Native functions

DisplayWeaponBar

native function DisplayWeaponBar ()

Draws the weapon bar.

There doesn't seem to be any easy way to customize the behavior of this function. It's not declared as final, so creating a custom weapon bar in UT3 is possible by overriding it and completely reimplementing its functionality in UnrealScript.

DrawActorOverlays

native function DrawActorOverlays (Object.Vector Viewpoint, Object.Rotator ViewRotation)

DrawGlowText

native function DrawGlowText (string Text, float X, float Y, optional float MaxHeightInPixels, optional float PulseTime, optional bool bRightJustified)

Draw a glowing string

LinkToHudScene

native function LinkToHudScene ()

This function will attempt to auto-link up HudWidgets to their associated transient property here in the hud.

Events

PostBeginPlay

simulated event PostBeginPlay ()

Overrides: HUD.PostBeginPlay

Create a list of actors needing PostRenderFor() calls. (That would be all Pawns that are neither UTPawns nor UTVehicles, all UTGameObjectives, all UTOnslaughtNodeTeleporters, all UTDeployableNodeLockers and all UTOnslaughtFlags.) Other actors are free to register themselves via the UTHUD.AddPostRenderedActor() function.

PostRender

event PostRender ()

Overrides: HUD.PostRender

Updates drawing-related HUD properties, then calls DrawHUD() unless HUD.bShowHUD is False.
