Placing an icon somewhere on your screen?

[fang]

Is there a way to specify the location of a sprite on the users screen?
Ex. Over the radar or in the middle of the screen

public fw_prethink(id)
{
if(is_user_alive(id))
{
message_begin(MSG_ONE,iconstatus,{0,0,0},id);
write_byte(1); // status (0=hide, 1=show, 2=flash)
write_string("smallskull"); // sprite name
write_byte(255); // red
write_byte(0); // green
write_byte(0); // blue
message_end();
}

}

IconStatus is an event that shows the icons on your HUD, not in the game.
To make sprites in-game, you will need to create an entity and set the model to the sprite, and then set rendering effects if transparency is wanted.

Oops. my bad. Is there anyway to set the icon on a specific place on your screen?

[hoboman]

you can only use those predefined names like d_scout, etc...
other than those you cannot display any other sprites on the player's hud

o.0 I meant like..


Player's Screen..
----------------------------------
(radar)




(normally where icon would be displayed)


HP
----------------------------------


I don't want a custom icon. I just want to know if it's possible to move the location of the icon to like over the radar or something instead of in the middle left of the screen.
