Cannot override HUD

**fladur** · 01-13-2010, 11:30 AM

Hello

I'm kind of stuck with my code, i managed to create a third person camera I actually like, but i cannot override the HUD

I'm trying to override my HUD in my PlayerController that extends UTPLayerController by overriding

Code:

/* This code comes from UDN, i need to update it later to draw what I want */
function DrawHUD( HUD H )
{
	local float CrosshairSize;
	super.DrawHUD(H);

	H.Canvas.SetDrawColor(0,255,0,255);

	CrosshairSize = 4;

	H.Canvas.SetPos(H.CenterX - CrosshairSize, H.CenterY);
	H.Canvas.DrawRect(2*CrosshairSize + 1, 1);

	H.Canvas.SetPos(H.CenterX, H.CenterY - CrosshairSize);
	H.Canvas.DrawRect(1, 2*CrosshairSize + 1);
}

It doesn't matters if I remove

Code:

super.DrawHUD(H);

But it still draws with the standar one, any ideas?

Thanks in advanced

As I understand it, You can(should) only draw on/update the HUD.canvas during the PostRender() event in an extended HUD class. I am not sure it is possible from within the controller class.

HUDs are set in the gametype code. Check the default properties of GameInfo for instance.

Ok, so when i create my Custom HUD by extending the HUD class i have to load it using, defaultproperties in my GameType just the way i load my character controller?
