Mutator to replace HUD

There is a beautiful link there but it doesn't work.

I need to do a mutator that replaces JCoopZ1's hud for another one. So far attempts have been incredibly futile and information on attempting anything like this is non-existant.

Except "create a new gametype", which is not possible for it to work with JCoopZ1.

The link being dead, I'm kind of just looking for information on this.

This can absolutely be done.

here is a replacer example

you need to subclass jzHUD with your hud and compile against jcoopz1.u
( its possible for class hud)

Then adapt this code to set the hud:



PlayerPawn(Owner).myHUD = spawn(class'mymod.myHUDj', PlayerPawn(Owner));




I have a example mod here of a pickup that can toggle between the jzhud and a custom one, if you want i can pm it but it is not mine so i dont have the authority to give any one permision to reuse it.

Thanks for the help, but you're confusing me a bit.

I'm not sure what to do. The replacer makes sense but on its own doesn't work with JCoopZ1.

I'm not sure what you're telling me to do with a subclass of jzhud.

I'd like to take a look at that item you have to toggle between the huds, I'm not going to use it but I just want to see how its done, so I can figure this out.

You need to write your customl hud so that it expands jcoopz1's JZHUD class , not HUD or somehing. otherwise jcoopz wont let it change as the normal hud class is lacking important custom variables that jzhud has.

Alright, thanks for that and the PM. I'll check that out tomorrow.
