Heal % of player's health?

Garry's Mod coding
#1

Hey guys, I’m messing around with some code here and I’m wondering:

How do I heal a percentage of the player’s health? The current script heals 25 HP to the player that uses the entity, and the number is adjustable, but how would I go about making it heal 50% of the player’s total health instead of a numerical value? If, this IS possible. If not, just say the word.

As always, help appreciated.

ply:Health() * your percentage?

If you want it to be total health, ply:GetMaxHealth() * your percentage.

#3

Wow, of course. Why didn’t I see that earlier. Thanks a bunch.

Ah, now it’s giving me this
“attempt to index global ‘ply’ (a nil value)”
What should I do?

Also, sorry for all these really noob-ish questions.

#4

ply is not defined

#5

How would I define ply?

Yea, I’m sorry, that’s probably a really stupid question with a simple answer.

#6

You should see function ENT:Use(item1, item2), figure out what they are and paste here.

#7

Thanks, I’ll try that.
I’ll probably be back tomorrow with some more questions if I still don’t understand.
Thank for all the help guys.

#8

god damnit just copy in your whole fucking code and paste it here so we can help you already.

#9

function healpercent( ply, p ) – p is a num between 0 and 1 so 0.1 is 10 percent
ply:SetHealth( ply:Health() * ( 1 + p ) )
end

concommand.Add(“HealMe”, function(ply, cmd, arg )
healpercent( ply, (tonumber( arg[1] or “50” ))/100)
end)

Yea sorry I’m retarded I don’t know why I didn’t post it earlier sorry
