Hi all, I'm looking for some advice on creating a clickable 'interface' for when a player uses a computer terminal in my game.

I have two leads for doing this:

a) creating a HUD graphic and using the hudmake=pointer command somehow?

or

b) teleporting the player to an area set out like a computer interface and enabling the player to 'click' on items by shooting them with an invisible gun.

In both versions I think having roll-over states for the buttons is important.

For me to get option B to work (my most promising lead so far) it would be good if there was a condition that checked to see if the player was targeting an entity.

All suggestions gladly welcomed

settargetreticle would work if you are using Ply's Mod v1.07. otherwise I'm just not sure what to do in your position.

Technically you can make one of these without a Mod, however, I recall running into issues with the official versions way of doing things. If a HUD is hidden, it can still be clicked, which means that you will still be able to click buttons previously made even though they aren't visible.


The one and only,
