Introduction

Here goes another short and simple guide that could be added to any number of maps, or if you just want to turn it into a mod for the base maps to get a feel for scripting. It's pretty simple, only one function. So let's go!

Scripting Requirements

Yep! That's right there is nothing you need to in Radiant. So first things first, we're going to register a callback. If you're familar with C# a callback is basically an event. If you're not familar with any programming language, a callback is something that that "fires" when something happens. In this case we're going to register the on_spawned() callback. So add this line to the bottom of your MAPNAME.gsc file's main funcion

callback::on_spawned( &on_player_spawned );

below;

level.pathdist_type = PATHDIST_ORIGINAL;

Now we're going to create a function like so

function on_player_spawned() { self endon("disconnect"); self endon("death"); self.HealthBar = zm_utility::create_simple_hud(self); self.HealthBar.horzAlign = "center"; self.HealthBar.vertAlign = "middle"; self.HealthBar.alignX = "middle"; self.HealthBar.alignY = "middle"; self.HealthBar.y = 230; self.HealthBar.x = 5; self.HealthBar.foreground = 1; self.HealthBar.fontscale = 2.0; self.HealthBar.alpha = 1; self.HealthBar.color = ( 0.423, 0.004, 0 ); //Red Green Blue. 1 is 255 self.HealthText = zm_utility::create_simple_hud(self); self.HealthText.horzAlign = "center"; self.HealthText.vertAlign = "middle"; self.HealthText.alignX = "right"; self.HealthText.alignY = "middle"; self.HealthText.y = 230; self.HealthText.x = -1; self.HealthText.foreground = 1; self.HealthText.fontscale = 2.0; self.HealthText.alpha = 1; self.HealthText.color = ( 0.423, 0.004, 0 ); //Red Green Blue. 1 is 255 self.HealthText SetText("Health: "); while(1) { self.HealthBar SetValue(self.health); wait 0.1; } }

This creates 2 HUD Elemts for the player who spawned, so not everyone will get to see them. You could make it so it reflects everyones elses health and make it create hud elements for each, but that is out of scope for this guide.

Also, make sure that

#using scripts\zm\_zm_utility;

is somewhere up the top of your file with every other using statements.

Final Words

Well, that's that. You have now added a health bar for the player to the map. You could just turn this into a mod, and you could play it on any map you want so long as it doesn't have a mod bundled with it. See you guys all in the next one.

Thanks, Johnathon.

You need to make a mod in the mod tools first.

Mysti [author] 24 May, 2017 @ 1:22pm

No, it uses the mod tools to create a healthbar HUD, but you will need to be playing on a server that has this mod enabled to use it.
