Make a simpler example/tutorial of custom HUD

Katalijst

Hello !

I find the RPGHud a bit complicated to get without tutorial or doc of how to make a custom HUD, I think it should be better to do a tutorial with a simpler custom hud, for example it could be just showing and icon, and then another example about to show icon + quantity like the arrow one of rpghud.

rpghuds is an example hud created with the itemsadder java api, it's meant for developers who want to add some huds to their plugins.

itemsadder offers an easy to use huds system too, you can check 2 examples: thirst and mana.

LoneDev no plan for a simpler example, for documentation or for API revamp ?

Katalijst

I know it is for developper but I think it would be good to have a tutorial on how to use ItemsAdder Api to make custom hud.

Or maybe a revamp of the hud api to make it easier to work with ? Cause in rpghuds it's so imbricated in layers, which is good but not really for learning from api and it's hard to see what are the things you need to do with the API

LoneDev

I don't see how it can be made easier.
Huds are complex stuff to begin with.
With ItemsAdder you can achieve basic HUDs creation very fast and easily by checking the already provided tutorials and examples.
You can create a thirst indicator or mana indicator without knowing Java or coding! You can do it with a few lines of YML configuration and a few images.

If you want to make a complex HUD like the Compass, Money indicator and similar you have to learn to code in Java and use my free open source RPGhuds as base to learn.

Hi LoneDev, i'm really enjoying your work for making our life easier. It's really really cool to add contents with your plugins and i've made a lot of stuff for my server and i am very grateful to you for that. Because our creativity can express itself even more! But now i would like to concentrate myself on a mana HUDS. I have already dl and installed all your addons for that: RPGHUDS and the two default itemsadder Packs. I have followed your guide step by step but now i'm stucked..

I don't now the way to get my mana bars fonctional.. it appears in my server. It works good with /iaplayerstats command. But it is static and dosent moove when i use a mana items or mana skills I'm lost with the HUDS java developpers guide and the change huds skript guide. I've found the placeholder special section and the triggers section and i tried something in my huds yml file like a script. But i'm a beginner and i don't know how to merge the guide in one files, and apply them on my mana huds.. I have search a lot of informations for that but i really don't know how to manage and use them.. You have already made a lot of tutos and i know that it can be boring to learn code step by step to begginers. Would you like to help me a one more time please ? Gratefully thanks

Pil0uf4ce please do not comment on other people threads if it's not related to the initial issue.
You are probably OP and so you have all permissions.
You have to negate the bypass permissions for the huds.
