I'm finally working on another mod. However, it's built for multiplayer, and I need to disable a few things to ensure that it runs smoothly. Firstly, is there any way that I can disable the healthbars of units when you look at them? Example: You look at a stormtrooper but nothing shows up on the top of the screen saying "Stormtrooper" and showing their HP. Secondly, if someone has enemy indicators on, is there any way I can disable the usage of those? Enemy indicators would completely ruin this mod.

One last question: Is it possible to disable enemies from showing up on the minimap even when looking at them? I don't want one team to be able to walk up to the other and see the enemies on the minimap.

Basically I don't want the teams to know any information on the other team. The friendly nametags/healthbars/minimap icons can show up though.

You might want to look in Anakin's custom hud tutorial. I haven't read it yet, but it sounds like what you want.

enemy indicators like the ones you see in flyers? I don't know about those.

I think the minimap arrows are controlled in com_inf_default:

MapTexture = "troop_icon"
MapScale = 1.4
MapViewMin = 50
MapViewMax = 50
MapSpeedMin = 0
MapSpeedMax = 100

Thanks. That looks like the stuff I needed. The enemy indicators are the ones you can turn on and off in the options. They're the red indicators that float above the enemys' heads. Those might be controlled in the HUD as well, so I'll poke around for now.

Use the HideHealthBar ODF parameter to disable target health bars; I use it in Unification for the deployable shield barriers, like the Geth' Hex Barrier and the Collectors' Anti-Ballistic Shield.

Thank you Marth, that was just what I needed. Topic solved!
