How to add BlackBox?

[Deviler86]

Hi there,

i'm working on a Plugin in which i would like to add a BlackBox behind my menu.
I couldn't find a way to do so.
So now my question is if i can add something like that or (for example) display an icon and change it's rgb to 0,0,0.
Additional it would be nice to know how to do this.

I already tried using icons with an HudElem but the only thing i get to work with HudElem is a Text and Value type without any kind of background color. (hudelem.color only chances the fonts default color :/)

Have you tried SetIcon("black"); ?

Since nobody answered my question in the General Help Thread, i'll just post it here:

I have a problem displaying the blackbox and a text above it.
Sometimes the blackbox is drawn above the text instead of behind it. I tried editing OriginZ but that didn't help.

Can somebody give me a solution on how to display something above another thing constantly?

Please share the code you are using.

Please share the code you are using.

Ok here is the code i use (ClientInfo is a class that i wrote):

CSHARP Code

private void CreateHUDs(int ClientNum)
{
	ClientInfo clientInfo = new ClientInfo();
 
	int menu = CreateHUD_Menu(ClientNum);
	int blackBox = CreateHUD_BlackBox(ClientNum);
 
	clientInfo.HUD_Menu = menu;
	clientInfo.HUD_BlackBox = blackBox;
 
	ClientInfos.Add(ClientNum, clientInfo);
}
 
private int CreateHUD_Menu(int ClientNum)
{
	HudElem hud = CreateNewHudElem();
	hud.Type = HudElementTypes.Text;
	hud.ShowToEnt = ClientNum;
	hud.HideInMenu = true;
	hud.Font = HudElementFonts.Default;
	hud.FontScale = 1f;
	hud.PointType = 0;
	hud.OriginY = 210f;
	hud.OriginX = -60f;
	hud.SetLabel(hiddenMenuText);
	hud.SetString("");
	return hud.HudElementNum;
}
 
private int CreateHUD_BlackBox(int ClientNum)
{
	HudElem hud = CreateNewHudElem();
	hud.Type = HudElementTypes.Icon;
	hud.ShowToEnt = ClientNum;
	hud.HideInMenu = true;
	hud.PointType = 0;
	hud.OriginY = 210f;
	hud.OriginX = -60f;
	hud.IconWidth = 136;
	hud.IconHeight = 110;
	return hud.HudElementNum;
}

P.s.: I also tried creating the HUD-Elements in a different order but that didn't help.
