HUD Hide flags

The player has a variable m_iHideHUD that defines which hud elements should be hidden. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/blob/0d8dceea4310fde5706b3ce1c70609d72a38efdf/mp/src/game/client/hud.cpp#L948

Each hud element can asign its self to a hide group using SetHiddenBits(int group).

There are 3 special hide flags.

• HIDEHUD_ALL is special because it is always asigned to every element. So calling SetHiddenBits(HIDEHUD_ALL) is pointless.
• HIDEHUD_PLAYERDEAD & HIDEHUD_NEEDSUIT are special because it does not use m_iHideHUD. Seem to be a bit of a hack by valve.
