It's not safe to try to draw anything to the HUD outside the HUD Draw code.
If you try to call it from someplace else, the screen might not be set in the proper way to render them. DrawPlayer is further down the pipeline and is not set to draw in ortho projection mode. Hence it will rendered in a 3D space rather than the tipical HUD mode ( plus it will get z clipped if it's behind anything ). You should store the names and position you want and render them later ( one frame late ) from a HUD element's draw function. Hope this works. -----Original Message----- From: Nate Lovallo To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 5/4/2002 6:14 PM Subject: [hlcoders] Wierdest thing ever....
