Removing armor HUD indicator? Created 3 years ago2021-09-19 13:22:34 UTC by Loke

Hi.

Anyone know if it's possible to remove the armor HUD indicator so it doesn't show up in the game? I'm currently making a singleplayer mod and the player lacks the ability to equip armor so the armor indicator feels a bit redundant.
I'm using Solokiller's updated Half-Life source code.

Thanks for any help and I hope everyone's staying safe.

Yep, there's a few ways to do it, but the quick and dirty way is to just never draw the battery HUD element. Comment out this one line so that this method always returns at the start of the method:
https://github.com/SamVanheer/halflife-updated/blob/master/cl_dll/battery.cpp#L87

int CHudBattery::Draw(float flTime)
{
	//if ( gHUD.m_iHideHUDDisplay & HIDEHUD_HEALTH )
		return 1;
	...

Another option is to completely delete the CHudBattery class and fix up any references to it.

Thanks, that worked great!
