HUD Object

Hot to attach a world object to the player's HUD?

There is an option to attach world objects to the player's HUD. HUD collision and FOV will be processed properly.

How to:

An object must be of the HUD object type (inherited from the entity type). You can create your own object type in entities.lua. E.g.:

maggot_hud_object

maggot_hud_object = create_section {
 __bases = {"_G.config.entity.hud_object"},
 __edit = create_section {
 can_be_added = true,
 obsolete = false,
 caption = "player\\HUD\\maggot hud object",
 },

active_holder_attp = "loc_wpn_base",
 holder_attp = "loc_wpn_base",
 },

An object will be attached to the player's locator defined in the holder_attp property.
An object will be attached by its locator defined in the item_attp property.
To attach an object to the player, use the take item node.
Activate the hud item controller node for it to work as a HUD object.
To detach the object, use the purge slot node. Set the Slot property to hud_object_slot. Attach a ref to the destination point, to the destination pin.
IMPORTANT: After the detaching, it is necessary to disable the useful for player property. To do so, use the useful for player node with the parameter Useful? = False.
Don't forget to deactivate hud item controller.
