Using 2 different status bars for 2 different player classes

[IBA]

Hello, I tried googling and reading on this forum and couldn’t find what I was hoping to get an answer to.

I have 2 player classes in my wad that you could choose to play as, if I wanted player class 1 to have a different status bar than player class 2 is that even possible? And if so how would I go about it?

How is your status bar written?

If you used SBARINFO, you will have to use a PlayerClass / PlayerType command to start a new block and put your status bar there, for example like this:

Code: Select all

	PlayerType Player1
	{
		DrawImage "SHOTA0", 100, 100;
	}
	Else PlayerType Player2
	{
		DrawImage "SGN2A0", 200, 100;
	}

If you used ZScript, you can just check if the player's class is the one you want and draw the status bar, like this:

Code: Select all

	If(CPlayer.mo is "Player1"){Draw();}
	Else If(CPlayer.mo is "Player2"){DrawOther();}

Now if you just have 2 player classes, then you don't need the second check and can just use Else, I put it there for the sake of completeness.

The hexen status bar changes elements based on class. It's a good guide to follow:
