Trigger value change

How to use triggers to automatically increase/decrease HUD value during gameplay.

Making the HUD value dynamic

With ItemsAdder you can easily make your HUD value change automatically during gameplay, for example you can make a HUD value gradually decrease.

In this example I will explain how the thirst HUD works.

How does the thirst HUD work?

The thirst HUD automatically decreases based on some factors: biome, if you're inside a home or outside and also generally during gameplay without any particular factor.

I know this HUDS system lacks some features and it may be a bit confusing, in the future I'll revamp it to add more features and make it better.

If you want to have more control over HUDs you should use the Java API.

This is the HUD configuration file:

info:
  namespace: realcraft
huds:
  thirst_bar:
    enabled: true
    show:
      auto: true
      creative: false
      underwater: false
      riding: false
    type: STATUS
    x_position_pixels: 10
    direction: LEFT
    value:
      player_stat_name: thirst
      start: 10
      min: 0
      max: 10
      triggers:
        decrement:
          generic_over_time_60_minutes_inside:
            min_sky_light: 0
            max_sky_light: 13
            every_ticks: 30000
            amount: 0.5
          generic_over_time_45_minutes_outside:
            min_sky_light: 14
            max_sky_light: 15
            every_ticks: 30000
            amount: 0.5
          biome_over_time_desert_30_minutes_outside:
            min_sky_light: 14
            max_sky_light: 15
            biome: DESERT
            every_ticks: 30000
            amount: 0.5
          food_level_change:
            amount: 0.1
        increment:
          food_level_change:
            amount: 0.1
          player_respawn:
            amount: 10
        on_min_value:
          damage_player:
            every_ticks: 100
            damage: 0.5
          potion_effect:
            every_ticks: 100
            type: SLOW
            amplifier: 1
            duration: 100

      negative: realcraft:thirst_bar_negative

The triggers

In ItemsAdder you can use triggers to decide how to make the HUD value change, and there are two triggers: decrement, increment and on_min_value.

The decrement triggers makes the HUD value decrease, the increment trigger makes it increase.

on_min_value is a special trigger which makes its rules ran when the HUD value reached its min value.

Each trigger has a list of possible rules which tells the ItemsAdder if it can change the HUD value or not.

The rules

triggers have some specific rules and they are not available on each one of the triggers, so please refer to this list:

decrement trigger

      triggers:
        decrement:
          generic_over_time:
            min_sky_light: 0
            max_sky_light: 13
            every_ticks: 30000
            amount: 0.5
          biome_over_time:
            min_sky_light: 14
            max_sky_light: 15
            biome: DESERT
            every_ticks: 30000
            amount: 0.5
          food_level_change:
            amount: 0.1

• generic_over_time makes the HUD value decrement of 0.5 each 30000 ticks if the sky light is between 0 and 13 (which means the player is inside a structure).

• biome_over_time makes the HUD value decrement of 0.5 each 30000 ticks if the sky light is between 14 and 15 (which means the player is outside, in the wild) and also checks if the biome is DESERT.

• food_level_change makes the HUD value decrement of 0.1 when the food level decreases (vanilla).

increment trigger

  triggers:
    increment:
      generic_over_time:
        min_sky_light: 0
        max_sky_light: 13
        every_ticks: 30000
        amount: 0.5
      biome_over_time:
        min_sky_light: 14
        max_sky_light: 15
        biome: DESERT
        every_ticks: 30000
        amount: 0.5
      food_level_change:
        amount: 0.1
      player_respawn:
        amount: 10

• generic_over_time makes the HUD value increment of 0.5 each 30000 ticks if the sky light is between 0 and 13 (which means the player is inside a structure).

• biome_over_time makes the HUD value increment of 0.5 each 30000 ticks if the sky light is between 14 and 15 (which means the player is outside, in the wild) and also checks if the biome is DESERT.

• food_level_change makes the HUD value decrement of 0.1 when the food level increases (vanilla, when the player eats something).

• player_respawn makes the HUD value increase of 10 when the player respawns after death, in this case this is useful o make the player thirst increase to the max value on respawn.

on_min_value trigger

This is a special trigger which doesn't alter the HUD value, but is used to make something happen when the HUD value reaches the min value.

  triggers:
    on_min_value:
      damage_player:
        every_ticks: 100
        damage: 0.5
      potion_effect:
        every_ticks: 100
        type: SLOW
        amplifier: 1
        duration: 100

• damage_player deals a damage of 0.5 to the player each 100 ticks.

• potion_effect gives SLOW effect to the player with amplifier 1 and duration 100, each 100 ticks (in this case it means that the player gets infinite slowness until their HUD value increases somehow).
