Title: Completely and Utterly Pointless Use of WM's Lua thigy
Post by: At on April 20, 2006, 03:57:42 pm

:D\-<

Just acquainting myself with Lua and WMCoolman's implementation in FSO.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/atalhlla/Picture9.png)

The init file :

Code: [Select]

--## Init for the DancingManHud thingy. ##--

-- Def this here to make it globalish.
Frame = 1
Index = 1 --## Index for the drawing of the arms. ##

Arms = { "\\", "|", "/", "|" }
The Hud File :

Code: [Select]

-- Draw a dancing ascii man at the center of the screen.
-- Let's have the char change about every 1 second.

FPS = 1 / ba.getFrametime()
X = gr.getScreenWidth() / 2
Y = gr.getScreenHeight() / 2

if Frame < FPS then
Frame = Frame + 1
else
Frame = 1

if Index >= 4 then
Index = 1
else
Index = Index + 1
end
end


gr.setColor( 255, 255, 255, 128 )

gr.drawString( ":D" .. Arms[ Index ] .. "-<", X, Y )
:)

Why do I think of Hot Shots when I see that HUD?

Would that be the Donkey Kong targetting reticle?

That the one! All we need now is for the hud to pounce on the enemy ship and start punching it ;)

Bahaha.  Maybe if they're in the center of the reticle...

It's not utterly pointless. I'm sure the warm feeling WMC gets in his chest when he sees this will make it all worthwhile :D
