Do you think it would be possible to have an enemy health bar, like after they take damage, a healthbar that decreases with damage pops over the enemies' head. My friend and I thought it would be an interesting thing to do. Any ideas how?

Action Doom uses health bars, but only for the boss monsters. It may get a bit ugly if every single monster used a health bar (especially on maps like Scythe map 30 or nuts.wad).

I think it'd work better like System Shock 2.Have it so it displays the enemies health and such when you have your mouse over it.

If it were like Morrowind's health bar, it'd be perfect.

if the fps in nuts.wad was .0056 then with the health bars, it would likely be something like -36 fps!

Hahaha

I think a Health bar for bosses would be cool but for all enemies it would be kinda dumb[like the NICW from Red Faction 2]

there should be a hot key so you can turn it on and off. For the bosses it could be automatic.

On my new notebook, I get an average of about 30 fps on Nuts.wad.

Anyway, this would be a cool feature to have as an option, especially when watching demos, since you could pause the action and go walkabout and see how much health everything has. There was a nice mod for UT called Mind Reader that did something like this (it also gave information about the mode a bot was in, and what its current target was, and so on).

I'm pretty sure this would only be possible in Zdoom. LilWhiteMouse has made some Health Bars that work for bosses and the like, but for every enemy... that would be one complicated script.

IIRC the Chosen TC for ZDooM used health bars for the bosses.

Yeah, even though I'm new to editing and such, I think my first project will be maybe changing Berserk packs to goggles that let you see enemy health bars on everything but imps and zombies. It may not be necessary on Souls however. And it would be pretty neat to have some type of arrow or maybe a laser line coming from the monster to see what his designated target is. I really don't know where to start...
