[HOWTO] Adding a player statusBar

piX · January 11, 2015

I can't seem to get the status bar to show up, is it not compatible anymore orrrrrr?

It is still compatible, my friend. Have had no issues with it. Go through the Tutorial once more, make sure everything is done correctly. If you still cant get it to work, throw me a PM and I will help you out :)

~~When I tried it, the amount would always return 0, regardless of your actual bank balance.~~

edit: actually, scratch that - I remembered incorrectly, what I tried was EPOCH_bankBalance

Just tried and EPOCH_playerBank returns a value of "any". Tried interacting (deposit/withdrawal) with an ATM to see if that would trigger an update, but no luck.

Guys,

I know some of you got the Bar working on Chernarus Map. I always get a BEC Line 20 Kick.

I tried.

!="execVM \"\MPMissions\_mpCur.Chernarus\scripts\fn_statusBar.sqf\""

!="execVM \"\MPMissions\_mpCur.chernarus\scripts\fn_statusBar.sqf\""

!="execVM \"\MPMissions\epoch.Chernarus\scripts\fn_statusBar.sqf\""

!="execVM \"\MPMissions\epoch.chernarus\scripts\fn_statusBar.sqf\""

Nothing seems to work. Any hints ?

@ Tweeder, try using :

!="execVM \"\MPMissions\epoch.Chernarus\scripts\fn_statusBar.sqf\"

Works for me :)

I've had that issue as well, that why I removed the Bank section and replaced with Player Krypto.

I keep getting kicked for bttleye restriction #17

--EDIT-- Fixed the issue turns out the filter had a slight typo

Is there any way to make this show no decimal places? I have taken out restart time and added stamina but it has like 10 decimal places in it and it makes the bar go off center or off screen for some people.

waitUntil {!(isNull (findDisplay 46))};

As far as I know, No.

Stamina goes 0-1 right?

which is basicle getFatique i think ( the variable).

do the following

_toDisplayStamina = round (EPOCH_playerStamina * 100) / 100.0;

then use

_toDisplayStamina

in the display thingy

cheech420now · January 12, 2015

Im not to good at writing code could you fix the one i posted up for me? I have no clue where to put what you posted. Also since i took out the restart time can I do away with some of the code?

th3c0re · January 12, 2015

Mebay a stupid question but what's the right input to get the bar on top of the screen ?

There, threw in some better grid display and damage also rounded on 4 decimals, stamina rounded on 3 decimals AND commented out time getters

Yeah just add round in front of it like this

round EPOCH_playerStamina

Mebay a stupid question but what's the right input to get the bar on top of the screen ?

Change the location of the Y, you'll see a y= safezone + safezone - 1; Fiddle around with that.

Also I love how the op explicitly states to leave credits yet completely yanked my name out of it lol

Either way this is a horrible way of doing it

ShaneMartin · January 13, 2015

Hi,

Currently having problems with script restriction #20.

Have got VEMF running on the server, so in the kick log it states:

20 " else {

playSound ["hint",true];
};
VEMFChatMsg = nil;
};

[] execVM "scripts\fn_statusBar.sqf"; "

In my Init.sqf, the code goes:

"VEMFChatMsg" addPublicVariableEventHandler {

systemChat (_this select 1);
if (isClass(configFile >> "CfgSounds" >> "tune")) then {
playSound ["tune",true];
} else {
playSound ["hint",true];
};
VEMFChatMsg = nil;
};

[] execVM "scripts\fn_statusBar.sqf";

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Richie · January 13, 2015

Read the OP, it tells you what BE exceptions need made, remember that #20 is line 21, it starts on zero.

ShaneMartin · January 13, 2015

Thanks for the reply,

I have already added all the necessary BE exceptions, including the line 21 one, in my scripts.txt on line 21 which is the 7 exec line I have added on the end:

!="execVM \"\MPMissions\epoch.Altis\scripts\fn_statusBar.sqf\""

Which should stop the kicks, but if you refer to what the scripts.log is referencing then I don't know if the VEMF code needs referencing aswell or I need to put the

[] execVM "scripts\fn_statusBar.sqf";

in a isDedicated container to try and stop it picking the VEMF code.

Thank you for help.

Tricks · January 13, 2015

Ok I am stuuuumped!!! I had this working just fine. Installed VEMF and poof, not working anymore. I have re-installed it again and again with new files and it still doesn't appear. No errors in RPT either..... anyone?

Tricks can you look at your scripts.txt and see if you've got the same kick as me?

Tricks · January 13, 2015

I am not getting kicked, it just wont appear at the bottom. I am on Chernarus AiA lite. My scripts.txt has this:

!="execVM \"\MPMissions\epoch.altis\scripts\fn_statusBar.sqf\"" !="mpmissions\__CUR_MP.Chernarus\init.sqf" !="iLoad init Player: %1" !="execVM \"\MPMissions\epoch.Chernarus\scripts\fn_statusBar.sqf\""

I know it has the Altis one in it...

Ghostrider-GRG · January 14, 2015

The script works very well.

I have had one minor issue.

Periodically the status bar disappears. This is solved by logging out and rejoining the server.

Anyone else had this problem ? Has anyone found a solution ?

i have this problem too.

Ree · January 16, 2015

Just tried both and the damage is bah on both sadly OPs to many numbers and on Zupa its like

0.100

0.200

0.300

0.400

0.500

dead

Any way to just Make Health a % like 100% = Full Health 0% = dead.

if so that be great i think that would be the way to go with it

--------------

I have the same problem with the status bar disappears i was thinking of a Refresh like how A2 Epoch ones had maybe?
