Adds an additional value to the ability icon
- Put the files in their correct folders
- Use
FireGameEvent( 'ability_values_force_check', { player_ID = pID } )to force a check on the currently selected unit w/o waiting for dota selection events to fire. - Use
FireGameEvent( 'ability_values_send', { player_ID = pID, hue_1 = -80, val_1 = 90, bri_1 = -20 } )to show overlay over the 1st ability with hue of -80 and brightness of -20. - Use
FireGameEvent( 'ability_values_send_items', { player_ID = pID, <stuff> } )to show item overlay - Huehue_1-6 goes from -180 to 180. Leave empty or use 0 to use the default hue set in the AbilityValues_settings.kv
- Bri_1-6 goes from -100 to 100. Leave empty or use 0 to use the default brightness set in the AbilityValues_settings.kv
- Val_1-6 goes from iHaveNoIdea to iDontKnow. Leave empty or use 0 to hide, use -1 to show value of 0!
- defHue: default hue. Leave 0 for green.
- defBri: default brightness.
- serverCommand: the ConVar that needs to be registered in Lua. SWF sends the entity index.
- debug: set to true for trace spamming in console. Set to something else for no tracespam.
- This is not the complete thing that works dynamically per unit. It's just an example that fires on every owned-unit selection.
- Use EntIndexToHScript with the entity index received to do your logic
Convars:RegisterCommand( "<command_name_from_kv>", function(name, _entityIndex)
local cmdPlayer = Convars:GetCommandClient()
if cmdPlayer then
FireGameEvent( 'ability_values_send', { player_ID = pID, hue_2 = -80, hue_3=90, hue_4 = 130, hue_5 = -140, val_1 = 352, val_2 = 35, val_3 = 45, val_4 = 180, val_5 = -1, bri_1 = -50, bri_4 = 25 } )
end
