[Tutorial] Overlays

[Yamato]

Hello

Another tutorial,

This is about overlays(HUD)

Paste this anywhere in your mod code:

Code:

CreateOverlay( shader_name, start_alpha, color )
{
    overlay = newHudElem();
    overlay.x = 0;
    overlay.y = 0;
    overlay setshader( shader_name, 640, 480 );
    overlay.alignX = "left";
    overlay.alignY = "top";
    overlay.sort = 1;
    overlay.color = color;
    overlay.horzAlign = "fullscreen";
    overlay.vertAlign = "fullscreen";
    overlay.alpha = start_alpha;
    overlay.foreground = true;
    return overlay;
}

Now, to call a overlay, do this:

Code:

    CreateOverlay( "shader,remember to precache it", alpha(put 1, for a good result) , (red,green,blue));

Example of use:

Code:

Mod() // A random thread name
{
    CreateOverlay( "minimap_scanlines", 1 , (0,1,0.2));
}

I hope this helps,

1 question... how can i clear the hud in order to make my own elem? (not recreating textures - just clear the hud showing only the gun and the environment)

HC mode, and set the max health back to 100...

You can also use:

Code:

self setClientDvar( "cg_draw2D", "0" );
