hello
I've made a total of 3 huds (1 I actually use, the other 2 are just for experimenting with how huds work and what is most effective) and a friend and I had the idea of a scoreboard constantly being on the screen, just an insanely minimalized version in the corner; but the scoreboard always seems to want to be on top of everything else... making your ammo, health, damageaccount, etc disappear like normal
I've tried multiple things, mainly editing the FieldNames of scoreboard/other hud elements to represent different ones (i.e. I changed the shadow for your HP ("%Health%") to that of your kills (%kills%) and vice versa, and it says [unknown] for the values every time
If it isn't impossible, I'm probably overlooking something very silly; but I'm able to change the FieldName for hud elements if they're on the same "plane" (the ammo-healthy hud and the scoreboard hud being the two hypothetical "planes"), it just doesn't seem to want to work if they're on different planes
I've tried:
-changing FieldNames of elements already set forth (as I said)
-changing zpos of the scoreboard and everything else so it doesn't overlap your ammo-healthy hud, but the scoreboard seems to ignore it and go over everything no matter what
I haven't tried moving the x/y coordinates of the scoreboard, but I doubt that would work
My main thoughts at the moment are:
this is probably impossible
this is probably intended to be impossible
the command +showscores probably is responsible for not being able to do this
I'll provide screenshots or answer any questions to anyone (just ask in the thread)
thanks in advance everyone :)

Gunbladenot possible.
cya thread
darn, do you know how?
i'm not saying I can change it, I'm just curious as to how they made it impossible

You might want to look into something CS;GO has, which shows players alive on your team and the enemy team, which can help in a fight so you know when to fall back or not (and pressing tab in the middle of a DM is bad of course), but the last thing I'd like to see in my screen is how bad my K/D is B)

there's a lot of elements that become hidden once you open the scoreboard.

Additionally, when the scoreboard is draw, you can't do things like switch weapons or use alternate fire. If you wrote an autohotkey script or something to rapidly toggle the scoreboard on and off, you'd be able to read it and the other elements and retain most functionality, but that's a lot of work for not much gain.

you can change weapons while the scoreboard is out using the use command
