How do I insert a UI? - Glome - 06-01-2011
I can't find a Start UI folder or anything like that.
Oh and are the UI's similar to roblox's?

I'd assume you start by adding a Character, building the UI in the PlayerUI of it, then when you're done, put it inside a Script in the workspace that copies it into their PlayerUI.

You can store the UI anywhere, then use a script to copy it into new players, or just generate it with a script every time someone joins.

Can someone post a script for this? xD
I'm not to good at lua lol

I don't get it... Where does UI have to be so that a player can see it on-screen?
RE: How do I insert a UI? - Jacob__mybb_import1 - 06-03-2011
game.Players.Player.UI

Thanks!
Also, I already made a health bar UI, the only problem is after dying, the script won't run again, so the bar just stays red. Help?

So that's how it's done.

Wouldn't something like this work?
[lua]
link(game.World.ChildAdded, function( c )
if c:isA("Character") then
local player = game.Players[c.Name]
--create UI
link(c.PropertyChanged, function(name, value)
if name == "Health" then
--update health bar
end
end
end
end)
[/lua]
RE: How do I insert a UI? - AK-47 - 06-03-2011
[lua]
function onEnter( c )
if c:isA("Character") then
local player = game.Players[c.Name]
local HealthScript = script.Parent.HealthScript:clone()
HealthScript.Parent = player.UI
end
end
link(game.World.ChildAdded, onEnter)
[/lua]
But it won't work. (I'll work on the updater later)
