Handle multiple instances of the same effect in HUD

[tacotexmex]

Currently when, for example, a player spamdrinks poison, multiple representations of the effect appears in the HUD. Of course a player should have the possibility available to poison herself multiple times, stacking the effect, but should the HUD display

• all the effects,
• the first instance of the effect or
• one instance of the effect indicating a multiplier?

The question becomes more difficult if you drink different sorts of poisons, with different durations. I'm wondering how to group these ?

[tacotexmex]

Yes, that's what I thought id in the effect definition table was about: to be able to identify (and possibly merge) multiple effects of the same source. Perhaps a name field could be used? The library would still have to know how to stack value and intensity however.

In the case of different sorts of potions, I'm okay with multiple entries in the HUD.

Any more thoughts on this? Currently I'm generating multiple heat effects by player in proximity to multiple lava nodes. (Somehow no more than two although the lava nodes are plenty)

Hi Texmex, Sorry, no new thoughts for the moment, quite buzy with thinking how to manage formspecs in an advanced way. Le 2018-12-19 17:44, texmex a écrit :
