Custom Monitor Icons like the Life icon using the players SPR2_LIFE sprite?

[Sir Thoksalot]

Could I possibly have a speed shoes icon on the speed shoes monitor like how the life icon does with the players SPR2_LIFE sprite?

You technically can, and its quite easy, if im not wrong. I ain't a proffesional, but in the short experience i had making characters, one of the things i remember its that you could edit every sprite you want, as long as you have the correct name for it, and adding it into the wad file, to load it later ingame

Now I just need to know how to code it, I'm guessing it has to do with the hud or the mobj

You don’t code it. You literally just find the original graphic’s name and name the new graphic the exact same thing

Well, I'm not trying to replace the graphic, but make it use the player's Sprite2 as it does with the player's life icon. I checked found the speed shoes icon in the sprites folder and IIRC that'd mean that they aren't player sprites, unlike SPR2_LIFE. So what I'm saying is I want the monitor to use a freeslotted player sprite instead of the default one

I'm guessing you want to make it default but when you see it as your char its custom

In that case, freeslot an alternate version for every state that the speed shoes uses, then set their state infos to the infos of their originals, and then change the sprite.

Now for the rest I don't have much ideas, but maybe set a timer for the monitor that makes the monitor use the alternate states instead and reset them back before you swap to have it change back. With this timer idea you could have the player use a look function and if it's speedshoes you set the timer up to say a TICRATE.
