How To Create GUI Elements in Macro Mod! (Cooldowns/Mana Bar)

[Ahrall]

@Ahrall if you find time, could you make a video on this? You commentate far better than I.

I'll try to get this working myself and if I can I will happily make a video. Might just make an "Advanced Cooldowns Guide" type thing with all the tips and tricks people have learned.

Edit: Might be a while though, bogged down with videos as it is

Whiteninja made a guide, however its not video but i found it super easy to do (worked first try )

So idk if a video is necessary.

Yep, made a guide for the GUI counters. I also have a video on how to do it, I'll post it later.

heromod wasn't made through MacroMod though.
MacroMod can read HP etc too, but it's disabled for HC I believe.
(Even: OnHealthChange)

1) OnHealthChange wouldn't do anything anyway. Heroes emulates 20 health to the client, as hundreds of health in vanilla leads to hearts filling the screen.
2) HeroMod used custom plugin data streams to the client, not existing client data.

Gotta get some of that "custom plugin data streams" !!!

Please, make Heromod

Not my place or my skill.

The client still recognizes hearts, I based it off 20 health, added a progress bar, it will still indicate hp if I could get echo working as well

As stated, Heroes emulates 20 health to the client. That's what the default heart count is.
I fail to see the usefulness of a health bar measured in twentieths of your health.

Sorry if I was not 100% right, I'm not a coder/dev xD.

Not viable/useful for you own health, but honestly it's a heck of a lot better then not having any clue what your party members health is.

What eldry said, I wouldn't need exact health, but if you see someone low, like 2/20th you know to heal them or peel for them.

One useful thing: instead of using OnChat, add the manabar text to the chat filter (available through the menu in the top right). After each SET() line, add a line with FILTER() (like so). This eliminates the manabar spam in chat (and stamina bar too, which is even worse). You can also use this to filter other things, like skill spam.

Is there a way to have multiple cool down sets for different classes? For example, if I'm not using Ninja, and I switch to Disciple, how do I get it to hide my Ninja cool downs and add some for disciple?

When in the GUI Editor or Macro Bindings screen, click the button on the top left and select settings. There you can add different configurations for each class ans switch them at a whim. You can probably even create a macro to switch which configuration you use.

Under OnJoin, type in $${CONFIG(NinjaConfig)}$$ (or whatever the name of each cooldown set is). Example. This lets you have it automatically switch when you join. You can also paste that same thing under any keybind.
To make another GUI, when in the GUI Editor screen (when you select screens), select the button in the top left, and hit "create new screen" (see here). Then, you can just drag that GUI into the ingame slot whenever you want to use that GUI (like so).

how do you eliminate the mana chat spam?

Sorry, I forgot to add that to the original post. I used the same text from my mana bar, just add a line with FILTER() after the line for setting the expression.

Now, Mana Bar is much more simpler.

Just follow the same steps as before to create a label and progress bar for your Mana and name the Control Name "MANA" and the Expr to "@#mana". Max should be at 100.(And colour it. )

Create a new text file in the Text Editor named "ManaBar" and save this into it:

$${
IFMATCHES(%CHATCLEAN%,"^Mana: (.+?) - (.+?)%",&mana,2);
SET(@#mana,%&mana%);
ENDIF;
IFMATCHES(%CHATCLEAN%,"^MANA (.+?)%",&mana,1);
SET(@#mana,%&mana%);
ENDIF;
IFMATCHES(%CHATCLEAN%,"^(..)% [",&mana,1);
SET(@#mana,%&mana%);
ENDIF;
}$$

THIS REQUIRES MANA TO BE VERBOSED! Use TabbyChat to filter stuff to a blank tab.

Now change the onChat event bind to look like this:

$$<ManaBar.txt>|$$<classCD.txt>

This will run BOTH ManaBar and your Class macros at the same time.

It's as simple as that.

I used this code, but instead of filling, It emptied.
Did I do something wrong?

Edit: I fixed my problem, but in a bas-akwords way. I flipped the for and background textures so the bar would fill instead of empty

@Jloy1 Would it be possible to do a exp bar with macro mod now that we lost our one that was built into minecraft?
