I am working on a gui sys for a server and got a problem, im using client.ammo, its showing the img correctly and all, but it wont update if i have client.ammo = 1, and change to 10, then i need to update the script for it to change..

So thats what i need help with right now, so it will update, some one?

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  for (i=1; i<client.ammo; i+=1)
  {
    showimg(200+i, "mercia_newgui.png", screenwidth - 302 -(i*4), screenheight - 75);
    changeimgpart(200+i, 220, 137, 5, 10);
    changeimgvis(200+i, 5);
  }
  setshape(1, 32, 32*client.ammo);
  setTimer(.5);
}

You need to redraw it when the ammo count changes, but I can't help you with that since I don't know the context.

However, a brute force solution can look like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated()

{

  setTimer(.5);

}



function onTimeout()

{

  hideimgs(200, 300);

  

  for (i=1; i<client.ammo; i+=1)

  {

    showimg(200+i, "mercia_newgui.png", screenwidth - 302 -(i*4), screenheight - 75);

    changeimgpart(200+i, 220, 137, 5, 10);

    changeimgvis(200+i, 5);

  }

  setshape(1, 32, 32*client.ammo);

  setTimer(0.05);

}

Nooo!! I know your intentions are well but it's never a good idea to start scripters off like that, at least without mentioning the correct way (sorry if I come off rude, not my goal at all).

Ideally the gun system or whatever changes that value would send a "trigger" to the GUI system, and update it. This reduces the processor power needed to run the loop 20 times a second hiding and then reshowing all the images.

Also, not sure what this is supposed to do:

PHP Code:


		
			
setshape(1, 32, 32*client.ammo);

setShape() is for level NPCs. You don't need to use it for setting the size of showimgs :)
