Try this:

+ Code Snippet

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=0,hudy=0,hudimagefine=gamecore\huds\wat.png,hudname=new,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10
:state=10,plrdistwithin=60:hudshow=new,activate=2
:state=10,activated=2:state=1,setframe=0,timerstart,sound=$0
:state=1:incframe=0
:state=1,frameatend=0,timergreater=6000:state=2
:state=2:hudfadeout=new,state=3

I don't know if that'll do what you're looking for, but the reason it stayed black forever is your last line had a comma, which needed to be a colon.

Pigs:

hudname is an internal function. You don't give a file extension
