Question regarding HP value Labels

nbjeter3 · Post by **nbjeter3** » Mon Feb 23, 2004 11:34 pm

I have A cleric Friend who is also An MQ user And I have been Editing my UI files Using Pieces From Several Different UI's Posted On this board to create My own custom UI. I like having all The info That is provided And Am always Looking for new things To Add. One of The things I was Wondering about, At The request of My cleric Friend, she was wanting To see if i Could Add to The group Window the group Members Current HP, in Order To better Decide Which heal To use to be as Mana efficient as possible. I Know That SEQ Users have The Ability To Target A Mob And It show Them Their Current HP amount And Was wondering if The same Thing can be done with Group Members? if So, What Code Would i use To define the Label? I tried Looking through a Player Window File That Has The Player Max/current HP showing But Cannot Find what i'm looking for. I tried using The Current Mana Formula From That And Change the $player to $target and Replacing The mana with HP in The Formula And The closest i can Come is to Show Percentage.. Well My target Window already Has That so its a bit On The redundant Side.. Any help would be nice... Thank you This is What i have So Far..

Code: Select all

<Label item="TW_HPCur">
    <ScreenID>TW_HPCur</ScreenID>
    <EQType>9999</EQType>
    <TooltipReference>$if(n,$target(hp,max)>0,$target(hp,cur),"")</TooltipReference>
    <Font>2</Font>
    <RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>
    <Location>
      <X>30</X>
      <Y>15</Y>
    </Location>
    <Size>
      <CX>40</CX>
      <CY>15</CY>
    </Size>
    <TextColor>
      <R>60</R>
      <G>220</G>
      <B>255</B>
    </TextColor>
    <NoWrap>true</NoWrap>
    <AlignCenter>false</AlignCenter>
    <AlignRight>true</AlignRight>
    <AlignLeft>false</AlignLeft>
  </Label>

[edit]
decided to give some USEFUL info :-)

You shouldnt require the if in there

e.g. calculating plat
$int($calc($char(plat,shared)+$char(plat))) is permissible

for the hp's it should be similar but I'm at work and cant test it sry

ok, actually thought about this and realised what you were asking

you will have to use $group to pull in the ID numbers of your members then push that through $target in some manner. Cant test atm.

I'm currently testing the label in the Target Window Thas why I'm usin $target instead of $group.. This way i Don't have to ask random people to group With Me To Test it..But thank you for the help. Was told by everyone else in the IRC channel that HP info is no longer transmitted so its prolly a moot point anyways. nonetheless thank you for tryin

hey :-)

home now,

done like this, unless HP's arent transmitted anymore, I'll go with the devs on this

<TooltipReference>$spawn($group([1-5 for each member]),hp,cur)</TooltipReference>

$spawn deals with PC's also
and I just learnt something new about MQ2 :-)

[1:34am] <05Elric> SnYpEr_26: You really have to do something about that shift key, guy. And the concensus is "Nope, can't be done" .. The server no longer sends HP as a definable number, it merely calculates the percentage and sends that. Which is why when someone does bind wound, the HP bar jumps erratically before settling to another percentage.
