HUD Designer

Simplifying the creation of HUDs

What is this? Its a interface that makes creating the code for HUDs a lot easier by allowing you to design them on your screen! It removes the aspect of needing to entirely understand Lua and spend a lot of time trying code again and again to get a result that looks right, because of this ease I request that you do not sell any code made with this script. This script is not entirely complete and I will continue to add more shapes and features to it as time goes on but at the moment it is in working order. It also comes with an autosaving system which saves your project every 60 seconds, you can find those backups in the garrysmod/data/hud_designer/autosaves folder. Change the file name 'autosave_' to 'save_' and move the file out of the autosaves folder in order to be able to load it.

- hd_open - Console command to open the designer panel
- hd_reset - Console command to reset the designer like you just loaded a new game, useful in case it breaks
- !hud - Chat command to open the designer panel

- More shapes
- In-game testing
- Font creator
- Copy tool
- TTT's HUD recreated in the editor

- What do I do with the code it exports? - You put it in a HUD function. So for TTT you would go to "garrysmod/gamemodes/terrortown/gamemode/cl_hud.lua" and look for the "Info Paint" function, that function has TTT's HUD code for living players.
- IT DOESN'T WORK?!?! - Explain your problem IN DETAIL otherwise I will just ignore you
- What is Lua? - This script won't have any real use if you do not know how to code, it simply makes HUD creation easier for those who do know.
- My image is a checkerboard - Make sure your image is in the garrysmod/materials directory (its best to use a folder addon though) and that your image path in the box is correct (the path after /materials/)

- Installation: Save in a text document that MUST start with "save_" and put them in your garrysmod/data/hud_designer folder. ex: "save_myhud.txt"

I would be glad to help people who have problems but I dont have the time or patience to teach Lua to every single person on the Workshop, sorry.
