Tactical Console

Well-known member
Is there a ay to display the HP on the tactical console as a percentage rather than the actual number...
I want to utilize the console to convey current state to players with out revealing actual HP of other PCs, NPCs, and creatures.
With a % it could display something like 100/100 or a "health meter" would be nice.
Thanks for feedback
 
Thanks for the suggestion, but unless there is a lot of support for this, it is unlikely to happen, because it would require lots of work to mess with the tactical console.
 
Humm.. Puzzled...
I'm no "expert" when it comes to HL.. but " it would require lots of work to mess with the tactical console." confuses me.. Maybe I am "over-simplifying", but since the total HP value and the Current HP value are both already displayed, I don't see "alot of work" to divide one number by the other and display that value as a %.... Is there a method in a Developers Tool Kit or the Editor to take that next step?
Granted it would take some work to create a "bar" that would have to calculate wounded, versus bloodied, versus critical....
Thanks for the rapid replies.
 
It'd be more about making a setting for "Display HP as percentage" and then moving things around in the tactical console to display the bar and percentage in the most aesthetically pleasing way.
 
resurrection.....
Just a revist, and reverbage.. I get that it might require abit of "pretty" for the aesthetics, but again doesnt seem like a total revamp?
Again maybe missing something here...
Further, it (as far as I can tell) cannot be done through the Developers Tool Kit correct? I'm happy to do the leg work (since this is not obviously a desired use from the mass community) as it would save me utiliing two different products.
