SHow and Hide HUD elements

Is it possible to show or hide a HUD element with a script or trigger?
I know I can hide an element such as compass in the hud.ini with active=false, but what I need is to have certain HUD elements not show at game start then show when level changes, or at a specific point through the game. I have searched the docs, ebook and forum but cant seem to find what I need.

Well,if you want to hide something shown on the compas,you can always use triggered spawning.

OK im totally lost with the ActivateHudElement() command. I can not find any documentation on it anywhere. Is it lowlevel? highlevel? Could you elaborate?

It's a low level command. It's in the manual under 'Misc' in the low level section:
ActivateHudElement(string AttributeName, bool Flag);
Activate/Deactivate the HUD for the attribute AttributeName.

Thanks Juutis. Guess I overlooked it in the manual.
