Custom Health bars?

[Quinn Mallory]

I have thought of a really cool idea to add to my addon. Is it still possible, or has it been patched up? If not, I will be using a PNG file for my health bar. I have no clue what to use, I've done reasearch, but couldn't find anything.

has what been patched up?

what are you planning on using the png file for? do you want it in 3D space? are you just wanting a GUI?

[Quinn Mallory]

Adding a health bar. That's what the topic is about. I have the file made up. Ok I'm going to make it simple.

Have you heard of Gamemode_ZAPT? You know the health bar that displays on the bottom of the HUD? I'm trying to do that. Can I still do that? Or is it all patched up? If it's not patched up, I can't figure out the code for the health bar. I'm a bit puzzled. I'm just trying to figure out what the person used.

You need a client and a server part for the ZAPT gamemode's HUD. I don't think the client can figure out his own health.

[Quinn Mallory]

Blah blah blah. I don't think the client can figure out his own health.

No, it's not that, I'm just trying to figure out to make a health bar, that's all. Is anyone even reading the posts?

It can.

It can.

Yeah, if you use blhack...

No, I'm not talking about the health of other players. There are several add-ons out there that show your own health on screen.

I wasn't aware of any, mind linking some for OP?

Is anyone going to help me?

Do you want to do this client or server sided?

[Quinn Mallory]

Do you want to do this client or server sided?

Which one is easier? To make it simple on you, it will be as system_, so it would make sense for what I'm going to do to the health bar as a client sided end for the addon.

Well if you want it to be client sided then everyone who wants to see their healthbar will need to download the mod.

[Zeblote]

You could make it server sided and use the energy bar that appears in the top right to display health, this wouldn't require aclient sided add-on.

Well, I was going to display a image of the player next to the health bar itself by using a camera and I got a feeling that it will conflict with the health bar, or maybe not, who knows. Plus, that energy bar is dull, boring, and the addon is too epic for it.
