Rdav's Ship Health Bars

Ship Health Bars is a simple mod that gives a Health-Bar functionality to the vanilla beacon block.


Ship health bars is really a just-for-fun mod that allows beacons to display a ships health as a percentage and display a real-time health bar above the ship.
Every time a ship takes damage it is shown on the ships health bar, updated in real time to give a true arcadey feeling to battles, fights and general explosiveness.

The mod uses a combination of block-count and block-health to judge a ships health at any one moment, automatically taking into account that some blocks are more important than others. The moment you place a beacon Block the ships status is snapshotted by the mod, and from thenon, every time you take damage the mod will display it on the healthbar.





The mod is very easy to use, simply add the mod to your world, and place a beacon block on anything you want to have a healthbar on, you can then turn the functionality on and off very easily in the beacons terminal by simply toggling the 'use health bars' switch on/off.

The Reset button simply re-takes this health snapshot at the time you press it, primarily this is for simply resetting it if you've been building, or removing blocks intentionally from a ship for example.




Big thanks to all the folks on the KSH discord for giving me some help and advice on progressing from in-game scripts to the world of 'real' modding,
Ship health bars was really just to initiate me into the world of modding and is a bit of a rag-tag frankencode affair under the bonnet, so keep the error logs rolling in if you get a crash, although I've tried my best to bughunt and fix any errors and have given it a lot of playtesting to make sure it's good to go!



Hope you all enjoy the Mod, and as always any questions, feedback, bugs or comments, leave them in the comments section
