[Tutorial]Creating your own Shaders and Applying to a Players HUD - Simple in Scripting

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN1Upf7lhr4#ws

Simply speaking:

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.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	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
