Light weight status HUD

Download

Here's a light weight status HUD I made for the lower right corner of the screen.

FIX #1: Direction indicator works with vehicles now too.

FIX #2: Camera Zoom now works with vehicles. Included installation readme. Took out un-needed bits of code and cleaned up the scripts in general. For people who may want to learn from this.

FIX #3: Users now have the ability to toggle the status HUD on/off with Page Down. (f2k-Sel)

Thanks for sharing Iceman77.

I like the health feature and the direction control.

What would be awesome is to have showing type of weapon and ammostatus instead of the map.

but great work in any case..

Hey. Yeah, I was going to add those features too. I still may. This HUD is a small part of a game mode I'm working on. So, in another UI, weapon and ammo status is already shown, so that stuff wasn't needed. You're the author of the A2 crcti? Maybe i can make you a custom hud then?

Very nice !

It's great I like the simple ones as you can take them apart and see how it works.

The only thing I'd change would be to replace the Zoom triggers with a single keypress to cycle through each resolution, or key press and mouse scroll.

hmm. How to do this? I know rsctitles / displays can't be interacted with.. for the most part. Unless I could do a shortcut for the zoom somehow?

Ignore me I was thinking of something else.

...You're the author of the A2 crcti? Maybe i can make you a custom hud then?

I would appreciate this.

Look forward for it to be up on Six.

thank you so much for this! i was struggling to find a satisfying way to make my own HUD and this is exactly what i needed.

an example without unneeded clutter that i can modify and learn from. thank you! thank you! thank you!

Yeah definitely easier to learn without to much going on in the ui / scripts. I made it pretty straight forward, which is nice. I will update it as soon as I find a way to toggle the status HUD on/off. If you find a way first let me know :). I may have to look into rubber kites wf to see how to toggle the hud controls/class. Anyhow, it's a bit of a learning process for me atm aswell.

Just remove the []Spawn ICE_HUD; the end of HUD.sqf and when you want to run it just use []Spawn ICE_HUD; in script or null=[]Spawn ICE_HUD; in a trigger.

To turn it off cutRsc ["default", "PLAIN"];

Works for me anyway

Hey thanks! Gonna try this asap.

ahh yes, default works nicely here!

If you add this to the init.sqf file you can open and close the Hud by pressing pagedown key.

(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "pr = player getvariable ['press',true];keyp=(_this select 1);if (keyp==209 and pr) then {[] spawn ICE_HUD;player setvariable ['press',false];} else {if (keyp==209) then {cutRsc ['default','PLAIN'];player setvariable ['press',true]}}"];

FIX #3: Users now have the ability to toggle the status HUD on/off with Page Down. Thanks to F2k-Sel.

Hey, I'm trying to get this to work with my insurgency mission, but when I try to use it it says that RscTitles are already defined, so I moved the content of that to common/resources/titles.hpp, it fixes the RscTitles problem, but after that an error pops up saying that IceBaseBOXHUD isn't defined. I move the #include "common/resources/titles.hpp" above HUD.hpp, but that didn't work.

it should look better

Hi! I only cared about functionality at the time. I really appreciate the snippet though, thankyou very much.
