Screen overlay in CS:GO?

XHeadHunterX · **Author**

I have a script to show an overlay in CS:GO but it doesn't work because it requires r_drawscreenoverlay to bet set to one but it has to be set clienside. Is there a way to bypass it or another way to show an overlay? This is the message I get when I try to force r_drawscreenoverlay to 1 :

PHP Code:


			
****** CViewRender::PerformScreenOverlay: Screen overlay wants to render, but it’s been disabled!

FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE prevented server running command: r_drawscreenoverlay

You cant show overlays in cs:go.

CS:S & CS:GO seems to be really lacking coders friendly attitude.
- CS:S No Hud Text Support
- CS:GO - No Hud Text Support & Overlays

You can however make a model infront of the player and attach a env_sprite to that model as a make-shift overlay. Very hackish. also wont fit-to-screen of the client.

No he was just pointing out that cs:s and cs:go were made with out specific features so it would make the gameplay 'better' in the means of the player so they arent spammed with HUD text. Which is utter bullshit if you ask me.
