Frames HUD
Tutorial on how to create a FRAMES HUD
How to create your first HUD (type FRAMES)
FRAMES HUDs allows you to create HUDs which have a different texture for each of its possible values.
Creating the configuration file
The first step is to create a configuration file in your namespace folder. In this example I'll create a file called hud.yml
.
As you can see I created a configuration file with some settings for the new HUD.
type: FRAMES
is used to create a HUD which has different texture, one for each value it can have.
x_position_pixels: 120
is used to make the HUD positioned 120 pixels on the right (starting from the center of the screen).
value
attribute is used to decide how many values the HUD can have, in this case from 0 to 5, and the start value is 0.
player_stat_name
is an attribute which attaches the HUD to a custom player attribute which will contain the HUD value between server restarts, it's a custom attribute not a vanilla attribute, name it as you wish.
images frames
is the list of font_images textures, one for each value the HUD can have.
Important: make sure each possible value of your HUD has a valid texture. In this case values are from 0 to 5 so I have 6 images, one for each value of the HUD.
Creating the images
Create a new yml file and add this code inside, it's used to let ItemsAdder know where your HUD images are and how to show them on the screen.
As you can see they have the same names as previously declared in the hud.yml
file.
Now you have to create one image file for each of the ones we have specified in the previous file.
Create them in this path (as set in the configuration) contents\myitems\resourcepack\myitems\textures\example_hud\
Done!
See the HUD in action
To see the HUD in action you just have to run /iazip
(and follow the hosting tutorial if needed) to start seeing the new HUD ingame.
Now try to write this command (change LoneDev
to your player name) to change the HUD value: /iaplayerstat write LoneDev example_stat float 2
As you can see the HUD value changed to 2! Very good!
Make the HUD value automatically change during time
To make the HUD automatically increase during time you can just use the triggers.
Make the HUD value change
To make the HUD value change you can just use the previous write
command anywhere, in items events, in other plugins, everywhere.
