A new HP system ?

[DarkWorld]

Hi, just wondering how to set a string flag on a player such the HP example 150 and show it on the screen !

Thanks.

if(playerenters){
if(!setup){
insertstring client.hp,0,150; //max hp
insertstring client.hp,1,150; //cur hp
set setup;
}
}


In bold is an example of setting a string list(a bunch of strings stuck together under 1 name), the number 1 being the 2nd string in the list.

Another way to set only 1 string to a name is
setstring client.hp,150;
And unlike the example I continue below, instead of using #I(client.hp,1) which grabs the 2nd location of the string list. You would use
#s(client.hp); Which would return 150. (though some scripts can't interpret that because a string is in words and variables are in numbers. To get past this you use strtofloat(#s(client.hp)); Which just means String to Float, and Float means a number with a decimal point. Aka it turns words into a number.)


Healing item example:

if(playertouchsme){
message Picked up Berry!;
if(!strequals(#I(client.hp,0),#I(client.hp,1))){
this.hp = strtofloat(#I(client.hp,0))+1;
replacestring client.hp,1,#v(this.hp);
}
}



in player hud npc:

if(playerenters){
toweapons -hud;
}

if(isweapon||playerenters){
timeout = 0.05;
}

if(washit){
if(strequals(#I(client.hp,1),1)){
playerhearts = 0;
replacestring client.hp,1,strtofloat(#I(client.hp,0));
}else{
this.hp = strtofloat(#I(client.hp,0))-1; // you can change the -1 to dmg.
replacestring client.hp,1,#v(this.hp);
}
}

if(timeout){
showtext 201,15,5,Arial,,#I(client.hp,0); // 15 being the x, 5 the y position.
timeout = 0.05;
}

0.05 timeout? Ugly :P

[HandupOnYoHip]

Change all timeouts to = 0.2; (for agret)

Timeout is for the GUI, which sadly hides itself when a status change happens like dieing or getting hurt. But unfortunatly theres many more things that are more passive and don't have triggers, healing in a bed, grabbing a heart, getting your props re-saved by RC.

thanks a lots ![br]Double Posted on: March 28, 2008, 03:30:05 PM________________________________________________ _[br]There is a problem through... i replaced :

[b]if(washit){
if(strequals(#I(client.hp,1),1)){
playerhearts = 0;
replacestring client.hp,1,strtofloat(#I(client.hp,0));
}else{
this.hp = strtofloat(#I(client.hp,1))-1; // you can change the -1 to dmg.
replacestring client.hp,1,#v(this.hp);
}
}

by...

if(playerhurt){
if(strequals(#I(client.hp,1),1)){
playerhearts = 0;
replacestring client.hp,1,strtofloat(#I(client.hp,0));
}else{
this.hp = strtofloat(#I(client.hp,1))-1; // you can change the -1 to dmg.
replacestring client.hp,1,#v(this.hp);
}
}

When i get hit ... its supposed to take only 1 hp.. but it take 2.. why?

[HandupOnYoHip]

Not sure exactly, maybe try putting
this.hp = ;
After replacestring client.hp,1,#v(this.hp);

Or you could always just go
this.hp = strtofloat(#I(client.hp,1))-0.5;


Or if you still have problems just replace everything after else{ with.
this.dmg = playerhurtdpower;
this.oldhp=strtofloat(#I(client.hp,1));
this.newhp=this.oldhp-this.dmg;
replacestring client.hp,#v(this.newhp);
playerhearts=playerfullhearts;
}
}



and I forgot to mention, you should put something to stop the player from dieing when his normal hearts run out. Which is what the playerhearts=playerfullhearts; is for.
