[CS:GO] Create panel without blocking slot keys

diablix · **Author**

Hello, I am trying to create a panel without preventing user from changing the weapons using "slotx" keys. The effect I am looking for is to create panel showing certain data but not acting like a menu (so I can switch weapons).

First question, is this even possible to make?

bind separate keys to menuselect.

As I recall, Panels and Menus are both radio menus by default. So... any change to one would affect the other, including the client-side workaround Mitchell suggested.

The older, Valve-style menus can be used as well, but those panels don't show up unless you hit Esc (and do those even work on CS:GO?)

Hmm maybe there is some kind of offset or function that would let me force weapon slot on player? So I can use menu keys to switch weapon as well!

If this method is not possible, how can I create a "note" ? I am trying to show certain stats when player is alive. There is no HUD so I am wondering how to make such a thing. I don't wanna use
PrintHintText because it is so limited.

So to just get a little bit more information straight of what you're using this for...
You want a panel to be able to display information to the player without needing them to have an input to the panel (possibly still an exit button, slot10)
Not too certain if CS:GO locks slot keys when a panel is displayed. I.E.. a panel with just a title and only spacers/fill text buttons, they wont add slot binds to the buttons
If this is the case then there might be just a very little that you could do.

I am mainly looking for a method to display information to player like you said but not in the center of screen. Since there is no HUD or some other messages (like there were statusvalue in 1.6) is this even possible?
