DeleoOne 17 Posted December 27, 2018 As the title stated above, I've been having a hard time trying to create or find a way to make an addon for creating a custom HUD's for custom helmets.I want to add a health bar, Motion detector(like from halo), ammo bar and compass to this HUD. Any methods, suggestions or tutorials? Any and all help will be appreciated. I'll credit those who give any help in my addon! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeleoOne 17 Posted January 5, 2019 ? That was my next question and this! This is crazy amazing. Exactly what ive been looking for! Would there be anyway that i myself would be able to change the font and or location of specific HUD locations i.e. like moving the compass to the top screen, and make a mini map of enemies and friendlies like this? Keep that talent going GEORGE FLOROS, Thank you again! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207 Posted January 5, 2019 Everything will be configurable , from the main options inside the script , position on screen , fonts etc. It would be even better though, to have the ability to adjust this with dialog settings in game. - I haven't edit any dialogs before , so i can't do that for now , but you could check if you want to experiment with, in order to include this as well. Just an idea ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to know for everything that i can help i'm here ! For the HUD script that i gave you once it's done i will add a post here as well ! If in any case you manage to finish the HUD script , just let me now , in order to fix my version as well ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
