I noticed the old moviemaking script floating around for a long time to remove the HUD was no longer working with the Reborn update in 2021, so this allows you to hide the HUD on Dota 2's Source 2 Reborn update as of the date of upload, for use with moviemaking or screenshotting during demo playback. It does not work outside of demo playback.
