<function name="HUDPaint" parent="GM" type="hook"> <description> Called whenever the HUD should be drawn. This is the ideal place to draw custom HUD elements. To prevent the default game HUD from drawing, use <page>GM:HUDShouldDraw</page>. This hook does **not** get called when the Camera SWEP is held, or when the <key>esc</key> menu is open. If you need to draw in those situations, use <page>GM:DrawOverlay</page> instead. <rendercontext hook="true" type="2D"></rendercontext> </description> <realm>Client</realm> <file line="80-L86">gamemodes/base/gamemode/cl_init.lua</file>⤶ </function> <example> <description>Draws a transparent black box in the top left corner of the screen.</description> <code> hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "HUDPaint_DrawABox", function() surface.SetDrawColor( 0, 0, 0, 128 ) surface.DrawRect( 50, 50, 128, 128 ) end ) </code> </example>
