Division style GUI?

[SnowSky 12]

Hey guys,
while watching the division trailers,
I thought something like the weapon/inventory display can be done also in ArmA and might look cool (well, it looks neat but isn't very comfortable perhaps)!​

Well, I made a simplistic script.
It shows you the items on your back, and your gun, firerate, ammo (and compatible ammos) etc on your front right.

There are some things that seem to be harder to manage ( for example some kind of 3D Text/Dialog perhaps impossible ).
Other things like the position of the dialogs might be better if calculated also with the CamPosition or something like that (so that the dialog doesn't ghost through your body).

 

 

For those who might be interested:

ASS_GUI = player spawn {
	sleep 1;
	
	disableSerialization;
	_display = findDisplay 46;
	_display ctrlCreate ["RscStructuredText", 998];
	_display ctrlCreate ["RscStructuredText", 999];

	arm_logic = "logic" createVehicleLocal [0,0,0];
	backpack_logic = "logic" createVehicleLocal [0,0,0];

	arm_logic attachTo [player, [1,1.5,-.2], "Pelvis"];
	backpack_logic attachTo [player, [0.1,-.2,.1], "Pelvis"];

	[ "Arms", "onEachFrame", {
		_unit = _this;

Maybe a bit of transparent background behind the text, because Arma light (sky for example) will interfere, and make it unreadable. 

 

And: showHUD [true,false,true,true,true,false,true,false];

 

False for vehicle/soldier info, with weapons info, so it's not shown. 

False for cursors (Well because... I don't like cursors :P) 

 

That'll do the last bit of it, great idea, although my std Arma 3 interface looks more or less the same, just with the original UI, re-arranged to suit me best.
