THANXIES GABE! I missed that. Introduced in 1.7, the 8 Heads-Up Display (HUD for short) attachment slots are visible only to the user to which they're attached. They're intended to allow scripters to create user interface elements, such as speedometers, game buttons, or health readouts. _____________________

You know what? I see a lot of great linkage here in this thread, but... HOW ABOUT POSTING SOME KEWL PICTURES OF YOUR HUDS!
(You know what they say, picture = thousand words, something like that.) _____________________

Now this really pisses me off that I can't script for crap! lol You know what you can do tho? ANY attachment, even a colorful textured prim, just attach it to your HUD and adjust for placement. Someone made me a "breakfast set" I just attached, it's hilarious walking around with a can of beans on my screen all the time. You know those picture screens that rotate through different piccies that you put pix of your family and friends on? You can attach one of those too, and have them close by you as you go around Second Life. _____________________

llRezObject, on_rez,llRequestPermissions, run_time_permissions,llAttachToAvatar ? I wouldnt want auto-attach, w-hats would then auto-attach goatse.cx to the whole grid. Wow, you're short sighted, aren't you. OK, and I'll try to explain slowly, you have to actually sit in something or attach something that has a HUD in order for it to auto-attach. If you're stupid enough to attach something from somebody you don't know then you deserve goatse.cx in your face. Just like those people who open email attachments from people they've never heard of before and then get all sorts of "strange" stuff happening. The way it currently is just isn't user friendly for the normal, average joe user. Seriously. They don't even act like the HUDs that they would be used to from games. It's not a HUD currently, it's a prim in the face. There is a big difference. EDIT: And the current option is far from user friendly for the average Joe. No Build areas much? _____________________

I have used two really good hud attachments. One being the speedo for the Dominus Shadow, which is a work of art may I add, and the other is more from a land owner's perspective: the new version of PowerBall's HUD cards. The speedo is obvious because now there's no annoying floating text to tell me how fast I'm going or how high up I am, much much cleaner making the car even more appealing.
The other like I said is great for the land owner, a dwell generating game that doesn't need anything more than a good 512m2 plot to be playable (game machine's and scoreboard's combined prim count is around the area of 75 prims and since the cards are attachments they don't count against your prim usage, you could also technicall drop the scoreboard and have it only use up around 30prims). |

Heh, yes, you can attach any object at all to the HUD. To be stupid, I attached a siegeBot as a HUD object. Actually kind of cool. Maybe I can use it as a status display.

I got the chance to see one or two really top secret like HUD attachments that are being made by a friend and all I have to say is *drool*. Not sure on thier release date as they have had other problems that have made them have less desire to work and more desire to just play.

Here's mine. It locates all the people in the current sim and lets you then teleport to them.
avatar_finder.mov - (1MB) I stole the idea of flipping it over to change settings from OSX. |

Yes! At least, I think so. If I know what you're talking about.
The scene: The sandbox. The time: Tonight. Guy arrives in carrot. Says "Park" to carrot and gets out. Comes to chat with me. Name was Copper Surface, I believe. He has a strange midsection - missing, actually, with just a circular top and circular bottom, and in the space in between, a spinning plywood cube. Guy eventually says "Unpark" to carrot and flys away in it. I think that midsection business is what you are talking about, and if so, then yes, I have seen something cool done with this! If not, I've seen something cool done with . . . something. coco _____________________

In the pic you can see my HUD Jetpack by the mini-map (it rolls up out of the way when not flying) and in the lower right hand corner, my "Stuff HUD" - all the little fiddly bits I like to have handy - now with no listens! _____________________

They could be auto-attached from the inventory of an object when a car is used or an attachment attached Which specifies it the same way so not sure how you could think anything other really? _____________________

I'm working on a flight computer. It has navigation and tactical functions, an AOA/roll indicator, vertical deviation indicator, and horizontal situation indicator.
Nav:  Tactical:  I'm probably going to include them for free with my flagship vehicle. There are a few bugs to work out, like how in navigation mode it thinks speed and distance are equal sometimes. There are a lot of features that aren't shown here, but this should give a fairly good idea I am also thinking about making a trimmed-down version with just the three gauges and a small text area. A hardcore flight simmer will probably not sweat the size of the thing, but there could be situations where it would be nice to conserve some of that real estate. Or I might make it optional to have the background translucent, if the alpha sorting bug ever gets fixed. (Seems better since today's update.) _____________________
