Health Monitor 0.4

Beeps and bleeds when your health reaches a configurable percent

Tags:

    The item and interface:
    What the bleeding looks like:
    - New characters start with a health monitor in their space locker.
    - Health Monitors are also available for a cheap at the Infinity Express
    - If you don't have a health monitor in your inventory then it's life as normal for you.


    Why create it?
    My siblings and I were clumsy, not paying attention to our health and dying unexpectedly. In our defense the health bar is way top left!


    How to install

    Details
    - The beep is the same one triggered upon low-hunger.
    Don't worry, the beep won't double up on you if you're both low on health and hunger.

    - Configurable in-game
    When you activate the health monitor (left clicking on the screen while it's equipped), a window appears allowing you to configure what health percent triggers the beeping and bleeding. It also allows you to enable or disable the health monitor.

    - Doesn't drop when you die

    - Health monitor settings persist with your character


    Limitations
    This mod must be installed on both the server and client. Assuming it's even possible, if someone wants to create a pull request (on github) implementing a reasonable solution to making this client-only then go for it.


    Todo ideas
    If people find this mod useful then I may work on the following ideas.

    - A toggle to disable the blood or beep individually
    - Gore mode
    - Configurable blood colors
    - Automatically consume a heal item

    Suggestions welcome

    I'm new to modding starbound - so if you happen to check my code and find I could have done things differently/easier then I'd much appreciate it.

    To be extremely clear about licensing
    I don't care what you do with my code at all. Claim it as your own even. I feel it's a bummer the default is to be so defensive about mods here because that same mentality made starcraft 2 custom maps useless in comparison to starcraft 1.

      I'm glad you like the mod. I just pushed an update that fixes a bug - if that update doesn't fix your issue then please private message me so we can figure out what's breaking.

    I like to play Starbound with my kids, and they tend to forget to monitor their health bar. This mod really solved that.

      Thanks for the review. Just fyi, I plan on addressing some compatibility issues this weekend. bk3k pointed out how I could have implemented this differently to be more compatible with other mods so hopefully you don't run into that issue in the meantime.
