like an oxygen mask from moon or mabey blood or scratches around the edges? I dont know how to do that but it would be cool!

Yes Similar

		something = create_simple_hud( self );
		something.foreground = true; 
		something.sort = 1; 
		something.hidewheninmenu = true; 
		something.alignX = "location"; 
		something.alignY = "location";
		something.horzAlign = "location"; 
		something.vertAlign = "location";
		something.x = INT;
		something.y = INT;
		something.alpha = 1;
		something SetShader( shader, X_SIZE, Y_SIZE );

something.alignX = "left";
something.alignY = "top";
something.horzAlign = "fullscreen";
something.vertAlign = "fullscreen";
something SetShader( "material_name", 640, 480 );

Created a 2D texture then do:

		something = create_simple_something( self );
		something.foreground = true; 
		something.sort = 1; 
		something.hidewheninmenu = true; 
		something.alignX = "location"; 
		something.alignY = "location";
		something.horzAlign = "location"; 
		something.vertAlign = "location";
		something.x = INT;
		something.y = INT;
		something.alpha = 1;
		something SetShader( shader, X_SIZE, Y_SIZE );

So if something like fullscreen you would do

something.alignX = "left";
something.alignY = "top";
something.horzAlign = "fullscreen";
something.vertAlign = "fullscreen";
something SetShader( "material_name", 640, 480 );

MAKE SURE TO PRECACHE IT.
precacheShader("material_name");

what do i replace something with? (sorry im a n00b)

what do i out in as INT

something.x = INT;
	 something.y = INT;

got this error.

(Image removed from quote.)

the game starts now but nothing shows up on teh screen

it is like normal, could u just basicly make a step-by-step tut on how to add ur code?

• Find/create your shader.
• Load up AssMan, create a new material.
• Select materialType as 2D, blendFunc to Blend, tile to NO TILE, link to the image.
• Build the material.
• Copy raw/images/linked_image to mods/yourMod/images/
• Go to your scripts folder create a new function or use it in an existing one (one that you created).
• First precache the shader by using the function PrecacheShader("shader");[/u].
• Function should include hud_spawn = create_simple_hud(self); //self represents the entity the function was called from so you better have called it like this: self thread newHUDElem or whatever entity self is BUT MAKE SURE IT'S A PLAYER.

	something = create_simple_hud( self );
	something.sort = 1;
	something.hidewheninmenu = true;
	something.alignX = "left";
	something.alignY = "top";
	something.horzAlign = "fullscreen";
	something.vertAlign = "fullscreen";
	something SetShader( "shader", 640, 480 );

• mod.csv should include the material by doing: material,material_name
• Include image and compile

I did every thing u did, but the image doesn't show:

This is my script:

#include common_scripts\utility;
#include maps\_utility;
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility;

main()
{

PrecacheShader("screen_overlay");

level thread screenfx();

}


screenfx()
{

something = create_simple_hud( self );
	something.sort = 1;
	something.hidewheninmenu = true;
	something.alignX = "left";
	something.alignY = "top";
	something.horzAlign = "fullscreen";
	something.vertAlign = "fullscreen";
	something SetShader( "screen_overlay", 640, 480 );
	something.alpha = 1;
	return something;

}

PrecacheShader("screen_overlay");
