Acknowledged Issues
  • List of known incompatible addons:
  • Addon does not properly save user's settings. (Resolved)
  • Addon does not load user's saved settings on map load. (Resolved)
  • If player does damage to themselves (such as throwing a molotov cocktail on their feet), the target armor hit indicator will still inform. This should not be occuring. (Resolved)
  • Damage from explosions trigger player break indicator despite player still plenty of much armor left. (Resolved)
  • PERMANENT: Sometimes, Target Armor Hit and Break Indicators will trigger in parallel. This has something to do with Penetration mechanism of your selected addon. Unfortunately, this is out of my power as it solely depends on the SWEP addon you are using. (Modern Warfare Base is also affected. You can try to reduce it by running this CVar of the addon).

@Skib

Thanks your suggestion!

The entire screen flash was never really meant to be the final product, I even planned on making the break FX corresponding to the style you chose. But at the time, works have been stressful so I don't have much time for updating my addon.

I will consider your idea in the future. Thx again btw :balloon:
HeyItsJaydon 16 Dec, 2023 @ 11:55am 
just as an idea, for the armor break FX why not make it only flash the corners of the screen instead of the entire screen

@Juan The Horse

They don't, so it only works by inflicting damage on players.

Gulman.

Tom 9 Feb, 2023 @ 8:55am 
It is i made sure of it
Aoiruka shi  [author] 9 Feb, 2023 @ 6:31am 
@gulman Make sure that the Player Armor Break Indicator section is enabled!
Tom 8 Feb, 2023 @ 10:51am 
Im using it in single player and when any npc depletes it fully it does not do anything
Aoiruka shi  [author] 9 Dec, 2022 @ 9:54am 
If you guys have any bugs/glitches to report or any style to add, check out the pinned discussions above! I will try to do it in my power.

@GuyWhoIsMan

Sorry for replying lately, having been occupied by some stuffs. It is impossible to add a sound volume slider due to the limitation of Garry's Mod Lua API.

For the colorable player break VFX indication, I might do it in the future. For now, just imagine your vision got flashed white and a bit dizziness because of the sudden loss of protective armor / suit.

Have a nice day/night.
