I know you can with ply's mod there are scripting commands for it., do you want them to always be gone, or just at cartain times? If you want them to always be gone I know there is a way with stock, but I can't help you there.

*slap!*
Quiet yourself, think before posting, and maybe you won't be as ignorant as you seem.

Or if you want to hide/show on the fly with another script, why don't you just give them a "hudname" and then "unshow" and "show" them like any other hud?

plystire and conjured,none of your theories worked,neither hudunshow=1 or hudunshow=lives worked.i added the hudname=lives ect. to the lines in the setuplevel.fpi but the hud is still visible,maybe i will have to make a 16:9 effect so a black rectangle appears over those huds?

That's not necessary. I've been able to hide the huds doing that for a long time now in the official versions. Make sure you are hiding both the HUD and the NUMERIC HUD for the lives. There are two for each of the counters you see up there.

I'm not going to argue with you to help you.
I showed you which ones to comment out and I know for a fact that it does work, IF you comment out the right ones.

@Plystire
Maybe you got confused (

)because he asked about hiding the huds not showing them.
So, naming them is useless in this case, but yeah that would be nice if he had asked for that.

The six semicolons to comment out the huds is the easiest way to hide the main huds, and it does work.

If you want to hide a HUD by using the "hudunshow" command, then the HUD needs a name. I thought maybe someone would have liked to know that they could both hide and show the main HUDs on the fly like this, but I guess not.

@djmaster:

For each of the numbers shown on the top of the screen, there is a picture it shows which is the text as well as the number itself. These are two seperate huds and will both need a name and both hidden seperately.

Here's an example from the setuplevel.fpi that I use.

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=5,hudy=5,hudimage=languagebankenglishgamecorehudslives.tga,hudname=PlrLives,hudmake=display
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=4,hudy=8,hudsizex=16,hudsizey=16,hudimage=gamecorehudsnumeric1.tga,hudname=PlrLivesNum,hudtype=1,hudmake=numeric
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=15,hudy=5,hudimage=languagebankenglishgamecorehudshealth.tga,hudname=PlrHealth,hudmake=display
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=14,hudy=8,hudsizex=16,hudsizey=16,hudimage=gamecorehudsnumeric1.tga,hudname=PlrHealthNum,hudtype=2,hudmake=numeric
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=85,hudy=8,hudimage=gamecorehudsammo.tga,hudname=GunPic,hudtype=3,hudmake=status

Now... in a script in the game (on some entity or marker) I use the following script to hide your Lives HUD AND it's accompanying numeric HUD:

+ Code Snippet

:state=0:hudunshow=PlrLives,hudunshow=PlrLivesNum,state=1

If you just want the HUDs to be gone forever, do what CoZ and Conjured have said.
