Is there some way of putting a function in a hud where when your hp gets below say 25% a little warning box pops up? Above the crosshair perhaps?
thanks.
This might sound like a good idea but you'll quickly realise that it's going to annoy the living shit out of you when you're about to die, you're fighting something that's nearly dead, and *bam*, a popup box blocks your view.
two things to learn
1) I get very caught up in trivial stuff...aka this.
2) It wouldnt bee a huge thing in the middle, more like the low ammo warning on halo, its there, you see it, but its not gonna obstruct your view.
Mexel's HUD at one point had the health counter about your crosshair, it wasn't displayed until you got hit, and became red when your hp was lower than 1/4. Sometimes it got pretty annoying, but for the most part it worked.
Yes, I use Mexel's HUD with the hp for aliens and ammo for humans right under the crosshair on 1.1.
I very much prefer that to the health, ammo on the bottom of the screen.
