hi there i have a hud were i want the player lives to be displayed in custom hud ive managed to access the g_PlayerLiives command and display it onscreen using text but after a minutes in game it disappears ive got the script attached to a nonstatic entity and set always active to yes but it still keeps on disappearing any help would be appreciated heres the code im using


local text_showing = 0
playerlives = g_PlayerLives
function player_lives_init(e)


end

function player_lives_main(e)

if text_showing == 0 or text_showing == e then
TextColor(90,90,5,"Lives ["..playerlives.."]",100,0,10)
text_showing = e
end
end
as i say it does work at first but it dissappearss the player health uses a similar script and that works fine
iam am using third person and the projectile script by Smallg but as i say everything else works fine
thanks bonesy23438

your code can be simplified to:

hi there i done that originally and its doing th same thing as the above code it only displays it for a minute or so then disappears

Double check it is 'always active' and add a debug line like:

Prompt("Got Here") in the script right after the TextColor line to make sure the script is actually being executed.

i seemed to have fixed the problem all i did was redo the entity with the script and moved it closer to my player even though always active was yes it seems to be working fine now

How do you go about having more than one text field active on screen at the same time?

the Text() commands aren't limited to 1, just the Prompt commands that are.
