The HUD Tweaker is a world tweaker gadget in LittleBigPlanet Karting that allows HUD Widgets to be tweaked using logic.

Usage and behaviour

Although the HUD Tweaker is primarily intended to work with Custom Widgets, General Widgets can have their visibility switched on or off by setting the HUD Type to one of the General Widgets and connecting a wire into its input, e.g. the minimap can set to only appear when the player is inside a Player Sensor's detection range. In addition to the widgets that can normally be selected in the Tools Bag, the visibility of the Grapple Callout (usually displayed when approaching a grapple-able object while equipped with the Grapple Hook) and Rader indicators can also be switched on or off with this setup.

Tweaks

HUD Type Sets which type of HUD Widget the gadget will affect.

Input Action: (see below) Determines how the motor responds to the signal it receives through its input. On / Off: The widget will display on screen for as long as it receives a signal, disappearing when it loses power. Timer: The widget displays on-screen until its Target Time has been reached, then it disappears. Note that the timer resets if the tweaker is activated again before the timer runs out. Increment (Range Counter only): The counter increments each time it receives a digital ON signal. A Positive signal increments it by 1, while a Negative signal decrements it by 1. Position (Range Counter only): The counter displays a number between 0 and its Target Count based on the strength of the analogue signal it receives.

Target Count: (1 - 3600) Sets the maximum number that the counter will display.

Target Time: (1.0s - 3600.0s) Functionality depends on which HUD Type is in use: If the HUD Type is set to Sticker Frame, Text Box, Flasher or Note, and the Input Action is set to Timer, this determines how long the widget will remain on-screen before disappearing. If the HUD Type is set to Timer, this sets the maximum time it can count up to.

Visuals

Visible in Play Mode: ( No •‎ Yes ) Determines whether or not the object will be rendered in Play Mode.
