This might be a strange and tough task, but I'm wondering about making a wad where the level transforms while you're playing through it. I have no problems with implementing this idea in mapping with ACS and other tricks. But I have a "problem" with the HUD image.
I'm aware there is a possibility to change HUD images with ZScript, but I'm very bad at this. And I don't have any ideas how to implement it on the playthrough.
I've seen HUD change in PSX Doom TC, it was an almost simple idea - there was an actor-token (for PSX Final Doom HUD), which was added in your inventory by the ACS script on the level start. And you can remove this actor-token and the HUD comes back to PSX Ultimate Doom HUD.
But I didn't manage to make more BUDs than 2, there were only 2 of them here. I need about 5 or 6, yeah.
If you're wondering why I need so much HUD images, I need them to make some kind of "teleport" between classic Doom versions released on consoles. So yes, at first you're seeing PC HUD, after some time 3DO HUD, after some time Sega Saturn HUD, et cetera, et cetera.

I would be very grateful for help!
