Additional Notes

• This hook is called for each HUD element.
• Do not confuse this for a think function, this should strictly be used for drawing.
• Careful what you put here, it's run every frame, a lot of code may cause lag.
• This is only run when the swep is active, it will not run when the swep is holstered.
