Advanced HUD Tools

[-HP-]

Oh comments! You can now coment code with <!-- blah --> type tags.

Also, various people want some better documentation; which I'm wiling to write, except I don't know where. I could put it on my own website, but I suppose somewhere else with more wire relevance would be better... Suggestions?

The Wiki! Wiremod - GMod Wiki


I've added hud2 to my server, feel free to play with it there

For the love of (any particular) god, if you're good at writing this stuff, add to those pages! I'm not a particularly good teacher, and either way, I don't really have the time to do it -all- thus; any help would be very welcome so I can focus on the code!

Well, I expanded the list of tags to include all their attributes in a ripped-from-Expression2-wiki table. I may have misunderstood some attributes, as I've not used them all yet. Also, I find it quite impossible to switch out of the Queen's English for spelling, so the document may now be a little schizophrenic about things like colour.
Also added your version of the progress bar as an example.

Thanks! I was thinking of 'borrowing' E2's style myself, but CBA by the time I got to that

Also, you reminded me, FONTS WORK NOW! just so you lot know :P

for you

You could make a function for Advanced HUD 2, that would convert world coordinates to screen coordinates.

I already made the function for E2, but it's slow due to so much data transfer (server->client->server).

I'm gonna use this to do a sort of an RTS type NPC commander.

It will be awesome. Did you implement the ability to click HUD elements yet?

What for? HUD2 already draws from 3d coordinate inputs.

The hook is there, but its not active yet - I'm stuck for a decent way to do this...

I can only think to set up a key bind so you can get a cursor, but that does strike me as rather clunky... The other alternative, of course, is to have a 'hud mode' input pin, which enables your cursor... 'tis tricky to decide...

Anyway - I'm probably going to push events to a stack on the SENT for clicks/derma/etc, then use a [clk] input to push events to an output pin in order - that way several people can have the SENT hooked and the events will still be meaningful by the time they get to the server.

I maintain that this should have a dancing hula girl that can be spawned on screen.

Also what about an oscilloscope? That would be pretty neat. Have it draw out waveforms and such. So you could have a grid to display 2D coordinates, or a moving graph.

May I ask how?

If you set the position of an element, use a 3d vector.
