Nitrobar

[Mefisto_PL]

How I can replace speedbar in race gamemode to nitrobar? I ask because on wiki I don't found anything to help :

[Paper]

you must modify the race scripts for make the bar relative to the nitro and if you want you can change the image ^^

[Mefisto_PL]

but in which file?

[Castillo]

Is not that easy, because there's no such function "getNitroLeft" or something similar.

There's a resource called "race_nos", it's a script which has a nitro meter.

[Mefisto_PL]

Yes it is but I want create bar, not meter

[Castillo]

It's easy if you have DX drawing knowledge.

[Mefisto_PL]

Can you give me events ?

[Castillo]

Events...? you mean functions?

You only need dxDrawRectangle and if you want to draw the nitro left in a text then dxDrawText.

[Mefisto_PL]

ahh Okey thanks

He can use timers, nitro durations i definied, but i don't remember it

1) get a car

2) tune it with NOS

3) get a stopwatch

4) trigger the nitro

5) write down the time

6) create another bar in the "race" resource

7) set this bar to "1" if the car has nitro, else don't

if the car has nitro and "fire" is pressed, activate a timer which triggers each 200 ms and reduces the bar (1-(maxNitroTime - timercalls*200)/maxNitroTime)

9) if (maxNitroTime - timercalls*200) <= 0 then set the bar to 0

10) if another nitro is ready (measure that time, too maybe) or a nitro was picked up, set the bar to 1 again

11) ???

12) PROFIT

that was my idea ^^
