HUDs can display texts that include information of represented content, e.g. a combatant’s name, level or status values.

This content is added to the text using text codes, e.g. <name> to add the name of a displayed content.

ORK HUD Text Content #

The ORK HUD Text Content is used for general content information and can be used for a wide range of displayed content like combatants, items, equipment and many other things.

The available text codes will either be replaced by a compatible content’s information or by a blank text. E.g. the <stackcount> text code to display a status effect’s number of stacked effects will display the stack count (number) when a status effect is displayed, but a blank text in any other case.

Use this text content if you use a HUD for displaying different content, e.g. a Tooltip type HUD that’s not specialized to specific content.
