Help! How to make specific value widget

[ZA_WARUDO]

yoyozi.luaspirit_stack.luamodmain(origi).lua
In this character's prefab (yoyozi.lua) it has stacking power system (inst.spirit)
So I want to make a widget to show her current spirit stacks but I don't know how.
Please help me. Thank you! (simple text widget is ok)

*spirit_stack.lua is the file I prepared in widgets folder.*

In sprit_stack.lua, you seemed to have missed the end and close bracket at the end of the file:

local Text = require "widgets/text"  
local Widget = require "widgets/widget"

local spirit_stack = Class(Widget ,function(self ,owner)
    Widget._ctor(self, "spirit_stack")
    self.owner = owner
    self.isFE = false
    self:SetClickable(false)
    
    self.num = self:AddChild(Text(BODYTEXTFONT, 33))     
    self.num:SetHAlign(ANCHOR_MIDDLE)     
    self.num:SetPosition(5, -50, 0) 
    self.num:SetScale(0.75,0.75,0.75) 
    self.num:MoveToFront() 
end) -- HERE


return spirit_stack

Thank you for telling me for that But how should I write new code in modmain and character's prefab in order to make a text widget?

I am not actually an expert on this stuff, but after some poking around:

In statusdisplays.lua, it checks for a DoDelta, and then updates the player's stats accordingly. It also checks for if you are on a boat, and other things.

Also this line in controls.lua:

self.status = self.sidepanel:AddChild(StatusDisplays(self.owner))

It is connected to the HUD variable in player_common.lua

Also: 

Quote

self.num:SetHAlign(ANCHOR_MIDDLE)   

Is this meant to be like this? With the capital?

 

Quick question, have you got the text status showing but not updating? Or do you not have it showing?

Ok thank you so much for your information.
#Is this meant to be like this? With the capital?
- Yes it is. I have seen it from many widgets.
Quick question, have you got the text status showing but not updating? Or do you not have it showing?
- Both because I don't know anything about widget mod (Sorry for being stupid)

From the modmain.lua of Combined Status:

local require = GLOBAL.require
local Widget = require('widgets/widget')
local Image = require('widgets/image')
local Text = require('widgets/text')
local PlayerBadge = require("widgets/playerbadge" .. (DST and "" or "_combined_status"))
local Minibadge = require("widgets/minibadge")
if not DST then
	table.insert(Assets, Asset("ATLAS", "images/avatars_combined_status.xml"))
	table.insert(Assets, Asset("IMAGE", "images/avatars_combined_status.tex"))
	table.insert(Assets, Asset("ANIM", "anim/cave_clock.zip"))
end
local Badge = require("widgets/badge")

I have also attached the entire modmain.lua for you to look at. Also Minibadge.lua which is what Combined Status uses for the little values like temperature

 

While going through it, I think you have to have a function that creates and mantains the badge/widget, and then use AddClassPostConstruct to add it to the player. You also will need to check if it's the modded character, or if it's a vanilla one to enable/disable it.

modmain.lua minibadge.lua

I tried a few things and got this:

Here is my code. You could probably fix it up:

local function temperature (self)
    self.temperature = self:AddChild(Minibadge("temperature", self.owner))
		self.inst:ListenForEvent("temperaturedelta",
			function(inst)
				local val = DST
					and self.owner:GetTemperature()
					or	self.owner.components.temperature.current
				self.temperature.num:SetString(val)
			end,
            self.owner)
    self.temperature:SetPosition(65.5, 0, 0)
end
AddClassPostConstruct("widgets/badge", temperature)

(In modmain.lua)

 

Then in minibadge.lua:

local UIAnim = require "widgets/uianim"
local Text = require "widgets/text"
local easing = require "easing"
local Widget = require "widgets/widget"

local Minibadge = Class(Widget, function(self, name, owner)
    Widget._ctor(self, "Minibadge")
    self.owner = owner
	
	self.name = name

    self:SetScale(.9, .9, .9)
	
	self.bg = self:AddChild(Image("images/status_bgs.xml", "status_bgs.tex"))
	self.bg:SetScale(.4,.43,1)
	self.bg:SetPosition(-.5, -40)
	
    self.num = self:AddChild(Text(NUMBERFONT, 28))
    self.num:SetHAlign(ANCHOR_MIDDLE)
	self.num:SetPosition(3.5, -40.5)
	self.num:SetScale(1,.78,1)
end)

return Minibadge
