Flight HUD?

[StarHawk]

Searched around and couldn't find anyone who made a proper flight HUD. I know people have made some of the individual components (compass, speedometer etc.) but I haven't seen it mashed up into a proper client-side HUD. Here's what I mean.


Done in Paint.NET to represent what I would want. Not a screenshot of the actual mod.

This mod would ideally be client-side and able to bind to a key.

Thoughts?

oh god yes

do want

BUT

will the engine be able to detect if you are in a flying vehicle or not?

[StarHawk]

I mean maybe? I wouldn't go through the steps to code it so it only works in vehicles. I'd just have the HUD toggle-able, so anytime you climb into an aircraft you just turn it on with ctrl-h or something and go.

Remember space guy's l4d2 player?
It had code you could put into a script to make a weapon primary, secondary, grenade, ect. I'm sure if a HUD was possible, a code like that could be very do-able for addon makers.

...Blocks per second? Height in blocks?
Do you mean studs per second and Height in studs?

[Brian Smithers]

%height = getWord(ServerConnection.getControlOb ject().getPosition(),2);
%vel = ServerConnection.getControlOb ject().getVelocity();

may have made an error but this just shows it is easily possible.

most people go by 1*1 bricks when they say blocks/bricks

I mean 1x1x1 bricks.

1x1f i think is what he means.

Strato's jet had this in the model.
Almost all of it anyway.

[GEN.Fire Bird]

Might i suggest that the color changes to the vehicle?
or possibly have a color wheel or colorset like the player parts colors to change it?

[Mr.jacksaunt]

I wonder if it'd be possible for a client to inject some sort of GUI into Blockland like this.

Mr. Doom made this over at SS. Somebody find a link to the previous S&R topic about this.

Also, I like the idea that the HUD color changes based on what color you've got in your paint can.
