Description
- Description:
- Enable / disable showing of HUD. Defines visibility of weapon crosshair and any informational tags that appear when pointing the weapon at an object as well as availability of the default action menu. Unfortunately, it also hides icons drawn with drawIcon3D.
Since Arma 3 v1.50 there is a Description.ext's showHUD[] array param that is identical in format to the extended showHUD command. When present, it will disable showHUD command entirely, allowing mission makers to permanently alter visibility of some HUD elements.
Since Arma 3 v2.04 it is possible to force drawing of drawIcon3D icons when HUD is hidden. The icons will also show when custom camera is created and the view is switched to it via switchCamera or cameraEffect provided cameraEffectEnableHUD is enabled. For more information see drawIcon3D. - Groups:

- The "cursors" parameter controls visibility of the action menu as well as weapon cursors. However if 1st param "hud" hides and disables action menu, param "cursors" only hides it. So you get invisible action menu that is fully operational. inGameUISetEventHandler will still fire on interaction, giving the information about selected item on the action menu even if you cannot see it. Unfortunately it also hides icons drawn with drawIcon3D.
