deathbycrowbar Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I was wondering if it would be possible to add something to the HUD in zs which says whether autoredeem is on or not. It would save me and many others having to chat spam "!autoredeem" when we need to check if its enabled. Quote Link to comment
Deluvas Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Yes, it is possible! Give me a moment. Edited July 7, 2009 by -N7-BloodGuard Deluvas Quote Link to comment
Chikennugget1 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Huh?You can check if it's enabled or disabled by pressing F4 Quote Link to comment
deathbycrowbar Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 no because that only shows your default settingI often switch between having it enabled and disabled. The thing in the options menu is only for keeping it the same, it doesnt tell you if its enabled at that very moment. Quote Link to comment
Chikennugget1 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yes but you can see that just by seing if the box is filled or not ,but what would be better is a non-toggle F4 menu,you need to press f4 to see the options and if you let it then it disappears. Quote Link to comment

Clavus Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 no because that only shows your default settingI often switch between having it enabled and disabled. The thing in the options menu is only for keeping it the same, it doesnt tell you if its enabled at that very moment.It always shows your latest setting, and it saves between maps (and if you shut down GMod normally).Turn autoredeem on and it will remain on, turn it off and it will remain off between rejoining and map changes. No use crowding the HUD with more information. Quote Link to comment
Deluvas Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) It writes to file ? Well, in that case, i don't know how your mechanism works. As for the "crowding the HUD with info" : even if the setting saves, we always turn it on and off and we forget about it .. Maybe a simple -- if GetConVar (..blablaautoredeem) == 1 then .. draw ..bla bla ENABLED ,elseif GetConVar == 0 , draw bla bla Disabled -- script. That would really do. (Maybe just show 1 or 0 on the HUD, instead of "Autoredeem is enabled.") ... pleassee EDIT : Maybe something on the hud like - "AR - 1", so it doesn't crowd the HUD.

Chikennugget1 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I have an idea,it's "economic",it doesn't takes so much place on the hud and it can be useful,why not an icon for autoredeem on/off?It's just some icon near the lifebar (or anywhere else,depends of Clavus opinion of course^^) when you type !autoredeem you have some "nike" icon with it,and when it's desactivated it's a red cross,I made a pic to make it more clear: Quote Link to comment
Clavus Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 More nonsense info on the HUD will only make it harder to understand for new players. Stop being lazy and check your options menu! Quote Link to comment
RoboRobb Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 More nonsense info on the HUD will only make it harder to understand for new players. Stop being lazy and check your options menu!I think I'd have to agree, the more information you have on screen, the more off-putting It is for new players. I'm sure pressing f4 isn't to strenuous Quote Link to comment

I'm sure pressing f4 isn't to strenuous hm fair enough. I didn't realise that was how the toggle thing worked. It would still be quicker just to do it the chatbox way than pressing f4 though but I guess there was no real issue in the first placel. Just an idea. I think I'll stop having 'ideas', most of them seem to suck XD Quote Link to comment
