Plugin category: Rpg, Fun Suggested name: HealthStatus What I want: Well I would love it to have a health status above your head but below your name. I know some big servers have that plugin. I would love for only players to have this status on how much health they have by having 20 as their max. After a player is 10 blocks away or squatting, the display above their head of the health disappears. It doesn't require spout and an example would have it say; Health: 20, then when they get hit, Health: 16. Ideas for commands: No commands needed. Ideas for permissions: healthstatus.display, healthstatus.see.others When I'd like it by: No specific date but it shouldn't take more than 3 days, I assume.
This is not possible without Spout (or a shared client and server mod), for the simple reason that a Bukkit plugin can't affect the graphical rendering of the tag. The best you'll be able to get is something using TagAPI to actually CHANGE their name tag to a health bar drawn with hashes or dashes or something, and maybe alternate it between their name and the "health bar" characters.
It's not possible if you're not up to date with 1.5. This can be done in 1.5, it was actually one of the things they added in that patch.
I didn't know that . . . I thought I'd seen most of the new stuff in the latest Bukkit build (I am running and compiling against the snapshots), but I must've missed that. *immerses himself in the doxygen*
Currently I don't think it's added in the bukkit API (don't quote me on that as I am not sure) but I'm going to guess the severs that have the feature use either a custom bukkit build or some other method.
Ahh . . . I've been looking into ways to use a bci library to hotmod craftbukkit in-memory so some of these techniques would be available in plugins, but bytecode editing is so tetchy.
Do you think its possible to make this then? Or can somebody make it because the plugins don't custom craftbukkit's. They use the scoreboard gui to help them make it or something like that.
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Scoreboard You can do this using the /scoreboard command. (Although last I checked the latest dev versions of 1.5 don't have /scoreboard implemented yet, so you may need to wait)
Yeah, it'd require manually sending packets to the client. Best to wait until there's a well-formed API for it.
