VERY small question

[bull.04]

Is the player's health variable considered and integer or a float? I've been having problems with that.

[UNRATED69]

I believe it's an integer.

[bull.04]

Alright cool, thanks. Also, how would I go about drawing it in numbered text? I have a small script maybe you could diagnose.

And here is my GXT:

Anyways, if you can't thats fine. Just wondering and trying to get some learning about integers and floats.

[UNRATED69]

Try this.

It worked but it crashes after about 5 seconds in game. Don't know whats causing it but it's weird...

 

 

UPDATE: I got the loops working, now it isn't counting changes in health. When it meets the [email protected] < 20 check it crashes, instead of displaying my health.

Always check the original script. Surely the game has done this before. An integer value is returned when reading your health. If you want to use UNRADTED's code, don't use 045A.

[bull.04]

What opcode should I use for it?

 

EDIT:

I stored the health to an integer and changed the text drawing. But it still crashes.

Now all I need is a way to update an integer. I tried opcode 0627 but it didn't yield results.

I declared [email protected] as the Players health, then transferred [email protected] to [email protected] through an integer and now I need a way to update the integer.

 

EDIT: CRAP! Sorry I accidentally double posted. Meant to edit.

[spaceeinstein]

Use 01E5. Text_high/lowpriority opcodes are easier to use than draw_text.

 

This makes no sense:

 

[email protected] = Actor.Health($PLAYER_ACTOR)0084: [email protected] = [email protected] // (int)

 

You're setting [email protected] as equal to [email protected], which is not defined anywhere, so you'll always get "0" in return. If you want [email protected] = [email protected], it is redundant. You're not using [email protected] anywhere else, only in this code. So just use [email protected]

Oh I thought I was transferring [email protected] to [email protected] aka converting it into an integer, so I guess it has always been an integer. Also, I declared [email protected] as 100 in the beginning, but that also didn't work so yeah.

 

Also, it looks as if 01E5 doesn't have text positioning. Is there a way to position that text?

[spaceeinstein]

Oh, I didn't know that you wanted custom text. Here's a working code:

 

 

{$CLEO .cs}constHEALTH = [email protected]  // reading a variable as a word is better than as a numberend0000:while true   wait 0   if       Player.Defined($PLAYER_CHAR)   then       if           Player.Controllable($PLAYER_CHAR)       then           HEALTH = Actor.Health($PLAYER_ACTOR)  // stores an integer value of the player's health           if               HEALTH >= 20  // if the value (your health) is greater than 20           then               033F: set_text_draw_letter_size 0.6 2.6               033E: set_draw_text_position 550.0 350.0 GXT 'HLTH1'  // HEALTH:               045A: draw_text_1number 550.0 375.0 GXT 'HLTH4' number HEALTH  // ~1~%           end           if and               20 > HEALTH  // if the value is between 1 and 20               HEALTH >= 1           then               033F: set_text_draw_letter_size 0.6 2.6               033E: set_draw_text_position 550.0 350.0 GXT 'HLTH2'  // HEALTH:               045A: draw_text_1number 550.0 375.0 GXT 'HLTH5' number HEALTH  // ~1~%           end           if               1 > HEALTH  // if the value is less than 1           then               033F: set_text_draw_letter_size 0.6 2.6               033E: set_draw_text_position 550.0 350.0 GXT 'HLTH3'  // HEALTH:               045A: draw_text_1number 550.0 375.0 GXT 'HLTH6' number HEALTH  // ~1~%           end           03F0: text_draw_toggle 0       end   endend

 

 

The main problem with text_draw in loops is that you have to place "03F0: text_draw_toggle 0" at least once in a loop containing a text_draw opcode. Another problem is your original code only read your health once. It did not loop back to TXTHLTH_1 to reread your health again.

I think the proper use is to use this opcode ONCE with param 1. But, it's a good idea to loop it in CLEOs, when you're not sure if SCM thread will mess with it, for example.

[spaceeinstein]

I'm unsure how SA works, but in VC, text_draws stay permanent on the screen unless you use 03F0: 0 to clear all text, especially important if you loop your code. Without it, the game will keep drawing additional text overlapping the previous ones until it reaches the limit and freezes the game.

[Silent]

In SA enable_text_draw 1 makes it draw only for one frame, makes it obsolete to loop the opcode (unless you make a CLEO script, when you are unsure how the flag is set by SCM threads/other CLEOs). VC may have a worse system though.

[bull.04]

So the toggle only works once? I just wanted to use the draw_text_1number and size and position that then make the toggle loop. But that is obsolete in SA? Makes sense I guess. I will try spaceeinsteins code real quick and get back with results.

 

EDIT:

Oh spaceeinsteins uses the same basic concept as mine. So is there any way to size and position high priority text? That's all I need to do now, seeing as I put it to read the Actor's health before every text render and it worked with high priority text.

 

EDIT:

YESS! I GOT IT! The toggle actually worked big time, but the reason it stayed at 100 is because I forgot to change the variable the text read and I had a [email protected] variable at the beginning of the script set to 100 and no decreasing.
