i'm trying to make a custom hud. everytime i try and load an image i keep getting runtime errors. i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong? but i'm trying to get a blank white t-shirt (100 health) and everytime i get shot or something, it gets bloodier and bloodier (75%-45%-25%-5%etc) and everytime i heal, the white t shirt gets whiter. also have room for ammo counter on the side and more stuff around the screen if needed. sorry if this is a repeat forum thread but i cant figure it out. thanks guys.

Crystal ball is a bit cloudy today so could you post the script maybe?

i've tried both of these trying to put images in the hud. can't seem to figure out the coding

Both of what? Looks like you missed some details there

--[[This is what goes inside of a dynamic always active entity.--]]

g_player_current_hp = g_PlayerHealth

-------------------- HUD Locations and Sizes --------------------

-- Ammo --
--text location
local lives_tex_posx = 6
local lives_tex_posy = 91.5
local lives_text_size = 20
--sprite location
local lives_spr_posx = 1
local lives_spr_posy = 91
--sprite size
local lives_spr_sizex = 10
local lives_spr_sizey = 5




function lives_hud_init(e)

HideHuds()

-------------------- HUD ICONS --------------------


-- Ammo --
lives_sprite = LoadImage("scriptbank\\images\\lives.png")
lives_icon = CreateSprite(lives_sprite)
SetSpriteSize (lives_icon,lives_spr_sizex,lives_spr_sizey)
SetSpriteDepth (lives_sprite, 100)
SetSpritePosition(lives_icon,300,300)




end

function lives_hud_main(e)


-------------------- Ammo --------------------

PasteSpritePosition(lives_icon,lives_spr_posx,lives_spr_posy)
TextCenterOnX(lives_tex_posx,lives_tex_posy,4,""..g_PlayerLives)




end

SetSpriteDepth (lives_sprite, 100) <-- should be lives_icon not lives_sprite

You can do this btw:

local lives_icon = CreateSprite( LoadImage( "scriptbank\\images\\lives.png" ) )
SetSpriteSize ( lives_icon, lives_spr_sizex, lives_spr_sizey )
SetSpriteDepth ( lives_icon, 100 )
SetSpritePosition( lives_icon,300,300 )

function lives_hud_init( e )
HideHuds()
end
function lives_hud_main( e )
-------------------- Ammo --------------------
PasteSpritePosition( lives_icon, lives_spr_posx, lives_spr_posy )
TextCenterOnX( lives_tex_posx, lives_tex_posy, 4, "" .. g_PlayerLives )
end

i keep getting a runtime error. i just copied and pasted that code.

i've also seen this on youtube but i dont know how i can add my own images (the t shirt) into the hud wihtout runtime errors.

-- LUA Script - by Dvader
-- Custom HUD


function custom_hud_init(e)
HideHuds()
HUD=0
keycheck=0
respawned=0
cursor_im=LoadImage ( "scriptbank\\images\\healthbar\\health.png" )
end

function custom_hud_main(e)
PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)

if respawned==0 then
respawned=1
initialhealth=g_PlayerHealth
end


if g_Scancode==41 and HUD==0 and keycheck==0 then
HUD=1
keycheck=1
cursor_sp=CreateSprite ( cursor_im )
end

if HUD==1 then
Text(1,1,6,"Health "..math.floor(g_PlayerHealth/10))
SetSpritePosition ( cursor_sp , 1 , 4 )
SetSpriteSize( cursor_sp,g_PlayerHealth/(initialhealth/10),3)
end

if g_Scancode==41 and HUD==1 and keycheck==0 then
DeleteSprite(cursor_sp)
HUD=0
keycheck=1
end

if keycheck==1 and g_Scancode==0 then
keycheck=0
end

--Text(50,90,6,g_MouseX.." "..g_MouseY)
--Text(50,90,6,g_Scancode)
end

Attach the script, I'll take a look and fix it for you if I can.

do i have to make a new folder to put these images into? and name them

I meant attach the script where you did "... i just copied and pasted that code. …" and got a runtime error.

Also would be useful to know what the runtime error was.

To attach the script use the "Browse" button to locate the script and then "Upload file".

here you go

it wont let me attach files? maybe since i just made my account this month or something?
