[TUT] HUD Position and Coloring Configuration Menu

Hello and Welcome to this tutorial which is about how to add hud configuration to your main zp43 script.
First I want to thank Game Over Leecho because he is the main reason that I made this tutorial.

Let's get strated:

Remember to indent your code so you cannot fall in warnings

first you must go search for
#include <xs>
and put this under it
#include <fvault>

this is very important because when your client configs his hud, it needs to be saved otherwise every time he connects to the server he will have to edit the hud over and over again and this ain't cool.
fvault is more effecient for saving data and it only requires the .inc file

fvault.inc (12.81 KB)

second under
#include <fvault>
Add
#define CHOICE 0 //SAVING Method 0 For Name, 1 for STEAM_ID and 2 for IP Adress
#define COLOR //If you dont want to add the color menu just add // before the #define

After that search for
new const PLUGIN_VERSION[]
and put this in the next line
#if defined COLOR
new const g_vault_name[] = "HUDConfigColor"
#else
new const g_vault_name[] = "HUDConfig"
#endif

Ok Now Search for
new Float:g_buytime[33]
and on the next line put
new Float:g_HUD[33][2] //for Hud Positioning
#if defined COLOR
new g_HUDCOLOR[33][3] //for Hud Coloring
#endif

Nice, Now Part one Over. Now For part two

First search for
register_clcmd("jointeam", "clcmd_changeteam")
and add these two lines
register_clcmd("say hud", "clcmd_sayhud")
register_clcmd("say /hud", "clcmd_sayhud")

Second search for
register_menu("Admin Modes Menu", KEYSMENU, "menu_modes_admin")
and put this after its line
register_menu("Hud Menu", KEYSMENU, "menu_hud") //Use old menu Style no problem, let's play along with it
#if defined COLOR
register_menu("HudColor Menu", KEYSMENU, "menu_hud_color")
#endif

So far so good Part two is Over, Let's move on to the main part which is three
Now Search for Search for
public client_putinserver(id)
find this line
set_task(5.0, "disable_minmodels", id)
and add this
//Load The Hud Config Data
vault_loaddata(id)

After that Search for
public clcmd_changeteam(id)
now add the following function to make sure it looks like this
public clcmd_changeteam(id)
{
static team
team = fm_cs_get_user_team(id)

// Unless it's a spectator joining the game
if (team == FM_CS_TEAM_SPECTATOR || team == FM_CS_TEAM_UNASSIGNED)
return PLUGIN_CONTINUE;

// Pressing 'M' (chooseteam) ingame should show the main menu instead
show_menu_game(id)
return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
}
public clcmd_sayhud(id)
{
show_menu_hud(id)
}

Alright, now search for
public menu_game(id, key)
and put the following two functions to make sure it looks like kinda this
show_menu_hud(id)
{

if(!g_isconnected[id])
return

static menu[512], len
len = 0

// Title
len += formatex(menu[len], charsmax(menu) - len, "\y-=[\rZP\y]-=\w Welcome to the \yHUD\r Adjustment\w Menu^nConfigure \rHUD \w: ^n^n")

//1. Move the hud up
len += formatex(menu[len], charsmax(menu) - len, "\y|\r1\y|\w.\r UP^n")

//2. Move the hud down
len += formatex(menu[len], charsmax(menu) - len, "\y|\r2\y|\w.\r DOWN^n")

//3. Move the hud to center between up and down
len += formatex(menu[len], charsmax(menu) - len, "\y|\r3\y|\w.\r Center \y(between UP and Down)^n")

//4. Move the hud left
len += formatex(menu[len], charsmax(menu) - len, "\y|\r4\y|\w.\r LEFT^n")

//5. Move the hud Right
len += formatex(menu[len], charsmax(menu) - len, "\y|\r5\y|\w.\r RIGHT^n")

//6. Move the hud to center between right and left
len += formatex(menu[len], charsmax(menu) - len, "\y|\r6\y|\w.\r Center \y(between Right and Left)^n")

#if defined COLOR
//7. Change Hud Color
len += formatex(menu[len], charsmax(menu) - len, "\y|\r7\y|\w.\r Color \yConfiguration^n")
#endif

// 0. Exit
len += formatex(menu[len], charsmax(menu) - len, "^n^n\r|\y0\y|\r. %L", id, "MENU_EXIT")

// Fix for AMXX custom menus
if (pev_valid(id) == PDATA_SAFE)
set_pdata_int(id, OFFSET_CSMENUCODE, 0, OFFSET_LINUX)

show_menu(id, KEYSMENU, menu, -1, "Hud Menu")
}

#if defined COLOR
show_menu_color(id)
{
if(!g_isconnected[id])
return

len = 0

For for the Last Step Search for
set_hudmessage(red, green, blue, HUD_STATS_X, HUD_STATS_Y, 0, 6.0, 1.1, 0.0, 0.0, -1)
it looks like kinda this
else
{
// Show health, class and ammo packs
set_hudmessage(red, green, blue, HUD_STATS_X, HUD_STATS_Y, 0, 6.0, 1.1, 0.0, 0.0, -1)
ShowSyncHudMsg(ID_SHOWHUD, g_MsgSync2, "%L: %d - %L %s - %L %d", id, "ZOMBIE_ATTRIB1", pev(ID_SHOWHUD, pev_health), ID_SHOWHUD, "CLASS_CLASS", class, ID_SHOWHUD, "AMMO_PACKS1", g_ammopacks[ID_SHOWHUD])
}
and replace this
set_hudmessage(red, green, blue, HUD_STATS_X, HUD_STATS_Y, 0, 6.0, 1.1, 0.0, 0.0, -1)
with this
#if defined COLOR
red = g_HUDCOLOR[id][0]
green = g_HUDCOLOR[id][1]
blue = g_HUDCOLOR[id][2]
#endif
set_hudmessage(red, green, blue, g_HUD[id][0], g_HUD[id][1], 0, 6.0, 1.1, 0.0, 0.0, -1)

so it can look like this
else
{
#if defined COLOR
red = g_HUDCOLOR[id][0]
green = g_HUDCOLOR[id][1]
blue = g_HUDCOLOR[id][2]
#else
set_hudmessage(red, green, blue, g_HUD[id][0], g_HUD[id][1], 0, 6.0, 1.1, 0.0, 0.0, -1)
#endif
ShowSyncHudMsg(ID_SHOWHUD, g_MsgSync2, "%L: %d - %L %s - %L %d", id, "ZOMBIE_ATTRIB1", pev(ID_SHOWHUD, pev_health), ID_SHOWHUD, "CLASS_CLASS", class, ID_SHOWHUD, "AMMO_PACKS1", g_ammopacks[ID_SHOWHUD])
}

Questions
Why my favourite colour isn't on the menu?
Because it ain't compatible with the hud.
Why am I getting warnings?
Because you didnt indent you goddamn code.
How Can I disable the Coloring?
find this #define COLOR and make it look like this //#define COLOR
How can I make my hud refresh instantly?
first go here
set_task(1.0, "ShowHUD", id+TASK_SHOWHUD, _, _, "b")
and make it look like this
set_task(0.1, "ShowHUD", id+TASK_SHOWHUD, _, _, "b")
then go here
set_hudmessage(red, green, blue, g_HUD[id][0], g_HUD[id][1], 0, 6.0, 1.1, 0.0, 0.0, -1)
and change 1.1 to 0.2

I am Getting Compiling Errors. What should I do?
Post your sma and error log in this thread and tag Zino

How can I show some gratitude?
Just give a karma

Can I ask other questions other than in this topic?
No, Make a thread or Use Google
