How the engine spawns HUD
In UE_5.4\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\PlayerController.cpp:
void APlayerController::ClientSetHUD_Implementation(TSubclassOf<AHUD> NewHUDClass)
{
if ( MyHUD != NULL )
{
MyHUD->Destroy();
MyHUD = NULL;
}
FActorSpawnParameters SpawnInfo;
SpawnInfo.Owner = this;
SpawnInfo.Instigator = GetInstigator();
SpawnInfo.ObjectFlags |= RF_Transient; // We never want to save HUDs into a map
MyHUD = GetWorld()->SpawnActor<AHUD>(NewHUDClass, SpawnInfo );
}HUD is spawned as an actor. That makes sense since it needs to be owned by the client.
