Heads up Display

An HUD (heads up display) is a transparent, graphical dashboard that displays on top of everything else.



HUDs usually display statistics. Think of the dashboard on your car, the on that displays how fast your car is going, how much gas you have left, your engine's temperature, etc.



HUDs do not follow the camera
One aspect of HUDs that's unique is that they don't follow the camera. They always draw at the same place on screen, regardless of whereyou are. Think of them as being this piece of glass that's on top of the game but not part of the game itself.

How can an actor stay at the same place of the scene?
Anchor block

The ability to anchor an actor to the screen was made specifically for creating HUDs. As the name suggests, anchoring an actor makes the actor ignore the
camera, so it always is drawn at the same place on screen.

woah! Nice!

Are the actors or objects that you are importing have a huge size?

Or maybe the resolution of your game, is it too big?

Or you can check also the behaviors or events that you are using. If they are too big, might as well lessen those because they might cause lags to your stencyl. I hope it will help!

I might use this one for my game because it will add some challenge to the user. Thanks!

Or there's this crash that displays that "You already used 90%...." something like that. Why is that happening?

No, I don't think so. Because I used to resize it before importing it to Stencyl.

Did you check your resolution to your game? Maybe that's too big.

I searched a solution on that and this might work to you. You need to create a .txt file then save it along to your stencyl works. Go to this link -> community.stencyl.com/index.php?topic=22071.0 and try it for yourself. Hope it helps!
