Thread: Huddraw Helper v1.0

Huddraw Helper is here, version 1.0 and probably final as long as no one finds any bugs, unless I add more line support lol.

Everyone lemme know what you think, and if you find any bugs let me know, I'm pretty sure it's perfect.

Readme & info::
Wonderfully helpful script for easy setup of huddraws, whether it's text or shader.
Very simple to use, uses the same cvars for everything, you just add the line number to the end of the cvar
Ex: 'font 9' will change line's 1 font to choice 9, while 'font2 9' will do the same thing to line 2, etc etc.


The script auto loads the first line, and uses index 200 by default. EVERYTHING can be changed by cvar, literally EVERYTHING.

Just like the Fog Maker, place it in your main or extract as you wish, and in your map script

exec global/hudhelp.scr

=====================================================
Gotcha's Huddraw Helper script
=====================================================

Cvars:

1.) help me <- Type this in console for help

2.) f list <- Type this in console for font list

3.) c list <- Type this in console for a color list

4.) line# "x" - on/off Use this to turn on a new line, line 1 is always on, so 'line2 on'
turns on line2, all the way up to line5.
To edit these new lines, 2-5, you must add the line # to your cvar.
Ex: changing the left-right position of line 2 with the 'lr' cvar would be 'lr2 -200' to move to -200.
Line 3 would be 'lr3 -200' and so on, simple eh?

5.) vs "x" - Virtual size, default 1

6.) hor "x" - Horizontal position, left/center/right, default right

7.) ver "x" - Vertical position, top/center/bottom, default top

8.) ud "x" - Move line up and down, subtract to move line up, add to move line down, min = 0, max = 470
(depending on font size) default = line 1 100, line 2 110, line 3 120, line 4 130, line 5 140

9.) lr "x" - Move line left and right, bigger negative number moves left, smaller moves right.
Max depends on font size/text length, for default text min = -640, max = -135, default -150

10.) w "x" - Set the width, default 100

11.) h "x" - Set the hieght, default 100

12.) alpha "x" - Set the alpha, default 1.0

13.) text "x" - Set your text to display, default ******DEFAULT******

14.) font "x" - Used with f list to set the font you want, default 11

15.) color "x" - Text color, only supports 8 premade colors, black, white, purple, yellow, cyan, blue, green, and red

16.) shader "x" - Used to reference in-game shaders found in texture folders
Usage: 'shader textures/sprites/moon1'
Setting 'shader "off"' will turn the shader off and go back to text.

17.) idx 'x' - Added last minute for convienence, this allows setting the index numbers, incase you already use
lines 200-204, as with all the other commands add the line # to it to change other lines.

Hey

Looks awesome.

Although for some feedback i would avoid using and setting so many cvars as it can overload the game, there is a MAX_CVAR error when using so many cvars.
My advice is to do what other mods have done like Admin Pro, My weapon mod, etc is to use just ONE cvar for all settings, and just split the cvar up to apply your settings.

So it could be something like
rcon hudhelper "line#:command:value"

Then in your script, you loop checkin that cvar, when not 0 or nil, take the value, change the settings required, then set back to 0 and repeat.

That might be a good challenge for you to increase your knowledge :P
