Ok I have been looking for a solution everywhere and havent yet found one. I am trying to make a custom ammo hud that shows pictures instead of numerics. For this I am trying to make it special to each gun (example: Shotgun= shotgun shells disapear with every shot, same with rifles but only with bullets instead.) I have already mad some DDS images but still cant figure out how to make this work, any help??

Ok go to files\languagebank\english\gamebank\mygame\levelsetup

You'll notice the first several lines define the default huds. i.e. health, ammo,weapon, etc

What you'll have to do is write a script that displays the hud you'd like. You'll have to do an image for each round fired.
and have a line for each round fired. YOull also have to change the numeric hud for the ammo to display an image hud.

Look here I did a similar hud with health. I did it a little different I deleted most of the stock hud definition lines and added my own. I have eight huds each displayed when the health gets between a certain range. Whats cool is you can also add the setposteffect command when the player health gets say below 25.

While going over the setup level script I noticed that these numerics/huds are made for the entire level and my problem is trying to making them show up for certain guns. How can I change images for different style guns because I dont want to have shotgun shells for a sniper.

Great health effect though!

@ Troutflies
This is could be interesting. By the way,love your animated health bar. Great work!
Could he used a couple internal variables such as "$CA-Player’s ammo in gun" or "$A-Player’s total ammo" for something like this?
To show and unshow his HUD's.

Took awhile, but was able to display a custom "ammo shell" hud for the mossberg shotgun. The script i finally made is long and sloppy, but works. With each round fired, shell hud count decreases.Working on using maybe a variable to diplay the hud's.
Made a new thread on this matter under "Scripts" forum "Ammo HUD".
Video posted.
