hud_manager_device<public> := class(creative_device):

        Sleep(3.0)
        
        HUDController := GetPlayspace().GetHUDController()
        for(mPlayer : GetPlayspace().GetPlayers()):

            Print("UPDATE HUD")

            var HUDElementsToHide : []hud_element_identifier = array:

Can confirm. Hiding HUD elements works fine but it won’t activate if trying to hide or show for specific players.

I have not tried using these functions, When you were testing this did it effect PC also or was it only Xbox?
