M Hand - Item Detector HUD

A minimalist item detection HUD inspired by Metal Gear Solid.

This addon adds a dynamic, animated HUD element that appears when you're looking at or near useful items like weapons, ammo, health kits, or props.

Features include:

- Hand icon when aiming directly at items
- Cross icon when items are nearby but not directly in view
- Animated text info with fade and slide transitions
- Sound cue when info is displayed
- Holding Right-click disables the hud
- Some items have special descriptions, and I will be adding more over time
- And much more, check below the updates

Customizable via spawnmenu (Q → Utilities → M Addons → M hand)

Options include:

- Enable/disable HUD
- Enable/disable background boxes
- Invert HUD colors
- Toggle prop detection
- Adjust detection ranges for direct aim and proximity
- And much more, check below the updates

Perfect for immersive roleplay, stealth missions, or enhancing your sandbox experience with subtle visual cues.

Client-side only. No server-side components required.

I designed this addon for myself, as I enjoy playing with almost no HUD, and I hope it will be useful to someone else. Feel free to leave your comments with suggestions or issues. Over time, I will be updating it and making it less demanding. I’m also working on three other addons!.
