How do you create a hud element?

Vulture Aid

As the title suggests, I want to know the function of a hud element in zombies that displays a counter from a variable

Kalitos

@Vulture-Aid You can create it using this:

self.Text = createFontString ("Objective", 1.7); // Only client-- to Server Message use createServerFontString
self.Text setPoint ("CENTER", "TOP", 300, "CENTER"); // Position
self.Text setText ("Your text here"); // Message

@Kalitos Can you specify the arguments for createFontString() and setPoint()?

@Vulture-Aid createFontString(font, fontScale), setPoint(point, relativePoint, x, y).

font has a few different options like "default", and "objective". fontScale is self explanatory, it's the scale of the font lol.

point and relativePoint are a bit different though. There's "CENTER", "TOP", "BOTTOM", "LEFT", "RIGHT", "TOPRIGHT", "TOP_RIGHT", "TOPLEFT", "TOP_LEFT", "TOPCENTER", "BOTTOM RIGHT", "BOTTOM_RIGHT", "BOTTOM LEFT", "BOTTOM_LEFT".
You can kind of think of these as anchors. If I made a HUD with points "RIGHT", "RIGHT" and I appended text to it constantly, the HUD would grow to the left to maintain its position on the right.
