HUD isn't working

cbowers428

Hey for some reason my HUD just doesn't appear when I preview my game. It appears in the scene editor though. My settings have it in a non scrollable layer and it is also non movable because my scene is constantly moving. Does anybody know why it isn't showing up? P.S. it shows up if I set it to movable.

the scene height is like 900 and the camera starts at the bottom but i put the hud inside the camera area

Hi cboers428; how odd; the only thing I can think off what going on is all of your HUD graphics are hiding beneath a large background graphic. If you go into Scene>Layers, and you might see your HUD folder is below the Background folder. Drag it to the top and that should solve your problem.

Or you have some scene graphics in the HUD layer folder which are higher in the list and so blocking them from sight.

PS You shouldn't need to make your HUD elements moveable.

I'd hazard a guess and say that you unchecked the 'scrollable' box in the scene layers.

If you're mucking about with the camera, the HUD should always be in the bottom left, in unscrollable layers. Your moving pieces should be in scrollable layers.

Cheers,
