I am busy with a multiplayer HTF (hold the flag - take the flag and run around for as long as possible) mission, and I'd like to show some statistics (health, score etc) in some kind of HUD-bar. Does anybody have an idea how to do this?

Sure, it can be done through Dialogs.

Check out the post on the same forum.

Dialog has a problem action is stop and mouse too..

Use hint and \n for carriage return...
and format of course...

Something like :
_StrHealth = format ["%1",getdamage player1]
_StrScore = format [".....

_Infos = "Health = " + StrHealth +"\n"
_Infos = _Infos + "Score = " + StrScore

Hint _Infos

Actually, if he was to use rsctitles then he would retain control. Don't know what the limitations are though.

RscTitles does not allow to use ctrlSetText. This is only available to dialogs!

The only possibility that I see, without testing, is a custom resource.bin where you add some custom controls to the OFP dialogs and use ctrlSetText on them.

I really do need to experiment with dialogs more, stupid me
