HUD events...

xAndrewx · #1 06-11-2010, 08:42 PM

Well, is there an update event for such things as

HTML Code:

onMPUpdated()
onAPUpdated()
onHPUpdated()

If not- why isn't there??!

why would you need such events?

I guess to make a HUD that doesn't rely on timeouts to stay updated.

Default mechanics. You can make custom HUD's with the default system.

if he wasn't he'd be able to add such mechanics himself.

He has a very good question, I'm pretty sure no events exist on the client for these occuring and they probably should

Personally I'd rather have something like this..

this.catchevent(player.hearts, "onValueChanged", "onHPUpdated");

So then you could apply it to whatever you'd like (player.hearts, clientr.stats.hp, etc).

I'm not really a fan of the syntax but a way to catch when a variable changes would be a great addition.

It'd also have some nasty overhead costs (unless they are already there from some other feature).

Yeah, anything that would prevent a timeout

I've done the HP updating using:

HTML Code:

function onPlayerHurt()

Need some more for MP/AP etc though, thanks. Should've posted in future updates

This would be great.

That doesn't take into account healing, though, does it?

I believe heals count as a negative hurt.

That would be... odd. I can't say I've ever tested it, but I never remember having to put checks in to make sure when the player was hurt that it was taking away health.

Well, you can heal the player by using hurt() with a negative number, so it'd make sense. Kinda.
