M Hand - Intelligent Detector HUD

Description
A minimalist Intelligent 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!.

Manual Pickup

the gif with the zombie was actually kinda tripping me out

I’ve read everything and I know you want to change the icon. Please be patient — I have a list with all the changes you requested in the comments, along with some things I’d like to add myself. I’m also finishing up a few other addons so I can fully focus on this one

idea, would you be able to add an option for customizing the hand icon, so I could change it to something like amnesia hand crosshair?
M  [author] May 11 @ 11:27am 
Sure, the next update will have more customization options

and maybe one of these preset combo boxes that return the settings to default so we can get the old sound back

it could use an option for how long it takes to display what the object you're aiming at is, because 1 second can be a bit slow in the heat of a moment to me

these games are pretty frictional

Poppy is a bubbly and extroverted Toon. She is often loud at times, such as in her interactions with Boxten and Goob. She seems to like fashion or looking good, shown by her interactions with Scraps, Rodger, Pebble, and Flutter. She is also likely good friends with Gigi and Looey. She is overall outgoing, enthusiastic, and social. Additionally, it's heavily implied that she enjoys Pop, based on her interaction with Astro and the fact there are multiple vending machines with an image of Poppy holding a can of it. There are also Bottle O' Pop and a Pop in her room, as seen in Roleplay Mode.

Only one problem I have seen. It tends to cause premature tile impacts in the player's face primary with project or fast fire rates.
