Zugg Software :: View topic - Feature request: Tri-color gauges

Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2010 12:11 pm

Simple request, actually, but makes a lot of sense in terms of gauges.

What I'd like to see is the ability to set expressions to show more than just the 'low' and 'gauge' colors. For example:

Expression1: @hp=>80 Color: green
Expression2: @hp=>30 AND @hp<80 Color: yellow
Expression3: @hp<30 Color: red

It just makes sense visually, I think. I don't even think it could be scripted, but if it can, I'd appreciate the know-how of scripting it.

You could probably script it with a trigger tied to the variable and the %btncol() function. In one mud, the local equivalent of magical mana is reported as colors, with red being the least quantity. Unfortunately the mud doesn't report numbers for anything, but it was well known what the numbers were behind different colors of aura. So I rigged up a gauge to display my current approximate aura relative to my estimated maximum aura, complete with changing the color of the bar to match my aura.

That's been requested before and is on the wish-list for the future. Unfortunately it requires low-level changes in a 3rd party component, so the priority is pretty low right now, sorry.
