Overlapping the HUD?

[NickyP]

Hey all. I made some in-level cutscenes that are basically text entities. The problem is, regardless of what value I use with setlayer, the text entities are always under the HUD. This is a huge problem, as the cutscene is entirely unreadable thanks to enemy/player lifebars, and thus useless. Any way around this that doesn't include moving the HUD around?

You can get over the HUD, it just takes some truly ridiculous values.

You were right.

After some screwing around, setlayer 999999999
completely overlaps the HUD; icons, names, score, lifebars, everything. I just hope that ludicrous value doesn't make the engine crash on the console ports...
