[Edited]:Hud Message Position & register_forward

thebobjones34 · **Author**

Okay is it possible to find the X position of the last char displayed on a hud message? Like if i displayed.... Welcome to my Server!i would be able to find the x position of the "!". I mean counting the characters then adding so many pixels isn't every accurate.

Now when it says in the func wiki...

Quote:

register_forward - Registers a forward in the HL engine
This will hook a function in the HL engine or mod DLL and forward it to a function in an AMXx plugin.

I know that does not mean any function in the HL Engine. So um exactly how much power does that have?

HL coordinates span from 0 to 1. There are no pixels.
There is no hook that can help you with what you want. You can however find out the start position of that text using register_message.
Check with fakemeta docs on what hooks are available and how to use them. As a side-note: not all engine functions can be hooked.
