the "gmod font" (i don't know the name of the font but i assume that others will know it)

I would be greatly appreciative of this,

Thanks,

-Tom

Edited I've also found that the font is called 'Derma'

needs mysql support

it's pretty easy to look it up btw

example:

local function autism()

draw.SimpleText( "my community is SHIT", "font", 50, 10, Color(255,0,255,255), TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT )

end

-- don't forget because it wasn't implied FUCK OFF TRIXTER

hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "FUCKTRIXTER", autism )

probably will work if you have a basic sense of the language u can figure it out im too lazy to go in-game and test it.

tbh, I'd find somewhere on the heads up display where you see draw.{blah} and put it directly under that, make sure it's linked with a HUDPaint hook.

or just drop it in, which ever you prefer
