Put this at the top of your script:

desc = This is a script


I recall from a while ago that scripts needed to have the "desc" set at some point. I thought Lee removed that requirement, but hey, it couldn't hurt o try.

Looks like you're trying to do some sort of numeric system for the player's health...


If that's what you're doing, I have a much easier way.

you could try Ply's suggestion or just link to another script that continues on from that script using variables.

Ahhhh, I see where this is going now. You're trying to make a counter for your allies, am i right?


Well, the idea I had wouldn't work for that, unfortunately.

Here's another idea...

Have the counter check for a range between the 10's.
So like check for the health being between 90 and 99 to display the "90" hud, check for the health between 80 and 89 to display the "80" hud, etc.

Here's the tricky part, for each of those ranges, set a local variable to that range's number... so if in the 90's set the var to 9, if in the 80's set the var to 8, etc. And then REMOVE that much health, minus 1, from the entity... so if in the 90's remove 89 health from the entity, if in the 80's remove 79 health, etc.

This will leave the entity with 1-10 health left.

Now check for the health value directly from 1 to 10, displaying the ones digit hud appropriately... minus 1
So if the health is 10 the display the 9 hud, if the health is 8 display the 7 hud, etc. etc.

Now after displaying the appropriate hud, check the variable you set earlier and give the entity their health back.


Maybe that'll consolidate a lot of the repitition going on in your script.


Actually, here's a quick script for you to look at:



Think something like that would work for you?

This script won't work as-is. You'll need to either use states, activation values, or another localvar to make sure that after the health has been removed, it doesn't get picked up in the check for the "10s" range. And also, if a range wasn't found (meaning the health was below 10) then to use a regular 1-9 check for displaying the 1's digit.

exactly but that was suppose to be a surprise

and unfortunately i don't think your scripts gonna work because each hud is a single number

The script is designed to work like that. Each hud should only have a single number in it.

And it was a bit of a giveaway about your plans since I can see "hudimagefine=ally\allyhealth.dds" in our script.

Just hope you don't get shot when the health is low....lol

I raise the health to a higher number, then bring it back to what it was.
That way you don't risk dying during the health count.

You don't have to worry about the entity dying, CE. The script is run in it's entirety before anything else happens.


@hockeykid:

Did you manage to implement this, btw?

Okay, but don't say I stole your ideas when I make an allies script of my own.
I never made one before because I had no control over entity health, but we do now in v113 so I am going to start one soon.
I want controls for four allies so you can toggle between them for controlling all four independently.
I was thinking the glow decal under the one being controlled would be nice.

I'll go check out your allies script now.

isnt that just like your puppet script? and couldn't you just run that off a main script and have it run a certain script when button pressed?

Alot like the puppet script, only yes, it will be more automated.

So yes, you send a command to one of the allies and as he is carrying out that command you have toggled and commanded another.

That way all four can be worked independently simutaneously.

I'm thinking of activated states for each individual since they will all have the same name.
So, each script will only accept a new command when the entity is in that activated state.
So toggling the activation will toggle control.
