Integer value displaying

[HellBlade64]

I'm working on a secret right now that relies on specific integer values to be met, and I am trying to figure out how to see what the integer values are while testing.
I have a passive display working via puke to display the values as HudMessage text, but I was wondering if there's a way to make it an active display that increments/decrements with the integer values.

If you are working with ACS, then you could write a simple OPEN or ENTER script.

Example:

Code: Select all

script 1 OPEN
{
	SetHudSize(640, 480, true);
	HudMessage(s:"The integer value is: ",
		d:YOUR_VAR_NAME;
		HUDMSG_PLAIN, 1, CR_RED, 200.1, 300.1, 1.0);
	delay(1);
}

SetHudSize lets you set a screen size, in this example 640x480, and then your X and Y values for the location of the HudMessage become pixel coordinates. The .1 at the end of the XY positions tell the engine to use the upper left corner of the text as the point the text is anchored to.

This code should display a continuous message to the screen -- replace YOUR_VAR_NAME with the name of your variable.

Lastly the delay is necessary otherwise the script will be treated as runaway and terminated by the VM.


Lastly, lastly, if you are using ZScript -- that's a whole other ball game.
