HUD Health Bar Issue

[KeZzY*]

So Ive recently been working on my first HUD, and its pretty much complete except for the health bar.

Its working fine until you go past 100 hp where the bar will just keep expanding right across the screen.

Use math.Clamp() on the progress bar's rendering, but don't do it on the text. Clamp it between 0 and 100. Do the same thing for the armor if it's happening to the armor bar too.

math.Clamp( input, 0, 100 )

Ill show you my code

local health = client:Health()
draw.RoundedBox(0, 58, ScrH() -92, 300 + 4, 14 + 4, Color(40,40,40))
draw.RoundedBox(0, 60, ScrH() -90, health * 3, 14, Color(255,77,77))
draw.SimpleText(health.."%", "Kenz", 70 + 146 , ScrH() -85, Color (255, 255, 255), 1, 1)

Next time, please put the code in code tags to make it easier for people to read.

Anyway, replace

draw.RoundedBox(0, 60, ScrH() -90, health * 3, 14, Color(255,77,77))

with

draw.RoundedBox(0, 60, ScrH() -90, math.Clamp(health * 3, 0, 100), 14, Color(255,77,77))

[editline]10th January 2017[/editline]

That is untested. So, if it errors, please post the error.

And, try it yourself on the armor bar as well if it does the same thing.

Oh, I'm so sorry lol. Change the 100 to 300 in the math.Clamp() because I forgot to take into account the * 3 in your code.

Cheers man it worked, one last thing quickly, as the Garrysmod.org, hp and armour bars font are custom. Do I just put their true text file into materials > fonts folder?

Actually, no. They go in resource/fonts.

[editline]10th January 2017[/editline]

And, make sure to resource.AddFile() the font too.

[KeZzY*]

yea i think i have got it, cheers man

So does resource.AddFile() just go in a lua file called resource.lua in the lua > autorun > server folder?

It doesn't necessary have to. It can be put it in any script that is ran. But, that is one way.

Jeez just realised, money is working. Current code is

	draw.SimpleText("Wallet : $", "Wallet", 278, ScrH() -47, Color(255, 255, 255),TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
	draw.SimpleText(PlayerMoney, "Wallet", 310, ScrH() -55, Color(255, 255, 255), 0, 0) 

Just comes up with Nil

That's because your PlayerMoney variable isn't right. Can you show us the line where you define PlayerMoney?

Make sure you are using Player:getDarkRPVar("money") to retrieve money.

Try using [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/GetMaxHealth]Entity:GetMaxHealth[/url] if you want the bar to accurately represent the fraction of the player's health

Normally, health bars are just capped to display up to 100, so doing so would probably confuse players UNLESS the server purposely has it set like that.

I used this code for my HUD

table.insert( text, {"Wallet: $"..string.Comma((localplayer:getDarkRPVar("money"))), "icon16/money.png"} );

	draw.SimpleText("Wallet: $"..string.Comma((localplayer:getDarkRPVar("money")))", "Wallet", 278, ScrH() -47, Color(255, 255, 255),TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
	draw.SimpleText(PlayerMoney, "Wallet", 310, ScrH() -55, Color(255, 255, 255), 0, 0)

Maybe this should work
