Hiding HUD with SetHUDVisible
caution
This tutorial is outdated. It's recommended to use Panorama for UI manipulation now.
Example:
GameUI.SetDefaultUIEnabled(DotaDefaultUIElement_t.DOTA_DEFAULT_UI_TOP_TIMEOFDAY, false);
There's a function currently missing from the API page: SetHUDVisible(int, bool) which I want to document here.

| DOTA_HUD_VISIBILITY_TOP_HEROES | 1 |
| DOTA_HUD_VISIBILITY_TOP_SCOREBOARD | 2 |
| DOTA_HUD_VISIBILITY_ACTION_PANEL | 3 |
| DOTA_HUD_VISIBILITY_ACTION_MINIMAP | 4 |
| DOTA_HUD_VISIBILITY_INVENTORY_PANEL | 5 |

| DOTA_HUD_VISIBILITY_INVENTORY_ITEMS | 7 |
| DOTA_HUD_VISIBILITY_INVENTORY_QUICKBUY | 8 |
| DOTA_HUD_VISIBILITY_INVENTORY_COURIER | 9 |
| DOTA_HUD_VISIBILITY_INVENTORY_PROTECT | 10 |
| DOTA_HUD_VISIBILITY_INVENTORY_GOLD | 11 |
| DOTA_HUD_VISIBILITY_SHOP_SUGGESTEDITEMS | 12 |
Note that changing it once doesn't let you change it back without restarting tools, so this shouldn't be used to manipulate the HUD after the game loads.
Usage
Somewhere in a game started event, I used player_connect_full
mode = GameRules:GetGameModeEntity()
mode:SetHUDVisible(hud_component_value, false)
