AlliedModders - [TUT] User Icon Status

On this tutorial, I will examplain / show examples about user status icon.
Status icon is a hud icon placed in the screen of player, and is used in some cases for indicates user status.
Can use this for example if an player have on him equip and rocket laucher, to show an icon to indicate that ; it's for aspect ;)

To make to show at a player an hud icon, the icon must be created in a message constant.
Now, let's start:
• First of all, we will declare a variabile for get user msgid. Variable will be called iconstatus.
So,

PHP Code:


		
			
new iconstatus

• In plugin_init, we use variable:

PHP Code:


		
			
iconstatus = get_user_msgid("StatusIcon")

• Like how i alearly said, we will make to show the status icon with a message constant.
We start with:

PHP Code:


		
			
 message_begin(MSG_ONE,iconstatus,{0,0,0},id)

• After, we will write a byte with the type of show:
Are available 3 types of show:
0 = Hide
1 = Show
2 = Flash
So we wil use:

PHP Code:


		
			
write_byte(1)

That means will show the icon status.

• After, will write string the name of sprite icon
Are available 88 icon status.
I maked screenshots where i saw necessary one.

12. d_knife:
Also are available all weapons with prefix d_* .Ex: d_ak47, d_awp, d_mp5navy.

15. suit_full:

• I didn't take screenshots to all icons, because rests of them are just lines or stuff like that, and i don't saw any point to use it.
• I used name of icons but without screenshots because limit of images on a thread is 10 :(
• I want to give some credits to Alka because helped me to make last snapshots .

So, we will use

PHP Code:


		
			
write_string("sprite name")

• Now we will write the color of icon, in rgb format:

PHP Code:


		
			
 write_byte(r)
 write_byte(b)
 write_byte(g)

• And finnish the message constant

PHP Code:


		
			
message_end()

And complete example, to show an hud icon with icon when user is on air

PHP Code:


		
			
#include <amxmodx>
#include <fakemeta>


new iconstatus;

public plugin_init() {
    register_plugin("Status Icon","0.1","SAMURAI");
    
    register_forward(FM_PlayerPreThink,"fw_prethink");
    iconstatus = get_user_msgid("StatusIcon");
    
}

public fw_prethink(id)
{
    if(!(pev(id,pev_button) & FL_ONGROUND))
    {    
        message_begin(MSG_ONE,iconstatus,{0,0,0},id);
        write_byte(1); // status (0=hide, 1=show, 2=flash)
        write_string("dmg_poison"); // sprite name
        write_byte(0); // red
        write_byte(255); // green
        write_byte(0); // blue
        message_end();
    }
    
}
