Example Usage:
A Blueprint called "MyGameHUD" was created using the HUD class as Parent. The "Draw Text" function must be used in the "Receive Draw HUD" event that belongs to the HUD class. Two "Draw Text" functions were used, one to display the number of lives and the other to display the score.

The number of lives is drawn in blue in the screen coordinate (X = 20, Y = 10) and the score is drawn in green in the screen coordinate (X = 20, Y = 50). To use this HUD class you must select it in the GameMode blueprints that are being used at the level or it can be configured in the level editor in the option "Settings → World Settings → Game Mode".
