Title: About Hud SEXPs' arguments. What should I replace <any string> with?
Post by: Mobius on September 29, 2008, 12:40:34 pm

What the title suggests. When I use one of the following SEXPs:

hud-set-text

hud-set-text-num

hud-set-coords

hud-set-frame

hud-set-color

...one of the arguments is the name of a specific HUD gauge. My problem is that, unlikely most SEXPs, these ones don't show the list of HUD gauges so I need to type their name. If I remember well there was one such list elsewhere, but I don't know where at the moment.

Can you please help me? I need the whole list because I need to make changes to all gauges. Thanks in advance. :)

I asked about these awhile back.  Don't know if they do anything.  Was told to use scripting instead.

All I need is a list of names...I'll then verify if the SEXPs work properly...

...HUD gauges should have a name, right?

Hmmmm. Maybe I could try figuring out what they are and making FRED give you a list.

Can't promise anything as I have a list of things to do as long as my arm.

There now your arm's longer so you can add to your list.  :D

That just gives me more space to add stuff before this. :p

Maybe there's a list of gauges in the code?

In the training thing, to flash a hud gauge... doesn't that list them?

Hey, you're right! I remember it now!

I'll check it later, as soon as I get home. :)

That's the thing. I've never been entirely certain if those are the only ones that work with the SEXP.

HUD SEXPs should use that list for argument replacement...
