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.

Appearance of HUD can also be controlled with showHUD param in description.ext. NOTE: As of Arma 3 v1.49.???? there is a showHUD[] array param, that is identical in format to the extended showHUD command. When showHUD[] array param is present in description.ext, it will disable showHUD command entirely, allowing mission makers to permanently alter visibility of some HUD elements.
