1.How does an HUD work? Can I have an example of how to, say, have it remain of the top left corner of your screen?

2.

This is a pic from MJ. I was wondering how you are able to use such large HP/MP/EXP bars and have them increase/decrease accordingly. Since I plan on doing something similar for my game, can I have a hand with this please? Thanks alot.

Alright, could you explain how this snippet from it works, and how I could getthis to go horizontal?

                     ExpMeter = new(src, "Experience", "southeast", "exp", "mexp", \
            list('expmeterbtm3.dmi' = 3, 'expmetermid.dmi', \
            'expmetermid.dmi', 'expmetermid.dmi', 'expmetermid.dmi', \
            'expmetermid.dmi', 'expmetermid.dmi', 'expmetermid.dmi', \
            'expmetermid.dmi', 'expmetertop.dmi' = 25), 32, NORTH)

I use hub://Jotdaniel.Multitilestatmeter

It works fine for me and easy to modify for anyone to use.

                     ExpMeter = new(src, "Experience", "southeast", "exp", "mexp", \
            list('expmeterbtm3.dmi' = 3, 'expmetermid.dmi', \
            'expmetermid.dmi', 'expmetermid.dmi', 'expmetermid.dmi', \
            'expmetermid.dmi', 'expmetermid.dmi', 'expmetermid.dmi', \
            'expmetermid.dmi', 'expmetertop.dmi' = 25), 32, EAST)


the last arg (in the original code is NORTH) is the direction the bar expands to

I believe that's a very silly addition to make for the sake of bumping a 3-year-old topic.
