I saw other peoples povs where they had like a speedo thing and was wondering how they got it, nice work

is there a way too make it track only horizontal//x axis movement? That's what most people are looking for, to begin with, and without it, it's virtually impossible to actually know what speed you're at.

i dont believe so. the current vmt that the speedometer uses is made with a "material proxy" and looks like this:

"UnlitGeneric"
{
	"$basetexture" "vgui/replay/thumbnails/numbers"
	"$translucent" 1
	"$vertexcolor" 1
	"$no_fullbright" 1
	"$ignorez" 1
	"$speed" 0
	Proxies {
		PlayerSpeed {
			scale 1
			resultVar $speed
		}
		Clamp {
			min 0
			max 9999
			srcVar1 $speed
			resultVar $frame
		}
	}
}

right now it just takes the vmt proxy "PlayerSpeed" and if you have a look in this list of material proxies there doesnt appear to be an alternative that gets only horizontal speed.

cannot get it to work on deli hud neue, though i could just have a derpy setting

having the same issue, cant get it to work with sayo2 i also tried some of the other huds that were on the github that already had it and those didnt work either

got it to work by moving it i guess?

I did this about 6 months ago and have streamed with it + sent it around; I'm surprised someone else made one independently.

You don't need to have 10000 frames since you can do each digit individually with some arithmetic.

Here's the proof-of-concept which I've been using, no comically large textures needed:

The speed you get from the material proxy is an absolute speed, so there is no way to convert it into components and make an x/z-only speedometer like the speedo plugins in jump servers. There's a PlayerPosition material proxy which you can split into components, but it's ultimately not useful since there's no way to take the derivative using material proxy math.

nvm waldo's version fixed my issues

how come waldo's one works but the other one doesn't? same thing for me, couldn't get the original one to show no matter what i did with the positions and size

im not a hud editing expert or anything, so i dont really know. most editing i did also places the speedometer in a separate file and has hudplayerhealth load it using #base, but i assumed it didnt matter. all i know is i can get it working myself in the huds i upkeep. the other speedometer might be better anyways, since it takes up less space. i've edited the original post to include the step of creating a second file.

I assume the main problem comes from pasting the element inside HudPlayerHealth.res, in many HUDs that panel is not set to cover the whole screen so the speedometer could very easily endup off screen, I would suggest pasting it inside HudPlayerClass.res instead as it is basically the same thing but in 99% of the HUDs it covers the whole screen.

i made some better looking numbers for waldo's version

i think this game needs a pedometer rather than a speedometer

computers aren't using 128 bits yet bro

yo is there anyway to change the font numbers???

Does anyone have this version?

what if our hud already has a materials folder

Unsure if I'm doing something wrong, but editing speedometer.vmt doesn't seem to work at all.

im using m0rehud and im trying to get speedometer into my hud, but it doesnt work. is it because tf2 updated or only quakehud can apply this plugin

hey all, i use toon hud and editing speedometer.vmt doesnt work either. instead, i add the color thing to numbers.vmt
its in the same file as speedometer.vmt. paste your "$color" "{ 255 255 255 }" there and you can change your alpha. i got this because it says in the speedometer.vmt folder -
"$basetexture" "vgui/replay/thumbnails/numbers" so yeah i just put the color in numbers.vmt.

Hey, how do I fix it showing up without a texture.

how to change font numbers? I appreciate any advice.

this is sick ty
