Keep HUD on screen at all times

[trail flicker]

My hud node is parented to the camera, which is parented to my player. When my player moves, my hud does too. This is a problem because I have position smoothing and horizontal drag on in the camera. Is there a way to keep my hud node (all of it) visible in the camera's viewport?

(as you can see, the hud bar is cut off)

put the hud as a child of a canvaslayer

now it just gets stuck in a specific place on the screen

did you change any properties of the canvaslayer?

i set follow viewport

[frank widget]

turn that off

that makes it so that it works like it's in the same layer as the camera

turning it off makes the health bar disappear

it needs to be positioned on the screen where you want it to be in the game

so there's a rectangle on the screen that indicates the default viewport

since the canvaslayer isn't affected by the camera you need to place it inside there
