What is the function for moving default huds around via console or script?

I thought it was control::setPosition("compassHud", x, y);

But its not.

Slips my mind....

You're right Evtita.
A while back I tried to make a script which moved the chat hud. It seems that you can't move the default huds via scripts. :(

setposition doesn't seem to work for any huds

you've gotta delete and re-create with newObject

Control::setPosition("ChatDisplayHud", %chatposx, %screenY - %height);

This is from AO's AOChatHud.cs which makes the chathud wider or shorter in width. That's how he changes the position.

Yea random, thats how I would normally do it. But I could have swore there was a default function that would do it.
