Unfortunately, with the CryENGINE 3 SDK there is no current HUD element in place that displays the player's health out of the box. In this recipe, however, we will look at adding in a health display through the Flow Graph that will show the player's health in a numerical fashion.
- Begin by placing an AreaTrigger entity onto the map to use as the container for the Flow Graph.
- In the RollupBar, click on the Entities button.
- Under the Triggers section, select AreaTrigger.
- Right-click the newly placed AreaTrigger and create a new Flow Graph. Name the Flow Graph
PlayerHealth. - With the Flow Graph open and the new AreaTrigger selected, add in the following nodes:
- Game:LocalPlayer
- Time:Timer
- Game:ActorGetHealth
- HUD:DisplayDebugMessage
- Set Time:Timer period to 0.05.
- Link the Flow Graph together as follows:
- Game:LocalPlayer entityId out to Game:ActorGetHealth Choose Entity in
- Time:Timer out out to Game:ActorGetHealth Trigger in
- Game:ActorGetHealth Health out to HUD_DisplayDebugMessage Show AND message in
- Game:LocalPlayer entityId out to HUD_DisplayDebugMessage Choose Entity in
- The resulting Flow Graph should look like the following:
We should now see a numerical value of 100 in the upper-left corner of the screen the next time we enter into Game Mode on this level.
