Re: [hlcoders] Difference between Hammer-created and Code-created VGUIs
Ah, ok. So I specify my own custom panel in the RES file and the rest happens in the code for that custom panel. Makes sense. But what are the 2 ents that I would combine into a prefab?

Re: [hlcoders] Difference between Hammer-created and Code-created VGUIs
Sorry, I'm not sure I know what you mean. If I create a vgui_screen in Hammer, how do I go about coding the functionality? And, what is the difference of this approach with the other approach of doing everything in code?

[hlcoders] Difference between Hammer-created and Code-created VGUIs
Hi all, I followed the turorial at [1] and now I have a panel in my map. Later on, I found the tuorials at [2] and [3], which seem to explain how to do the same thing using code instead of Hammer. So, what's the difference between these two ways? I'm trying to have an LCD touchscreen in my map where the player can always go and click buttons to get information and click other buttons to make decisions (which alter global state). Basically like a (simple) simulated PC desktop application running within the map. What's the best way fo going about this? Also, I need to store some global state to make this work and I'm thinking of using a logical entity. Is this the right approach? Thanks in advance!
