Monitor player health (single player) Created 14 years ago2009-12-13 17:26:09 UTC by Soup Miner

Is it possible to monitor the player's health if you're mapping for SP?

I'm trying to make a sort of health bar out of game_texts.

Is there any way you can take info straight from the HUD?

I have no idea.

You could code a health bar into the HUD, but for a single map, I dunno.

You can relay health and ammo values out of the player with a logic_playerproxy; you could have a setup that relays the value of the playerproxy for health to a game_text as the health changes or have a timer that checks current health every second or so. I don't know how you would display a value like this without having tons of game_texts for each health value, unless you can give the game_text an InValue which the playerproxy sends out - a simpler solution would be to have thresholds that choose a game_text from one of five states (20% health, 40% health, etc), perhaps.

The plan was just a small amount of bars to each represent a big percentage of health. So thanks.
