Advanced HUD Tools

[moggie100]

From this post in "Ideas and Suggestions": Advanced HUD Indicator

Generic Default:

It would be nice to have a HUD indicator with more options. If it's possible it would be cool to have inputs to control the position of the indicator on your HUD with X/Y percentages of the screen(50 would be in the middle of your screen, so inputs of 50 and 50 would make the indicator appear in the middle of your screen). Maybe more options for the type of indicator like symbols and crosshairs. I just think that having advanced HUD is important for some types of vehicles and stuff. Wouldn't it be awesome if you had a green box around targets while you gun them down in a helicopter? There hasn't really been an update for HUD for a long time and there aren't too many people that use it anymore.

Currently this is very WIP, but it really ceased to be a 'Ideas and Suggestions' type thread a while ago; plus, this way I can update this post with news as I go.

Now part of the Unofficial Wire SVN

Update! HUD2 - http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Adv._HUD_Indicator_2

I'm now working on an Adv. HUD Indicator v2 (Aka. HUD2), which allows in-game scripting of interfaces, including Derma windows/etc! See the end of this thread for current details!

Although I'm working on a new HUD Indicator, I am still taking bug reports for v1 until v2 comes out, and feature requests for v2 are much appreciated!

There is one (well, a rar) on the site, but I'm only going to update that every so often.

If you want the bleeding edge one, get the svn.

For me the best-working option is the Use World Coordinates one, it seems fine to me!

On some indicators it will explode...

Plus, its kinda redundant at the mo, as all that should do is remove the ScreenX/Y inputs and replace then with the WorldX/Y/Z inputs along with a bit of code streamlining.

Here is what most of them look like floating around in space. I love this Moggie, once I get some time on my hands I'll have to figure out how to hook them to missiles or a fighter or something like that.

What? you mean like this?

(Oh, and Generic Default - Recognise this? :P)




More shots of that at my site: Nothing is faster than www.TheMoggie.co.uk.

PS. Urablahblah; I've copied your screenshots to my site - you dont mind do you? Just they show off the SENT pretty well

Haha no problem, I was just messing with them last night seeing what all there was, right until the point it quit working because of the messed up toggle.

-=SVN Update: Rev 4=-

Added the following types:

• XY -> XY Box
• XY -> XY Rounded Box

Both draw as white at the mo because of issues with transferring colours... Fixed soon.

RAR not updated for this revision.
