it appears no one knows how to use these forums lmao
there is a button with a pyramid and it says source, and its to the left of the profile button, if you click that it will bring up the code, you obvisously didnt see it in my other post :-P
for the hud im basically using 2 objects, 1 is a textured plain with the hud textures and placed in the bottom right,
the second is a plain again but scaled and positioned so it looks like its going bigger+smaller
you can find all this code, in my messy source code, although the review from tgc say they couldent get the practice to work everyone else got it working so bah...
hope you like the code again
[edit] ive now posted the code on code base aswell
