HP Bars...

[cheatbobb]

a) Have a gani script always active, but only show the information if the mouse is in the right position.
b) It hasn't created any lag in my experience, but I haven't had the chance to try with many players at once.
c) Reading variables shouldn't create lag, as they're readily accessible and you don't have to "request" them or anything. Looping through all the players would give you as much lag as a custom chat system would, namely about none. If reading them does actually take a "request" or whatever, then the answer to b) would most likely be none.

He means, put a script in a gani to show the HP bar, but only show the images when the mouse is over the player.. EG

NPC Code:

---

...



function update_bar() { ...some code to draw the HP Bars... }

function hide_bar() { ...some code to hide the HP Bars... }

function onTimeout() {

  if(... some code to check if the mouse is on the player...) {

     update_bar();

  } else {

     hide_bar();

  }

setTimer(0.05);

}
