[SOLVED]Trying to create HUD on View (more elegant solution)

[phoekz]

What I'm trying to do is simply have text on View so it will move when the View moves as well. I have accomplished by setting the text's position relative to View's center position, like this:

Code: [Select]

CountFPS.Update();
float x = View.GetCenter().x - 510;
float y = View.GetCenter().y - 388;
Text.SetPosition(x, y);
Text.SetText(CountFPS.GetFPS());
Screen->Draw(Text);

It is quite hacky in my opinion and requires lot of pixel perfection to get it right, also when I want more elements to the HUD, it will be quite a mess. Is there some more cleaner/elegant way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Use another view, that never moves, and draw your text with it. That's what views are for.

Oh man, that was insanely simple, can't believe I missed that.
