📘 Presentation

Dare to be original with Gmod Health Management + HUD Editor!

On GMod, as soon as a HUD is released, there is a trend effect and everyone ends up offering the same one. The majority of the servers do not offer a unique content nor an identity of their own when everyone ends up with the same thing, this is what I tried to break with this script. We agree, the goal is not to imitate the others but rather to create and bring its personal touch to its server, this difference is often what makes the little extra thing on a server.

How about adopting your own style?

Here, I wanted to make sure that you have the opportunity to be creative and do what you want, when you want and how you want and then change your mind and start over! Then it will always be possible to modify your HUD without having to buy another one that can't be modified the way you want or having an unknown coder rip you off (I've already heard too much about this kind of abuse on the Help Discord).

Modify freely! There you have 19 HUD styles that serve as a base that you can adjust as you like, this is a good base for a script that was originally not intended as a HUD customization system. In the HUD screenshot I only show a small glimpse of all that is possible. There is a whole range of choices, styles, sizes, colors, fonts, not to mention the multitude of icons you can create, all without uploading them via the workshop but just with an image link.

Originally, it is a system for managing and configuring everything that interferes with health and armor points.

⚙️ A simple configuration file

Most of the configuration is done from an interface, which makes the configuration file very minimal.

You will be able to configure it:

cfg.FX_to_Open = "F1" -- 0 = Disabled, defines whether the menu can be opened with the F1 F2 F3 F4 key.

cfg.Delay_HP_Regen = 20 -- If the HP Regen module is enabled, every 20 seconds the user receives HPs.

cfg.Hide_Empty_Armor_Bar = 0 -- 1= Hide the armor bar when it is empty. 0 = OFF

cfg.Custom_Fonts = "Trebuchet24" -- Custom HUD Fonts

cfg.MaxHealth_define_per_lvl = 0 -- 0 = User must buy or find the item that increases his max health, 1 = Max health goes up with user's level.

cfg.MaxArmor_define_per_lvl = 0 -- 0 = User must buy or find the item that increases his max armor, 1 = Max armor increases with user's level, 2 = Max armor is equal to max health.

cfg.Health_start = 100 -- This is the starting health of the user who starts on your server.

cfg.Armor_start = 100 -- This is the starting armor of the user.

cfg.MaxHealth_gain_per_levelup = 10 -- The additional max health per level up.

cfg.MaxHealth_max = 1000 -- Set the max health limit on your server. A player will not be able to have more.

cfg.MaxArmor_gain_per_level = 10 -- The extra max armor per level up.

cfg.MaxArmor_max = 1000 -- Set the max armor limit on your server.

🪄 Spawnable entities in Gmod Health Modules + HUD Editor

The addon includes spawnable entities that can be used as examples or tools to enrich the content of your server, e.g. by placing them as loot or merchantable items at a merchant. Spawnable entities can be disabled in the configuration file with the variable, cfg.Enable_Items_Spawnable.

The different spawnable entities are :
Health points which have the effect of recharging the health points of the user who picks them up by pressing USE on him.
The armor points which have the effect of reloading the armor points of the user who picks them up by pressing USE on this one.
Max health points upgrades which have the effect of upgrading the user's max health points limit when he picks them up. This max limit is saved and the user keeps his progress even when he disconnects.
The spawnable entities are automatically deleted after 30 seconds by default, this time can be defined in the configuration file.
