Leech on my screen!!!
Hey guys, I'm okay with the leeches latching onto me, I'm doing some tests to see what I can do with leeches in different ways. But it's so annoying to deal with the leeches when they latch onto me, and then they're on my screen. I can log out, it gets them off my screen, but they are also off my body, but they are just invisible. Anyone know how I can remove JUST the leech on my first person screen WITHOUT logging? Is there a way to like to do this by messing with the game files? Is there a scripted in the files I need to remove or something? This is something I've had lots of trouble with and I'm finally had it with that problem, enough to ask how I can remove it. Again, I don't want to remove the leech, just the leech on my first person screen when it gets on me.

Just a data point - I'm not sure exactly what the OP wants to do - but if the leech is on one of your dinos, it will show up on your screen too. Spoiler alert:

I knew that. Was trying to see if I could get out-a render distance of my tame that had the leech, the leech that was on my screen, was gone, when I returned to the my tame that was was infested with leeches, the leeches just came back onto my screen again. I tried anything to see if I could get rid of the leech on my screen. Honestly. Idk what developer thought it was a good idea to have the leech on your screen to begin with. They already had a notification on the top/bottom left of your screen, that shows how many leeches are on you. They made it even more annoying to just HAVE them on your screen. What if your in the middle of a battle. With like a Snake and a Sarco. If you had some rare items in your inventory, the unnecessary leeches pinned to your first person screen, would block one of the major parts of your screen, needed to view the area around you, that goes double for if your in the middle of a supersize attack or just a attack in general.

Pretty sure it is hard coded and cannot be removed.

Are you sure there's no way to remove it? Like a command? Wdym by hard codded? Like...a
code in DEEP in the files that people can't access? Is there a mod maybe? A setting that could remove it, like a setting that might say "remove UI (blah, blah, blah)" maybe? Some setting that might just be able to remove it? :steamsad:
