Other Post Processing Effects?

Would there be a way to make it so that when you equip a clothing item (e.g: gas mask) it applies a post process effect?
i.e: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=378014558&searchtext=gas+mask on of these?

 

bumpedy bump?

 

I think it might be possible, since for the Combine faction, you get a darkened more gritty overlay. I would recommend looking at the code for that whitelist and seeing if there's anything regarding adding an overlay.

 

huh, didn't think of that, will try!

 

okay, this is what I found
Schema.combineOverlay = Material("effects/combine_binocoverlay");
p sure this is it, but firstly.
I want it to only happen when you equip an item, i.e a gas mask
and two, I don't want it to be just for the combine faction seen as I won't be using the combine faction.

 

I think there's a line of code you can add into items when you equip them to call the function to add on that overlay.

I don't know the exact line of code needed however.

 

we really need a library of all this shit, wish the wiki was an actual thing.

 

We're looking at that in the rear view mirror buddy.

 

its not nearly complete tho
anyway, anyone know how to do the thing Knight just suggested?
I'm sure it exists as the Nebulous and Lemonpunch gasmasks used to put an overlay on the screen when u equipped them.

 

Nevermind!
One of my friends told me its a part of the armor plugin for anyone who was wondering here it is.

Code:

-- Called when gasmask screen space effects should be rendered.
function PLUGIN:RenderScreenspaceEffects()
    local hasGasmask = Clockwork.Client:GetSharedVar("HasGasmask");
    if (hasGasmask and Clockwork.Client:GetFaction() != FACTION_MPF) then
        local health = LocalPlayer():Health();
       
        if (health <= 20) then
            DrawMaterialOverlay("effects/gasmask_screen_4.vmt", 0.1);
        elseif(health <= 30) then
            DrawMaterialOverlay("effects/gasmask_screen_3.vmt", 0.1);
        elseif(health <= 60) then
            DrawMaterialOverlay("effects/gasmask_screen_2.vmt", 0.1);
        elseif(health <= 90) then
            DrawMaterialOverlay("effects/gasmask_screen_1.vmt", 0.1);
        else
            DrawMaterialOverlay("effects/gasmask_screen.vmt", 0.1);
        end;
    end;
end;
