Health display

[positive]

Hi, i'm trying to make a health display but it doesn't seem to work...
This is what I've so far: I get all sorts of errors...

Code: Select all

hpinfo()
{
	self.hpinfo = NewclientHudElem(self);
	self.hpinfo.alignX = "right";
	self.hpinfo.alignY = "top";
	self.hpinfo.x = 400; //temporary placing.
	self.hpinfo.y = 20; // same
	self.hpinfo.archived = true;
	self.hpinfo.fontScale = 1.4; 
	self.hpinfo.alpha = 1;
	self.hpinfo.hidewheninmenu = true;
	self.hpinfo setText(self.health);
}
}

I also tried first making a new variable self.hpleft = self.health; and put that in settext() but no luck there ...

it should be set value instead of set text im sure.

Then I get type struct is not an entity..

Are you correctly calling self?

Please show us the function where you actually thread the above from.

hud.gsc

Code: Select all

main() {
	self thread hpinfo();
	//thread modinfo();
	
	//self.hpover = self.health;
	//player = self;
}

modinfo()
{
	level.modinfo = NewHudElem();
	level.modinfo.alignX = "right";
	level.modinfo.alignY = "top";
	level.modinfo.x = 400;
	level.modinfo.y = 20;
	level.modinfo.archived = true;
	level.modinfo.fontScale = 1.4; 
	level.modinfo.alpha = 1;
	level.modinfo.hidewheninmenu = true;
	level.modinfo setText("PIP-Mod Made by Pozzuh");
}

hpinfo()
{
	self.hpinfo = NewclientHudElem(self);
	self.hpinfo.alignX = "right";
	self.hpinfo.alignY = "top";
	self.hpinfo.x = 400;
	self.hpinfo.y = 20;
	self.hpinfo.archived = true;
	self.hpinfo.fontScale = 1.4; 
	self.hpinfo.alpha = 1;
	self.hpinfo.hidewheninmenu = true;
	self.hpinfo setvalue(self.health);
}

Who is "self"?

Self does NOT refer to a player in all circumstances, self is the entity on which the function is called.

Keep going back, where is "main()" called from.

pip.gsc

Code: Select all

main() 
{
	thread pip\hud::main();
       // other threads here...
}

and in _load.gsc:

Code: Select all

thread pip\pip::main(); //line 58

[Rezil]

you don't call this thread on anything so self has no meaning.

So... what do I do to fix it....?

[Moustache]

Change self in to player and define player?
Maybe that work.

Ok it works now
