Class prepared for January WoL.

How do you get a HUD to the screen? How do you build and texture it ... most of all: which side? How does it communicate with the object to be controlled?

We will build a simple HUD, texture it and attach it to the screen, then control a door with it. You will learn about the listen event, communication channels, script the touch_start event to use the HUD and also a simple door script that listens to the HUD.

You should be able to build, texture and edit a box, understand end edit the default script. That is, where we will start from.

You should be able to build, texture and edit a box, link objects and understand end edit simple scripts. That is, where we will start from.
