Flying HUD

[MtnDew]

That might be an awesome idea 

It would work, sure.

But, people could see flying stuff in front of your face.

That would look fun in some kind of way :P

With the text above your head: I'm an roflcopter!

EDIT: How about the preview window control the avatar creator uses? Aren't these .dts too?

Stop asking these tough questions :C

Anything 3D like that is dts. So I suppose so.
:p

You could make a GUI to contain a dts like the avatar creator and have it rotate.

Read AGlass0fMilk's tutorial on the GUI editor (http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=67198.msg1122578)
Just make an gui without an window

Okay, I get it. Is the GUI static or can it be dynamic?

I just lost you..
With static you mean there doesn't change anything? (Like moving stuff or typing in things in a textbox)

You just treat it like a normal GUI, Only you use PlayGui.Add and not PushDialog

[Deathwishez]

By Dynamic, I mean can I have Dynamic, or changing, text/images/etc.

[goz3rr]

You can do with it whatever you can do with normal GUI's, Only there's no background window.

[Deathwishez]

Ah, okay. I guess I'll need to start learning hao2GUI.

[goz3rr]

Use AGlass0fMilk's tut, I learned making GUI's from it:

You will need some knowledge of Torquescript to make your GUI's do something

Aww crap... Scripting and GUI's are the only things I don't know how to do. I guess I need to learn scripting...

[goz3rr]

Well, you just "draw" your gui, no scripting yet, it's the easy part.
If you want to make a button do something, You make the button, Click it, On your right there will be some boxes, One of them is command, Enter DoStuff(); here
Save your gui, and in your script you do this:

Code: [Select]

function doStuff()
{
MessageBoxOK("Cookies4U","You click'd da button :D");
}

I don't have much optimism for this. Plus all the repeated looping you need to update the altitude and speed would slow things down.

Plus you can't even rotate the HUD like I said so it's going to look pretty dumb when you roll and the HUD doesn't.

Can the "HUD" have dynamic text?
