Clicking on players

[bigkow44]

Can someone help me with a script that will show an image kinda like attributes. when you click on a player, it shows an image and text over the player you clicked on. im completely lost.

use testplayer to find the index if you clicked over someone, then if you're using built-in variables, do like players[index].hearts

[screen_name]

well, lets see, what kind of informaiton would you want displayed??

have a range of what of the mousex and mousey

test the player under the mouse to get the index of the clickee

use with () to access the the clickee's string to be displayed

display clientside for the clicker

timeout for bla seconds

hide the displayed information

testplayer doesn't seem to work without an npc server.... ?

[screen_name]

it worked for me, i placed npc characters around the level and had a npc display the index of what character was under the mouse

worked fine
