Draw something on a player screen within an Actor.

Post by XxMiltenXx »

Hello.

I made a rocket that the player can control: once shot the camera switches to the rocket and the player can aim to control the angle,pitch and use the forward/backward keys to alter the speed of said rocket.
Is there anyway to draw something on that players screen from that rocket without having to make a statusbar or similar? My idea was to make like a flight HUD that shows speed/altitude.

I tried using "Screen.dim" but that cannot be used outside a UI/Draw-Function apparently.

Alternatively; Is there anyway to switch Statusbars on the fly? Let's say I have the main Statusbar in SBARINFO and define my rocket statusbar via ZScript, is there anyway to switch between those?
