This addon can be installed via the Steam Workshop for Garry's Mod - I do not recommend manually installing this addon via git.
- Create 3D2D text anywhere in the world
- Rotate and manipulate this text simply via your physgun
- Up to 5 lines of text
- Multiple different fonts, font sizes, and colours
- Heavily optimised
- Full scale testing on a highly popular RP server
- Draw distance optimisations
- Minimal FPS hit
- Permanent text screens
- Hold C for context menu, right click on the textscreen, and make the text screen permanent (only works for admins). This is perfect for welcome messages or rules.
- Presets
- Define preset textscreen data (size, text, colours, etc) and save/load these for future use at any time. This is very useful to trying to replicate multiple textscreens across maps.
ss_render_rangecontrols how far textscreens have to be away from you in order to render (default1500). Setting this to a lower number can help with lag on older machinesss_render_rainbowcontrols if rainbow textscreens should actually rotate their colours, or render as solid white (default enabled1).0will cause them to render as solid white, which can be beneficial for accessibility
sbox_maxtextscreenscontrols the maximum amount of text screens that each player can spawn. This defaults to 1. This cvar only exists on the server, so make sure it's set via RCON, or in something like server.cfg.ss_enable_rainbowcontrols whether players on your server can use the rainbow effect. Set this to0in yourserver.cfgto prevent anyone from using rainbow effects.ss_max_characterscontrols whether players on your server can use a lot of characters per lines. Set this toany numberin yourserver.cfgto prevent anyone from using more characters.- To install this onto your server, follow the instructions listed here.
This addon supports a PlayerSpawnTextscreen hook that passes the player context. If this hook returns false, the player will be prevented from spawning a textscreen. For example:
hook.Add("PlayerSpawnTextscreen", "MyCustomTextscreensSpawnFunc", function(ply)
return ply:IsVIP()
end)This addon supports custom permissions via the use of a TextscreensCanAdmin hook. When this hook isn't present, or doesn't return anything, it defaults to an IsSuperAdmin check. If you want to override this behaviour for your own admin permissions, create a hook that exists both server and client side, similar to the following:
hook.Add("TextscreensCanAdmin", "MyCustomAdminFunc", function(ply)
return ply:SteamID() == "STEAM_0:0:43716939"
end)Further information can be found on the Steam Workshop for Garry's Mod or on my website.
