Worlds shortest tutorial - Display hp loss above player (when hurt) - kaisersouse - 14.09.2012

Top of script:

Код:

new string[16];

Then:

Код:

public OnPlayerTakeDamage(playerid, issuerid, Float: amount, weaponid)
{
    format(string,sizeof(string),"-%.0f hp",amount);
    SetPlayerChatBubble(playerid,string,0x660000AA,150.0,2500);
    return 1;
}

This will display how much health/armor the player lost when hit in a chat bubble above the player's head (for 2.5 seconds).

Note: this is a good way to spot cheaters, because I've noticed people using health/armor hacks do NOT call OnPlayerTakeDamage...so if you shoot a player and never see the chat bubble, they are likely cheating. Food for thought.

Wow, you can actually do that using SetPlayerChatBubble? o.O

Newbienoob yes.
SetPlayerChatBubble works like 3D Text Label.
The difference is. SetPlayerChatBubble has time when it will disappear.
And its already attach to player without using Attach3DTextLabel.

Nice idea.
Good work.
But you could explain bit more because there are a lot of beginners.

Like this:

pawn Код:

new string[16]; //Creating a string to output the loss of HP.
public OnPlayerTakeDamage(playerid, issuerid, Float: amount, weaponid) //Using OnPlayerTakeDamage callback to get lost hp.
{ //Opening brackets to write the function below.
    format(string,sizeof(string),"-%.0f hp",amount); //Creating a format of our string to display lost hp.
 //Here amount refers to the loss of player's health.
    SetPlayerChatBubble(playerid,string,0x660000AA,150.0,2500); // Adding our string and Creating Chat Bubble to display above player's head.
    return 1; //Returning the functions.
} //Closing the brackets which we've opened.
