[Open Assets] Lua - Boss HUD Example

[K.S.]

Simplistic Boss HUD example script, shown about a week ago as a basic test of Lua HUD functionality.

This script, and its graphics, may freely be used in any SRB2 modifications. It should also work with any custom bosses with no changes.

Update: Does not iterate through the entire thinkers list every frame now. Should be more efficient in large maps (like NiGHTS mode maps).

Thanks for this. It's always nice to know how long it'll take to kill a boss.

For such a simple mod, it's really effective.

Why can't this just be embedded within SRB2 2.1? I mean, I'm pretty sure we ALL need it.

Because it's not the way the classic games did it, and the classics are perfection.

Why does it matter if the classics did it? Having a life bar for a boss is better than not having one.

How hard is it to count to eight, anyway?

 

[Sapheros]

People can miscount, I mean do you know how many hits it takes to defeat the ERZ3 Boss without the script?

 

[Puppyfaic]

It takes 12 hits, iirc. I may have miscounted, but I'm pretty sure.

The boss HUD disappears when the game is minimized.

The boss HUD disappears when the game is minimized.

That's because it's showing the Tab key HUD, rather than the normal Game HUD. Just tap tab again to fix it when that happens, just like if you've ever alt+tabbed out of Match and got stuck with the scores screen up. :P

Nice lua script

Methinks you missed the sarcasm, Knux. Just a thought.

 

[Blackhex]

What sarcasm? :|
The game is based on the Classics, not in the now-crappy modern games.
