Hi everybody,

Is there a tutorial of how to create some overlays and use them with SP (CSS/CSGO)? If not, I'd much appreciate it if someone could write on :D

Thanks y'all!

What do you mean by overlays? Screen overlays? If so, you just execute a client command
r_screenoverlay <path to vmt-file>
To remove overlay, you execute
r_screenoverlay off

Exactly! Thanks a bunch. How can I set their position?

I'm afraid you can't. VMT-file will be stretched and fill the whole screen. Plus you only can set one overlay at a time. Might look into env_screenoverlay entity too.
Basically if you want a red circle in the bottom right, you create 1920x1080 overlay, draw a circle in the bottom right and pray client doesn't have 4:3 resolution.
