[Need help with a Math Script for RP]

I'll tell you one thing, you're going to want to keep it simple. I do like the idea for the dialog input, though. I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to make a dialog "menu" with buttons, and a few clicks could do most of the work... You could have a couple of options, like healing, damage, etc., and then type in how many points and click "Ok".

I'm tempted to type something up for that... Though I'd probably be tempted also to just use chat commands on a GM channel to deal specific amounts of damage to correspond with the results of dice rolls, like if the roll came up 19 on a d20 (hypothetical d20, mind you), you'd type something like "/12345 playername 19d20" or something similar, and it would tick that many HP off the player whose name you used... Or just type in the channel number, player name, and how many points of damage to deal. Not exactly what you're wanting, though.

It should be easy enough to hack something together with what Xiija posted, but if it gives you too much trouble we're definitely here to help you out; I have quite a bit of experience myself with my own combat meter, which works very similar to what you're describing (it uses messages sent on hidden channels rather than collisions). Please keep us up to date on how it goes, too, even if you get it all finished!

Yeah, the whole point of what we're trying to do is so that it doesn't rely on collisions, because a lot of our players have low end PCs. I will try to keep y'all updated on how it goes. I had a friend of mine try to take a look at it yesterday who knows at least a little more than I do about scripting and we're trying to figure it out. But we wanted to be able for people to do it while we're offline, because I have a full time job, which is why we're trying to make a hud or something. Lol! I appreciate your help

above your head sounds like a titler, .... https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Multiline-Titler/6735253

Awesome, those should help. I have a friend trying to help me with it, so I'll send these on over to him! Thanks!

And yeah, we're currently using a titler that says your HP and stuff, but we're having to use a lot of math to deduct how many HP you have left after you calculate how hard the monster hits you and all that jazz.

Hello! I'm pretty new to scripting, in which I mean that I don't know how to at all, lol! I would however like some help learning, or figuring out if there's a script that already exists that I need.

So, some friends and I are starting just a mini rp-sim kinda thing that's very loosely based on D&D in which it uses dice rolls, a grid system, and a bit of math to add or subtract health from either players or monsters that they're fighting. Since a lot of them have lower-end PCs the traditional fighting and battle huds won't work for us, since a lot of them require your character to physically move around and attack/hit other players with certain weapons and whatnot. A lot of time some of them lag a lot more than others who have higher end PCs, so it makes the fighting unfair and not very fun. 

I've been trying for a while to figure out how to make a HUD, or a script that when you click on object you're wearing it'll bring up a menu and do the following:

Set a base HP amount, so when you level up your HP can be increased.

Type in an amount to either add or subtract from your HP and it'll automatically do the math and show above your head, or the monster's head. So like "42/100 HP"

I'm just not sure where to start with all of that, and I've been looking for about an hour or more. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!

[Mesh not loading]

Yaay, it was because of the other graphics driver, thank you!

That seemed to have worked

[Mesh not loading]

Hello~

I'm having an issue with my mesh not loading.

On everyone else's screens they say that they're loading just fine, but it happens to me no matter what viewer I load in on.

(and I'm not sure how to insert images, so here's a link to the picture) http://i.imgur.com/bF1nz49.jpg

I've been able to run SL perfectly fine in the past with no issues like this, and I run a shop in the marketplace as well, so you can see why this is really frustrating. 

Here's my graphics card info and stuff, so maybe somebody who understands about it can help.

Graphics Card Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc.
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7400M Series

CPU: AMD A8-5500 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics

 

Not only that, but I use firestorm and when I press ctrl+p to open up preferences it won't load. I'm not sure what's going on with that, but the mesh thing for sure is happening across all viewers I try.

 

Any and all help would be appreciated!
