I saw it in a project. It had a Camera2D and a Viewport with the HUD (and it didn't affected by the Camera)

Create your hud as a scene and instantiate it on your player scene

I think it'd work. But if I have a Camera with some smoothing?

Note that I have the game (that have a Camera with zoom properties and movement) and I want to add a HUD (that would be as child of the Camera). But it never works. I tried to add a viewport but it doesn't worked, when the HUD appears the game doesn't appears and vice versa.

I found a solution just adding a CanvasLayer as parent of the HUD and positioning it correctly. It worked as well.
