Making a map in UnrealEd 2004

[Lagamorph]

Ok, I'm making something in the Unreal Editor (the version that comes with Unreal Tournament 2004) but I'm not sure how to do a few things.

1) I want to remove the HUD. By this I want to remove the gun and the weapon display, so that all that's on screen is the map as the player starts

2) I want to get rid of the "Click Fire to start the match" bit. When the map is run I want the player to jump straight into it. The main reason I want to get rid of this is because it's screwing up the Matinee sequence that starts as soon as the map is run.

3) I want to make the player immune to damage by default. Playing the map (it's a single-player one) the player wont be fired at, but there are various areas where they can take falling damage, and I want to remove this.

But I have no idea how to go about doing this. So if anyone could possibly help it would be much appreciated.

none of these 3 things are directly related to the map itself.
1) Turn off the hud + make the weapons invisible in the in-game option menu
2) Doing that above should also fix this
3) You may have to make a new mutator for this. But one thing you could perhaps try is godmode, or use Adminplus to set godmode on that particular charactor, I have a feeling this may only work for actual players online though, havent tried it myself.

Well what I'm making is more of a single player game, so I want the HUD to be removed by default without the player having to adjust any options in-game.
Is it possible to do this with some kind of mutator or scripting? Or perhaps some option within the Editor?

You are now getting into basic coding.

Coding? Oh dear....

You are talking about making a "kind of SP" A map is a .UT2 File that have
BSP, Stastic meshes, Actors, Textures, Sounds in them.
You would have to create a Mutator or something of that kind, Mapping and what you want to make is different.

Isnt there a console command trigger (or a scripted trigger action) that triggers a console command to be entered? Im sure theres a command for removing the HUD. I think its simply "nohud". so when the trigger is activated it would remove the hud, and restore it when activated again.
