BaseDraw::DrawHUDText() - setting color ?

I am trying to draw colored text with BaseDraw::DrawHUDText().
Using BaseDraw::SetPen() before, has no effect.Is there any way to draw text with custom color using DrawHUDText funcrtion ?
Thanks!

hi,
there's no direct function for that but you can retrieve the color parameter of BaseDraw using GetParameter
An example of a python tag that could display the text: It will work the same with C++.
here I'm not using GetParameter but you get the ideaimport c4d def draw(bd): savedColor = bd[c4d.BASEDRAW_HUD_TEXTCOLOR] savedBG = bd[c4d.BASEDRAW_HUD_BACKCOLOR] savedOpacity = bd[c4d.BASEDRAW_HUD_BACKOPACITY] bd[c4d.BASEDRAW_HUD_TEXTCOLOR]= c4d.Vector(1,0,0) bd[c4d.BASEDRAW_HUD_BACKCOLOR]= c4d.Vector(0,1,0) bd[c4d.BASEDRAW_HUD_BACKOPACITY] = 0.1 bd.DrawHUDText(50, 50, "my text") bd[c4d.BASEDRAW_HUD_TEXTCOLOR]= savedColor bd[c4d.BASEDRAW_HUD_BACKCOLOR]= savedBG bd[c4d.BASEDRAW_HUD_BACKOPACITY] = savedOpacity def main(): pass #put in your code here
you can also have a look at this thread where you will find some useful informations on how to display a texture on the viewport (and some text on it)
