Part III
This tutorial will explain how to add the current name of the weapon the player is using to the HUD we created earlier. This SHOULD be a pretty simple tutorial. But, its quite tedious for doing it for every single weapon. So, I'll do it for the glock, and that will be it. You should be able to figure out how to do it for the other weapons. I hope to go God you have previous C++ knowledge. If so, continue, if not, LEARN IT!

Wow, this is gonna be quite the colorful tutorial =)
Open hud.h and scroll to the CHudAmmo class definition.
In that class definition, find WEAPON *m_pWeapon; that should be in the private section in that class.
Move that line into the PUBLIC section so that we can access it from our HUD.
Now, here is where we make our label in our new HUD. First we have to make all the new casts and declarations and junk, so in vgui_newhud.h find this set of code:
// health
CTransparentPanel *m_pStatsPanel;
Label *m_pPlayerHealth;
char m_szPlayerHealth[512];
// health
below that, lets add some more new stuff:
// weapon name
CTransparentPanel *m_pWeaponPanel;
Label *m_pWeaponName;
char m_szWeaponName[512];
//weapon name
Ok, now you have your new variables. Now open up vgui_ScorePanel.cpp and find
// zero out the values
strcpy(m_szPlayerHealth, "");
right after that, put in:
// weapon name
strcpy(m_szWeaponName,"");
// weapon name
now, in that same area, locate:
m_pPlayerHealth->setBgColor( 0,0,0,
255);
m_pPlayerHealth->setContentAlignment( vgui::Label::a_west
);
m_pPlayerHealth->setParent(m_pStatsPanel);
// health
then add
// create the weapon panel
m_pWeaponPanel = new CTransparentPanel(100,
ScreenWidth * 0.8, ScreenHeight * 0.7, ScreenWidth * 0.2, ScreenHeight *
0.1);
m_pWeaponPanel->setParent(this);
m_pWeaponPanel->setBorder(
new LineBorder( Color(0,0,255,0) ) );
// create the weapon panel
I kinda guestimated those values, so you may have to do a little messin around with the height and width.
Now, we create the label:
so, find:
m_pPlayerHealth->setBgColor( 0,0,0,
255);
m_pPlayerHealth->setContentAlignment( vgui::Label::a_west
);
m_pPlayerHealth->setParent(m_pStatsPanel);
// health
reminder, we are sill in vgui_ScorePanel.cpp
below that block of code, add this:
// weapon name
m_pWeaponName = new Label( "", XRES(5),
YRES(5) , XRES(125), YRES(18) );
m_pWeaponName->setFont(
pSchemes->getFont(hTitleScheme) );
m_pWeaponName->setBgColor( 0,0,0,
255);
m_pWeaponName->setContentAlignment( vgui::Label::a_east
);
m_pWeaponName->setParent(m_pWeaponPanel);
// weapon name
Ok, now we are done with the main part, now all we have to do is keep updating the values, so, find the NewHUD::Update() function.
In that function, locate:
// health
// copy over the health into the variable
sprintf(m_szPlayerHealth, "Health: %d", gHUD.m_Health.m_iHealth);
// update the value to the label
m_pPlayerHealth->setText(m_szPlayerHealth);
// health
After all that, put in this:
// weapon name
// copy over the weapon name into the weapon name variable
sprintf(m_szWeaponName. "%s", gHUD.m_Ammo.m_pWeapon->szName);
// update the label
if (!strcmp(m_szGunName, "weapon_9mmhandgun" )
)
{
m_pWeaponName->setText("Glock");
}
// weapon name
Now, when the server sends the message to the client about what weapon they are carrying, it isn't a pretty looking name. It looks like "weapon_9mmhandgun" for the glock. So, I chose to change this before the weapon label gets displayed. Hence the strcmp. You should be able to add a whole bunch more strcmp's for each weapon in your mod.
Ok, that SHOULD do it. I'm not too sure though, if you find problems, let me know PLEASE. Contact me on ICQ: 114771351 or through e-mail: mailto:mazor@spudgunmod.net?SUBJECT=VGUI Tutorials
Thank you!
