Removing The HUD

[Smoot178 10]

I am looking for something simple to just turn the HUD off. I want to film some stuff and it's hard to with the HUD in the way.

Thanks.

Edit: BTW I'll have my own map so I can use init commands and stuff.

I too am looking for the same question, considering I asked smoot to do so. I would like to know how to do this.

I would gladly answer if this was in the right section

OR

maybe you want to create your own ADDON to remove the HUD?

[Apocal 10]

Try looking into "camera.sqs" (use L to remove the crosshair) and see if that does what you need to do.

[PuFu 4600]

you can do 2 things:

1. write down showHud false - write it down in description.ext. Will remove all HUD elements

2. use camera.sqs, press L to remove cursor, and use showCinemaBorder false in a trigger to remove the black up and down wide screen border

err so i create a description.ext file and just type in showhud false? it did nothing though.

I am also interested in this.

A bit late to answer now I expect but I believe it should be: showHud = false

anyone?

Open your 'Description.ext'

Enter this without the quotation marks "showHud = false;" on it's own line.

There ya go, just tested it myself :p

i been trying to do that but when i put the showHud = false in the description.ext the game crashes when im launching the mission in the editor

Maybe "false" isn't defined. Try = 0;

It's a command, not a description property.

Put the following in either initialization line of some unit, on activation line of a trigger or init.sqf:

showHud false
