Adding a custom badge to the game

[BloodHound27]

I am trying to figure out how to add a custom badge to the game, but I am having trouble on getting it working. I want to create a badge like the existing health or hunger badges. Does anyone know any tutorials or example code that might prove useful for my situation?

 

This is my first mod so any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

Well there is a mod that adds follower badges for every follower you have. Maybe you can try and ask the mod creator if they're ok with sharing how they did it. Hope this helps give you a direction on where to go.

@BloodHound27, adding on to what Zillvr said above, you can also look through the code in their mods to get an idea on how to make one yourself.

 

You can also have a look at the original badges' code in the following files

 

"..\scripts\widgets\healthbadge.lua"

"..\scripts\widgets\sanitybadge.lua"

"..\scripts\widgets\hungerbadge.lua"

Thanks for the advice @Zillvr, I will try to get in touch with the Followers All In One mod creator. His mod is very impressive. Also, thank you @Blueberrys, I will try looking through those files and doing some detective work to figure them out.
