I had huge problems with ImagePanel etc... in the end just gave up and did what I have here. I was probably missing something simple but I just stuck with what was vaguely working lol.
To fix the obstruction problem, add this to your texture VMTs "$ignorez" 1 Or it could be something else if you already have this I suppose --------------------------------------- Chris Adams -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kamran Sent: 11 August 2005 00:34 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] HUD element problem Ah I see. For my HUD I use BG images (health bar, enemy health, etc.) and I just use an ImagePanel to display an image, lol, only a few lines of code (like, 5). Though, for some reason, if up close to a wall, the image gets obstructed... like a section of it is colliding with the wall.
