You will first need to create a widget for this overlay. Then you will need to add this widget to screens/playerhud.lua in the CreateOverlays function.

Take a look at the Tropical Experience mod, they add the poison overlay into the game with this code:

Spoiler

AddClassPostConstruct("screens/playerhud",function(inst)
	local PoisonOver = require("widgets/poisonover")
	local fn =inst.CreateOverlays
	function inst:CreateOverlays(owner)
		fn(self, owner)
		self.poisonover = self.overlayroot:AddChild(PoisonOver(owner))
	end
end)

I added an overlay, but because of the knowledge I did not understand how to run it ;D

And yes, for testing I took an overlay from the mod that you suggested to me, for a start I would like to understand how I can run it.
