Custom voice chat box

[iViscosity]

Hey guys, I'm using the Voice Visualizer (found here) and I was wondering if there is a way to add a new line to the box. I want it to display someone's rank under their name in the voice chat box, and right now I have this:

Code: Lua

1.  
2. local groups = {
3.    { "trial", "Trial Staff" },
4.    { "staff", "Staff" },
5.    { "operator", "Operator" },
6.    { "admin",    "Admin" },
7.    { "headadmin",  "Head Admin" },
8.    { "superadmin",  "Super Admin" },
9.    { "viptier1", "VIP Tier 1" },
10.    { "viptier2", "VIP Tier 2" },
11.    { "viptierex", "VIP Tier Executive" },
12.    { "user", "Guest" }
13.  
14.  
15. }
16.  
17.  
18. -- Cut out other code here
19.  
20.  
21.  
22.  
23.  
24. function PANEL:VVPaint(w, h)
25.     if not IsValid(self.ply) or not self:Valid() then return end
26.     draw.RoundedBox(4, 0, 0, w, h, vv.BackgroundColor(self, self.ply))
27.    
28.     for i,v in pairs(self.Past) do
29.         local barh = v * vv.BarHeightMultiplier
30.         local barcolor = self:GetBarColor(v * 100)
31.         surface.SetDrawColor(barcolor)
32.         surface.DrawRect(35 + i * (vv.BarDistance + vv.SingleBarWidth), 36 - barh, vv.SingleBarWidth, barh)
33.     end
34.    
35.     -- Draw Name
36.     surface.SetFont(vv.NameFont(self, self.ply))
37.     local w,h = surface.GetTextSize(self.ply:Nick())
38.    
39.     surface.SetTextColor(vv.NameColor(self, self.ply))
40.     surface.SetTextPos(40, 40/2 - h/2)
41.     surface.DrawText(self.ply:Nick())
42.  
43.  
44.     local ply = LocalPlayer()
45.     local group = ply:GetUserGroup()
46.  
47.  
48.     surface.SetTextColor( Color( 255, 255, 255 ) )
49.     for k,v in pairs( groups ) do -- This I added
50.        
51.         if ply:IsUserGroup( v[1] ) then
52.            
53.             if v[1] == "superadmin" or "admin" then
54.  
55.  
56.                 surface.DrawText( "[*" .. v[2] .. "]" )
57.  
58.  
59.             else
60.  
61.  
62.                 surface.DrawText( "[" .. v[2] .. "]" )
63.  
64.  
65.             end
66.  
67.  
68.         end
69.        
70.     end -- End of what I added
71.  
72. end

And right now it shows the avatar, name, and rank, but it shows the rank directly next to the name. Is there any way I can do this without having to re-write the voice chat box to make it larger?


I've tried using "\n[" but that doesn't work.

Pretty sure, no, you'll need a bigger box.
That being said, you may have the box auto adjust if you get the group text first, add it to and figure out how to have the following code line adjust horizontally

Code: [Select]

    local w,h = surface.GetTextSize(self.ply:Nick())
I'm sure someone much more experienced with GUI here could, and hopefully eventually will, help, if you're unable to figure out by tinkering on your own.
