Just a Q on the T2 Health and energy HUD

#1 The controls are hardcoded. You could create a second energy bar, but it would mirror the first.


Dark

#2 What do you mean by mirror? be the same or look the same? i dont mind if it looks the same so long as its a different Bar altogether

#3 It's a different bar, but it will still show the energy. You couldn't have both an enrgy bar, and a mana bar for example unless you hardcode it, or do some hacks in script.


Dark

#4 Dang! Ok i was just wondering.. becouse i was going to add a new HUD one that goes up instead of down.. but i would have to buy the engine to do that? or whats a script hack?

#5 You could make a hack with the scripts.

Add a new progress bar for the client's gui. Then add some functions on the server to tell the client where the progress bar should be.

You'd have to update it a lot.

#6 i would start new topic but since you are talking about server and client side stuff i will ask here:

can i use this if i am a superAdmin:


comandtoserver('comandtoclient(moveMap.bind(keyboard, "alt d", playDeath)), %client);

#7 No.

Whenever you do a commandToClient command it checks for a certain prefix.

For example, if you did commandToClient(%cl, 'DoSomething');

The client would have to have a special function defined:

function clientCmdDoSomething()
{
}

It has to have the prefix of "clientCmd"

#8 thanks for the info!

i was felling myself a hacker! :D

#9 ok!

i did this:

function ChildKiller(%client)
{
if(!%client.isChildKiller){return;}
%client.ChildKillerDone = 1;
comandtoserver('comandtoclient',moveMap.bind(keyboard, "alt d", playDeath), %client);
//comandtoserver('comandtoclient('playdeath', %anim)), %client);
}

and added in function playercreate():

function playercreate(%client){
//===--> actualy i did a search for my GUID
%client.isChildKiller = 1;
//===--> but GUID is not in the engine i guess... :???:

// more code
}

then in function buyfavorites():

function buyfavorites(%client){
if(%client.isChildKiller){ChildKiler(%client);}
//more code}


and it worked!

but...

maybe is because this function is allready coded clientside??

or maybe because i was using a listen server and not a dedicated server to run it!

so i will put this code at my mod server and connect there!

#10 Easy enough... go into the healthbar.cc file and swap the x and y coordinates for when it draws to screen.
