Heads-Up Display



A heads-up display, often abbreviated as HUD, is a set of indicators used in most games to show the player's current status in a game, such as the score, health and the like. And can be disabled at the Display Settings by Turning the Hud Mode Option off

Description
A HUD can be used to convey many different types of information, such as time, score, money, health, armor, weaponry, ammunition, warnings (eg "wrong way" in a race) maps with blips and subtitles of conversations.

The HUD GTA games may display the following information:


 * Radar, a small map of the player's current location (GTA III onwards).
 * Location compass, a compass point to key locations (GTA 1 to GTA 2).
 * Money.
 * Weapon selected and ammunition.
 * Health.
 * Armor.
 * Mission Title (GTA III onwards)
 * Lung Capacity (GTA San Andreas).
 * Stamina (GTA Vice City Stories).
 * Respect (GTA 2).
 * Stats and skills (GTA San Andreas).
 * Wanted level.
 * Time (GTA III and later).
 * Vehicle speed (GTA Advance).
 * The vehicle the player enters.
 * The district the player enters.
 * The street the player enters (Grand Theft Auto IV).
 * Character's special ability meter (Grand Theft Auto V).

Other elements appear on the HUD in other situations, such as a dialogue subtitles, help messages, and a "Busted" or "Wasted" sign if the player gets arrested or killed respectively.

Floating pickups, such as a police bribe are not considered to be a part of the HUD even though only the player can see them. This is also true for floating markers which indicate where to park or walk into.
