I want to script a dynamic EKG (with showpoly) to show the status of a players help, but the thing is I don't know how to begin, is there some sort of algorithim I have to follow?

^ If you don't know what an EKG is

Well if you just made it spike randomly (controlled random- every 2 or 3 seconds, etc) and the same for the amount of spike, you could make an array of points to plot. Doesn't seem to hard, but of course it probably would be.

On the server I used to own someone who worked for me scripted just what you're talking about.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to do that.

Lol, that animation in the other post reminded me of a flash EKG machine I made.

I imagine you could just define some points in an array if you need to and then use a for loop to display the polygons from point to point as defined by the array; cbkbud is on the right track. You could probably just as easily figure out an algorithm for it, but right now I just don't feel like figuring it out, sorry.

basicly you could do something like:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  this.dsize = 10;
  this.data = 0;
  this.mode = 1;
}
public function onAddData(temp.data) {
  if (this.mode == 1) {
    this.data.insert(0, temp.data);
    if (this.data.size() == this.dsize+1){
      this.data.delete(this.dsize-1);
    }
  }else if (this.mode == 2) {
    this.data.add(temp.data);
    if (this.data.size() == this.dsize+1) {
      this.data.delete(0);
    }
  }
}
public function onGetData()
  return this.data;
public function onGetDataAtIndex(index)
  return this.data[index]; 


So, use onAddData() to feed the array, depending on the mode the way it's read (mode 1 = read from left to right (index 0 and up), mode 2 = read right to left (last index to index 0))

Could be made easier tho, but, an EKG with player's health.. Doesn't sound.. 'logical' with graal as combo
