Zpos should be the same as a panel. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Harris Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 3:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Creating A Informational VGUI Panel that sits below the hud.
Is there a way to setup my hud element to be the first hud element rendered? I want it first so it looks like it is from within the game and not vgui because if it is above other huds in rendering then it will be on top of the elements if for instance you see a player chatting where the health indicator is.

Why not just use a hud panel? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Harris Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 4:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [hlcoders] Creating A Informational VGUI Panel that sits below the hud. This is a multipart message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hello, I have been having some issues with getting a blank panel to show in the manner I want. I have been trying to use ViewportPanel system, but the problem is that I need my panel to be blank, take no input, and sit below the hud. With the viewport panel if I have a blank panel with MouseInput disabled, the mouse still is pulled from the game. I use PaintBackground overridden to {} to achieve empty effect, but some reason I still see transparent blackness on top of the whole screen. (My panel does take up a whole screen). Here is an explanation of what I want to do so that maybe someone knows the best way to achieve it. I am writing a system that takes chat and converts it into a chat bubble panel which I would like to display on a panel that is sitting below the hud. I convert coordinates from world to screen space and use some trigonometry to make my chat bubbles look less identical (vary both the tails and the origin of each bubble based on its player chat bubble hierarchy with sine and sine of sine). The only problem I have is getting a proper panel that works in the manner I want so that I can display my chat bubble panels to this panel. If anyone has any insight into a way I could accomplish this I would love to hear from you.
