M = self createFontString( "hudbig", 0.8 );
M setPoint( "CENTER", "TOP", 0, 10 );
M setValue( 150 );
Also bonus stuffz I found when I was bored. Could be helpful to some people, so just gonna post because I havent seen anyone use any of this stuff.
You may need to add this to your gsc file for some of them to work.
#include maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_util;
Timer (seconds)
//Whole server
level.myTimer = createServerTimer( "objective", 1.4 );
level.myTimer.label = "Timer Test";
level.myTimer setTimer( 8 );
or
//Single person
level.myTimer = createTimer( "objective", 1.4 );
level.myTimer.label = "Timer Test";
level.myTimer setTimer( 8 );
Timer used for killcams (4.6 seconds ect)
self.kc_timer = createFontString( "hudbig", 1.0 );
self.kc_timer.x = 0;
self.kc_timer.y = 42;
self.kc_timer.color = (1,1,1);
self.kc_timer setTenthsTimer(camtime);
Server-wide text ( for doHearts ect)
t = createServerFontString("hudbig", 1.0);
t setPoint( "CENTER", "TOP", 0, 10 );
t setText( "Herp" );
or for a certain team
newtext = createServerFontString("hudbig", 1.0, [B]"axis"[/B]);
Easiest way to make an icon
myIcon = createIcon( shader, width, height );
myIcon.x=0;
myIcon.y=0;
MW2 Main Menu shaders ( not sure if they work on Cod4, but I think they will)
precacheShader( "menu_button" );
precacheShader( "menu_button_selected" );
precacheShader( "menu_button_fade" );
precacheShader( "menu_button_fade_selected" );
precacheShader( "menu_button_faderight" );
precacheShader( "menu_button_faderight_selected" );
precacheShader( "menu_caret_open" );
precacheShader( "menu_caret_closed" );
IW's way of displaying names (FFA winners ect)
secondTitle = createFontString( font, fontScale );
secondTitle setPoint( "TOP", "BOTTOM", 0, 150 );
secondTitle.glowColor = (0.2, 0.3, 0.7);
secondTitle.glowAlpha = 1;
secondTitle setPlayerNameString( self );

its a pointless post. (my opinion)
its a pointless post. (my opinion)
everyone has seen it? I highly doubt that everyone in the Cod4 expliots section knew about every function I posted.
1) Assuming people have the same knowledge as you is a bad idea.
2) Your previews are 10 times more pointless than my post.
3) Forums are for sharing, Im sharing what I found with people who may not know about it. I could easily remake every code I have seen you post, I don't view your posts as pointless because I know other people are learning from it.
You seem very self-centered. (my opinion)

hud setPoint("TOPRIGHT", "TOPRIGHT", 0, 0);
hud setText("Promod ^1LIVE ^7V1.1 NA");
