hit damage gui

[anon_71564648]

so i want a simple blood damage gui to show whenever the player takes damage, so far ive got this, but it doesn’t seem to work.

var texture : Texture;

function ApplyDamage (damage : float) {
if (hitPoints < 0.0)
return;

// Apply damage
hitPoints -= damage;

// Play pain sound when getting hit - but don’t play so often
if (Time.time > gotHitTimer painBig painLittle) {
// Play a big pain sound
if (hitPoints < maximumHitPoints * 0.2 || damage > 20) {
audio.PlayOneShot(painBig, 1.0 / audio.volume);
gotHitTimer = Time.time + Random.Range(painBig.length * 2, painBig.length * 3);
} else {
// Play a small pain sound
audio.PlayOneShot(painLittle, 1.0 / audio.volume);
gotHitTimer = Time.time + Random.Range(painLittle.length * 2, painLittle.length * 3);
GUI.DrawTexture(Rect(0, 0, 1950, 1100), texture);

that codes just a snippet of the fpsplayer.

Are you calling ApplyDamage from OnGUI? GUI.DrawTexture and the other GUI functions only work when called from OnGUI.

but how do i get it to work, all i want is it to draw the texture when i get hit.

A typical way to handle something like this is to set a boolean variable in the ApplyDamage function and then check for this value in OnGUI:-

var showBlood: boolean;

function ApplyDamage (damage : float) {
   ...
  showBlood = true;
   ...
}


function OnGUI() {
  if (showBlood) {
    GUI.DrawTexture(Rect(0, 0, 1950, 1100), texture);
  }
}

You may need to do a bit more if you want the texture to disappear after a time limit or whatever.
