Before I start, please know that there is a chance I misunderstood how huds and dhuds work and affect eachother in which case please correct my misassumptions.

The following code might look fat and unappealing at first but at a closer look, it's just some handy constants and stocks I created for use in my projects. All this code is doing is spamming 4 HUD messages on channels 1 to 4 every 0.5 seconds. It it also creating 5 DHUD messages every 5 seconds with a hold time of 5 seconds.

What I'm expecting is to have 9 permanent huds nicely sitting on my screen. What I have is 4 permanent HUDs, and a broken clusterfuck of dHUDS.

I was under the impression that dHUDs can also be used as a permanent display as long as the information does not need to be updated quicker than hold time (so not for health display, but maybe a clock?). However after creating a dHUD clock that displays every second with a holdtime of 1 second; other HUDs interfere and make my clock disappear even though there are no other dHUDs being displayed. So basically a single permanent dHUD is being broken by several other permanent HUDs once they pick up enough intensity.

Here's what it looks like: https://youtu.be/V0Is77y7Yh8

My problem in production (2 permanent HUDs, 1 dHUD and they don't work together) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtyDvOJOvLg

Any help would be appreciated. I still have 1 hud channel free that I was saving for something else and now I'm worried everything will collide to crap because I am probably doing something wrong.
