Hudindicatablemanager

Overview

Manages a collection of items that can be displayed on the HUD (e.g., quest markers or trackable objects) exclusively on the client side. It maintains a registry keyed by item GUID and provides register/unregister methods to control which items appear visually in the HUD.

Main Functions

RegisterItem(item)

• Description: Registers an item for HUD indication if not already present. Prevents duplicate registration by checking the item's GUID.
• Parameters:
  • item (Entity): The item entity to register. Must have a GUID property.

UnRegisterItem(item)

• Description: Removes an item from the HUD indication registry if it exists. Gracefully handles nil input.
• Parameters:
  • item (Entity or nil): The item entity to unregister. If nil, no action is taken.

OnSave()

• Description: Prepares data for saving. Currently returns an empty table—no persistent state is stored server-side or across sessions.
• Parameters: None.

OnLoad(data)

• Description: Loads saved data. Currently a no-op—no data is processed or applied.
• Parameters:
  • data (table or nil): Ignored by the implementation.

GetDebugString()

• Description: Intended for debug output; always returns nil due to the if true then return nil guard.
• Parameters: None.
