Sap/Bleeding HP Output Events

Many thanks to Truce.

Overview
Basically, two output events for the player.  startSap and stopSap with two parameters for the former and one for the latter.  They would toggle a player's gradual health drain.

What it is
What this mod would do is slowly drain a player's HP every x seconds by n HP.  x and n would be defined by the parameters on startSap. 
This can be used for a variety of things, such as:

• Making players "bleed" after they run into a harmful object.  This allows them to try and get help before they completely die.
• Making a custom thirst/heat/food/etc feature for any RP, where players will stop losing HP when in towns, and must find food/heat/water (bricks or items that would heal them) to stay alive.
• Adding realism to obstacle courses, or simply making them more challenging
• Making poisons
• Putting time pressure on escape games
• Your own personal amusement

stopSap would obviously stop this from happening and heal the player x hp.  x being defined by the parameter, it also cannot be negative.


I know we already have a hunger mod, but this would be a much simpler interface and allow for more diverse implementation.

Feedback go!

Well, event-wise, this can be done, albeit it will be messy. I think this would be more interesting for if you got attacked/shot, and you needed to find a med-kit before you lost all your health.

Event-wise would be better for control and the listed reasons.  There could always be a separate bleeding mod, or better yet, the events could come with said bleeding mod.

You're free to do whatever: post it elsewhere, upload to RTB, or just download and forget it.

Player -> startSap x, n
- x defines the seconds inbetween losing health (and the initial delay); can be 1 to 60
- n defines the health lost per "sap"; can be 1 to 100 (instant death after the delay)

Player -> stopSap n
- n defines the health healed upon stopping the sap loop; can be 0 to 99 (full health)

Most likely works best with the onPlayerEnter/ExitZone events.
EDIT: Changed the minimum health healing to 0 (whoops, lol).

I <3 you Truce.

I'll probably post it to RTB for others to use, with you as the creator.
