Code: [Select]

draw.DrawText( GetHostName( ), "Default", x, y * 0.01, Color( 255, 255, 255, 120 ), TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT );

Valgoid, in case you're not already when these two are showing you the actual code, you should really look up the functions they're showing you, so you know what the info inside them mean, using the Gmod wiki.
draw.DrawText (http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/draw/DrawText)
draw.SimpleTextOutlined (http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/draw/SimpleTextOutlined)

Hello,
that is not much of an explanation for your problem..Where exactly are you stuck?
Try adding the line Cobalt posted in a clientsided file, preferably in the HUDPaint section! :)

Sorry, but that just makes me suspicious of you. Do you really know lua?
