Gauge Caption
|
I'm working on making a gauge that displays my current and maximum health, mana, and ego for Lusternia. Everything I have in the gauge works properly, however, when I try putting:
@health/@maxhealth
In for the "Name" of the gauge, it returns:
/
Altering the value of the variables causes the gauge to raise and lower as it should. The low-level color trips when it should... everything works except the Caption. If I just enter "health" into the name, it shows "health", but if I try using the variables I get blanks.
I've tried:
@health/@maxhealth
[@health]/[@maxhealth]
(@health)/(@maxhealth)
<@health>/<@maxhealth>
Nothing seems to work. What am I missing here? |

Maybe {@health}/{@maxhealth} ??
I think that {} expand the variables.
Sorry for my english |

What about making a separate variable...
HValue=@health/@maxhealth
...and then putting @HValue as the name of the button?
EDIT: You'd probably want to make sure all three values are designated as "Float" -type variables. |

I was doing some playing with variables and such in the command line. Another approach to the situation might be to force evaluation of the expression by enclosing the entire expression in parentheses for the Name of the button.
(@health/@maxhealth)
Again, you probably want to do some tweaking with the variable types and such. |

 I'm guessing Larkin's suggestion is more along the lines of what you're looking for, Lazul.

This works fine for me for a gauge
HP @hp/@MaxHp
of cause you'll have to have a trigger to capture the hp/gp etc |
