Additional Notes
- The parameter Texture is the material path of the texture that you want to retrieve.
- The file path is relative to the folder "materials". This means you do not have to include "materials/" in the file path.
- The error "Could not find VGui Material" means that a VTF file is missing its VMT file.
- The file extension must not be included.
Example:
A texture file is located at garrysmod/materials/custom/my_texture.vtf You would then use the following piece of code to retrieve it:
surface.GetTextureID("custom/my_texture")
