Monkeys 1 Posted February 11, 2012 Hey guys, I'm playing Combined Ops with ACE/ACRE and all that realistic military sim shit. My question is; how can I hide EVERYTHING temporarily just to take screenshots? I.e; the weapon names at the top right, chat bottom left, objective markers, etc. Anything that wouldn't appear in a real life photography? Preferably something I can toggle on and off in real time since usually I'm actually playing with my squad, not just walking around talking screenshots. Thanks!

ArmAriffic 10 Posted February 11, 2012 i'm pretty sure that would be in the ACE\difficulty settings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monkeys 1 Posted February 11, 2012 Isn't there a button or a key or a console command (is there such thing as a console on Arma 2?) to just toggle it off and back on? Not permanently, just for a few seconds while I'm taking screenshots and/or a few minutes while taking a video without needing to restart the game or whatnot?

Monkeys 1 Posted February 12, 2012 I assume the lack of answer implies there's no easy to toggle the HUD on and OFF while playing the game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1733 Posted February 12, 2012 No, no easy way. Really the best way is to frame what you want, make sure you're holding a grenade, or put the muzzle of the gun down, and zoom out a bit, then take your picture and crop the edges and the HUD out using your favourite image editor.

Create a trigger, repeatable, radio alpha activation. Write this in the on activation line : player exec "camera.sqs" If you wanna launch the camera, type 0-0-1 Then, when you wanna exit the camera, type the ironsight view (which, for me, isn't V but numpad 0). This will make you exit the camera mode and control your character back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
