what 'exactly' do you change to display the head for health instead of the numbers? I know it's in the build menu. I just need to know what gets changed to what. Already did a search, only to find that you can, but not 'exactly' how.
EDIT-I found a script but it doesn't work. Health decreases but the image stays the same.

JEEZ!You people just STFU! You waste more space complaining about people wasting space than the people your bashing! Man, I thought I had no life.

yes there is one already built in to the system somehow. The pics are of a bald man and as you take damage they progressively get bloodier. I just need to know how to activate it instead of the number counter.

@Disturbing 13

Look at the script i posted in "Image in game". I.e. first when the game starts a picture of a guy is shown in the left corner and when the player gets hurt it switches to another picture with the guy thats bloody, and it keeps on like that. And when the player gains health the previous picture thats less bloody appears so it looks like he is healing. I dont know how to remove the numbers but it can be good to know how much health you have exept the guy.

The numbers would be easy, all ya gotta do is make the numbers it uses point to an invisible alphachannelled .tga. I'll give your script a go and see what becomes of it.

You could also set the number postion's to x=-5 y=-5 and this would force's it off the screen.

The reason you didnt find it, i think, is because there isnt a thread about that exept this.

@Talairina
I would not recommend forcing things offscreen with negative locations.
This will eventually result in a crash.
Simply call a transparent hud for the numbers like he said.
Or an even simpler method is to edit the setuplevel.fpi after you build the game.
There are only two lines that create the word "Health" and the "Numerical Display".
Here's what they look like...

...just put a semicolon in front of each line like I did in the example.
You can find them easy because the word HEALTH is in the image name of the first line.


@Disturbing 13
Writing a script for those graphics (the bald dude) should not be difficult.
Divide the total health by the number of images.
If you had ten graphics then the Huds change every 50 health if you have 500 total.
If you use 5 images then double that to 100 for each.
Build all the huds first and set them for the same location.
Each time you display one, then hide (unshow) all the others.
I was thinking about doing this, so let me see what I can do.
I'm suprised nobody has already written this script.

That's the one I tried and it didn't work. The face shows up, but doesn't change when damage is taken. Does it only work when a game is compliled or should it work when testing? I wish there was a way to change it as the default when making a game rather than haveing to go through this.
