HUD and dialogs

[tacticalnuggets 24]

Can somebody help me understand how to make a basic HUD that would show west score, east score, and time (assuming these are all global variables). I don't know much about dialogs and they seem to be confusing when you want them to work on different aspect ratios while still staying on the edges of the screen.

Pointing me to some tutorial or showing me here is fine either way, thanks.

This is the tutorial that I started with.

http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action=details&id=586&game=ArmA

here is the wiki on dialogs:

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Dialogs

I would use that and make a few test dialogs, "hello worlds" etc. Till you are comfortable with the basics. Past that there are not many tutorials just due to the complexities of dialogs. The way I learned past that starter tutorial was opening other dialogs to see how they worked and trial and error. If you run into a brick wall you can post a specific question and someone can usually help you.

Once you are a little comfotable with how they work you can use this to make the processes faster(but you still need to know what your doing to use this):

And I will give you an example of one of my working dialogs (with code below):

[celery 8]

Take a look at my PVP template's hud:

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14421

Relevant stuff in description.ext and cly_hud.sqf.

[roguetrooper 2]

Starting off with dialogs can be quite a fun... since it envolves description.ext that makes the whole game crash to the desktop when a single letter/number/symbol is wrong or missing or displaced.

[CarlGustaffa 4]

Also peek around in existing missions on hints on how to use what. I also suggest getting a good texteditor (UltraEdit/Notepad++) so you can follow text in files to other files with ease.
