Minion Health Plugin for Pet Builds?

[Lrlanzoni]

I don't know how popular this would be, but I thought I'd put it out there for people to chew on. I personally run a necromancer build and while I like knowing the health of my current minions I don't like how having health bars turned on clutters the screen. Does anyone think it possible to have a static health bar for the minions that can be moved around in the HUD and if so would somebody be interested in designing it? I'm not trying to fish here, but I don't have the know-how to pull that off. Just a thought.

Healthbar for: sum of current life of minions divided by sum maximum minions health?
That is easy to do that (PoeHUD plugin). Thought can do that tomorrow.

[Lrlanzoni]

Are you talking one bar or an individual bar for each minion? Individual bars would be more helpful as it would allow more micro management. A sum of the minions wouldn't have as much clarity and detailed information to it. Basically, this:

Z ----------
CG ----------
S ----------

Z (Zombie) CG (Chaos Golem) S (Spectre) etc. One letter to differentiate the minion and small line to right showing total health. Just like the health bars in game. Maybe a blue overlay when they are buffed for es by an aura. I don't know just some thoughts I had.

Also, thanks. Seriously. Don't make it anything fancy. I just appreciate you doing it at all.

Yeah, it's not hard to make,
On entity added we can check/add minion, from the list
On entity remove we can check/remove them, from the list

And in render, for each element in the list, display life on the UI.


Would make it but it's a busy week for me :/

[Lrlanzoni]

That's perfect. I'm just glad somebody else is interested in it. Thanks guys.

Something like this:







Tested on my warrior golems)
+ number of golems

Calculating by HP + ES.

Can be bugs, not tested perfectly, but works fine for me during 5 minutes of test)

Thank you! I can't wait to try this. I really appreciate it!

[Lrlanzoni]

Would it be difficult to make this individual bars like I mentioned above? I like the ability to monitor minion health, don't get me wrong, but it also tracks raging spirits and when the health bar begins summing the health from 30+ minions it kind of loses its purpose. If, however, I could see each individual minion and turn off tracking for other minions that would be much more efficient.

Apologies. I know how needy that sounds. I don't mean it to. If you don't have the time or don't want to please just let me know. I will not be offended in the slightest.

EDITED for errors.

At this point in time when your requesting new features/cosmetic changes I would suggest paying him few $$ (10-20) beforehand.

[Lrlanzoni]

Fair enough! I don't mind paying for a quality product. My allowance for the month is spent but I am happy to talk shop next month.

@Stridemann, I'll message you directly sometime next month. How's that sound?

He just joking, man.



Oops, I miss the message you wrote about:
Z ----------
CG ----------
S ----------

Then some improvements should me done:
Some config with monsters path's (names) + display names should be created. Then we get all monsters, filter by config and print on a screen.
Maybe in future I add that, don't have a time for that now..

[Lrlanzoni]

I don't know bud. The worker is worthy of his wages and all that. No worries about working on it now, but I appreciate your interest. If it happens next month then that would be swell timing.

Hey, I posted an issue on your git for this plugin and don't know if you saw it or not. Also this plugin you made is so good I wonder why it doesn't have it's own thread.

Anyway, as far as I've seen, most Spectres work, with the exception of Solar Guards. They just show up in the same bar as zombies w/o individual HP bars.

[ocslappy]

ive been tweaking this one aswell, trying to get it to only show the players summons, and ignore/filter out other players minions.

Because:
1) I'm not interesting for supporting it
2) For spectres/zombie/guardians there is new plugin GitHub - Stridemann/MinionHealthPlugin
