OBS Lua Rust Streamers: A Zero-Delay Map Hiding OBS Script 1.1

OBS Map Cover Script for Rust

A Lua script for OBS Studio that instantly hides your map in Rust when pressing designated hotkeys. This script provides better response time and a bug-fix for flickering, ensuring your map is hidden immediately when needed.

Features

• Instantly shows/hides a cover image when holding G or Shift+G
• Includes a slight delay on release to prevent the map from flashing
• Persists hotkey settings between OBS sessions
• Simple setup process

Requirements

• OBS Studio (version 27.0.0 or newer is required)
• A cover image source set up in OBS

Installation

1. Download the `rust-obs-map-hide.lua` script.
2. In OBS Studio, go to Tools -> Scripts.
3. Click the + button and select the downloaded script.
4. Configure the script settings (see Setup below).

Setup

1. In OBS, create an image source that will cover your map (e.g., a solid color image). Position it over your map area and make sure it's hidden by default.
2. In the Scripts window, enter the exact name of your image source. Make sure it matches perfectly (it's case-sensitive).
3. Go to Settings -> Hotkeys.
   • Find "Show Map Cover (Hold G)" and set it to `G`.
   • Find "Show Map Cover (Hold Shift+G)" and set it to `Shift+G`.
   • Click Apply.

Usage

• Hold `G` or `Shift+G` to show the cover image.
• Release the key to hide it.
