I'm trying to write srcipt for a hud, I also need it to operate methods within another script I have (I guess connect the two?!)
Does anyone have example code of a HUD, so I can see how they work?
Cheers

1. HUDs are simply prims that are attached to your interface.

2. The best way for two scripts in the same object to communicate is via llMessageLinked().

A HUD is just an ordinary object which you´have attached to a "HUD point".

If you own a HUD, you can rez it on the ground if you want, but there it will probably not look as intended. You can edit a HUD while it is attached, exactly as you edit an object
sitting on a table in front of you.
