Adding custom content

First of all it's highly recommended to use the built-in add-ons folder that comes with the addon. This is because the script will load any files inside that folder just after loading the HUD resources so no errors will appear.

To do this, you've got to put your custom scripts in the folder:

lua/autorun/cofhud/add-ons

Inside your own addon folder, or just directly into the garrysmod folder, but it's recommended to separate your scripts in addons.

Adding ammo icons

There are two types of icons per ammo type:

• Bullet icon: It's the icon shown in the clip indicator.
  • It's highly recommended to NOT make the texture higher than 126px.
• Ammo icon: It's the icon shown below the clip indicator.
  • It's recommended to give it a maximum size of 32x32px.

Now, the methods to add ammo types to the mix are:

COFHUD:AddBulletIcon(ammoType, texture, w, h, isMaterial);

COFHUD:AddAmmoIcon(ammoType, texture, w, h, isMaterial);

ammoType: Ammo type name

texture: Either an Material or a Texture object

w: Texture width

h: Texture height

isMaterial: Whether the texture is a Material object or not
