When I open the inventory, the player HUD (e.g. life, shield, player avatar,…) is hidden, but not the other widgets…

Does anyone know how I can make it so that either the player HUD is not hidden when the inventory is opened, or the other widgets also disappear?

Many thanks in advance.

Since there’s no way to know when a player is in their inventory I don’t believe you can do much unfortunately. Sry 🥲
