Also quick question when setting up the viewmodels did you by any chance set the bottom viewmodel “HUD Controller Player Info Viewmodel” instead of “HUD Controller Team/Squad Player Info List” viewmodel?
Yes I did like that!
And Im showing the hud through verse

These viewmodels are intended to be used by the HUD Controller device not verse
Make sure the Viewmodel imported is “Hud Controller Team/Squad Player Info List” and that you put the widget on the hud controller device
That made it work ! Thank you for your help Mineblo!
