JuggernautOfWar 1 Posted February 7, 2011 Is there some hidden key by any chance that I've missed all through playing OFP, ArmA, and ArmA 2 which disables the HUD temporarily for screenshots? Would be very handy if there were, or even a mod which did this on the fly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmarkwick 261 Posted February 7, 2011 I use Fraps which takes good screenshots on any key you set up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JuggernautOfWar 1 Posted February 7, 2011 I thought that might need some clarifying. :p I meant to ask if there is a key or mod we can use to disable the HUD in-game for screenshots? I'd like to take some nice shots (I use FRAPS already) at full resolution (not cropped), but remove all the nasty HUD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmarkwick 261 Posted February 7, 2011 Ah well I'll try and read/comprehend more in future :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R0adki11 3949 Posted February 7, 2011 can that command be run through the editor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TRexian 0 Posted February 7, 2011 Or an addaction to toggle it.... Maybe have a global boolean to track its state? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dale0404 5 Posted February 7, 2011 What about getting rid of your squad at the bottom of the screen, would that be possible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smurf 12 Posted February 7, 2011 The only way I found to "showhud" work is to add that in the description.ext, which isn´t handy nor can be acessed in any mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JuggernautOfWar 1 Posted February 8, 2011 Is there a way I can bind showhud = 34 or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheHarvesteR 11 Posted February 8, 2011 Doesn't it work through a script called by addAction? One could toggle it by going: showHUD = !showHUD I think... Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JuggernautOfWar 1 Posted February 8, 2011 Ugh too much scripting. I just want to be able to hide it whenever I see something I want to take a picture of in any mission. Scripting it for a specific mission will only allow me to hide the HUD during that specific mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will be able to use it for all SP missions at least Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JuggernautOfWar 1 Posted February 8, 2011 Problem is; I almost exclusively either play MP missions or just derp around in the editor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pooroldspike 129 Posted February 8, 2011 In Game Options> Difficulty> Edit there are several HUD display options which you can Enable/Disable; i've just played about with them but they don't seem to make any difference to anything, beats me (sniffle) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
