HUD.controls

[Well-met]

ey

my mod messes with inst.HUD.controls (heart, brain, stomach, crafttabs) and most of the time it works and yet sometimes the game won't like it and give a LUA crash that says they can't find HUD.controls. There doesn't seem to be any pattern.

Now I understand it has to do with HUD widgets not being initialized fast enough during load or something like that.

So what's the deal with this? where am i supposed to move HUD business at? 

thank you

I believe the proper way is to listen for the playeractivated event from the world in a prefab post init for world, and if it's a client mod then check to see if the data is the ThePlayer in the event listener callback.
