How to put a sprite into the HUD?

[GLide KS]

Hello, so, i was seeing Lua/Functions, and i cant get it the hud.add function, so, someone explain me or show me how to do make a sprite appear in the HUD.

I think this might belong in Editing help as opposed to just Editing. I'm afraid that I'm not good with Lua so all I can do is point you in a better direction where you might get an answer more quickly. You could also probably try coming onto the irc chat and asking there, you might get a response much more quickly.

Cheers!

As far as My knowledge takes me:

1) It most likely belongs in editing, echoing what Tidbit said

2) Try this Lua Script to render sprites on the HUD:

hud.add(function(v, player)
	//v is the HUD, player is to access the player's variables whilst in the HUD.add function
	local patch = v.cachePatch("ABCDEFGH")
	//v.draw - Draws the patch at the exact pixel size
	v.draw(x pos here, y pos here, patch)
	//v.drawScaled - Draws the patch at a fixed scale (multiply it by FRACUNIT)
	v.drawScaled(X pos here, Y pos here, Scale e.g. 2*FRACUNIT or FRACUNIT/2)
end, "game")
//"game" - renders it to the in-game HUD
//"scores" - Renders it to the in-game Scores HUD

Hope this helps!
