I am in the middle of trying to make a working HUD which shows just armor and health and the current minute but this is what I have got so far.

surface.CreateFont( "Font1", {
	font = "Arial", -- Use the font-name which is shown to you by your operatorating system.
	size = 100,
	weight = 500,
	blursize = 0,
	scanlines = 0,
	antialias = true,
	underline = false,
	italic = false,
	strikeout = false,
	symbol = false,
	rotary = false,
	shadow = false,
	additive = false,
	outline = false,		
} )


hook.Add("HUDPaint" , "DrawMyHud" , function()

	local Health = LocalPlayer():Health()
	local Armor = LocalPlayer():Armor()

	draw.RoundedBox(0,1570,970,400,200,Color(80,80,80))
	draw.RoundedBox(0,1580,980,400,100,Color(40,40,40))
	draw.RoundedBox(0,1600,1000,Health * 3,30,Color(225,120,120))
	draw.RoundedBox(0,1600,1040,Armor * 3,30,Color(120,120,225))

	end)

One thing to watch out for with HUDs is how they scale on lower resolutions. Put your resolution down to the lowest and it'll take up 80% of your display lol. Using ScrW() and ScrH() gets you the current screen width and height respectively which you can use as a multiplier to make a good scale for all resolutions.	.uzi Offline Former Community Manager Foos yer doos?

local function Scale(s, h)
	local devw = 1080 --Development width
	local devh = 1920 --Development height
	
	return s * (h and (ScrH() / devw) or (ScrW() / devh))
end
