Myriad Lite Meter
Meter Concepts
Many people prefer a hovertext meter to let others see the in-character alias name of the player and see the relative damage or health of their opponents during combat.
You should see "waiting for update" at first, which gets replaced with your character sheet alias and health on the next meter update event.
You can customize the display format by customizing the FORMATSTRING variable at the top of the script.
The available tokens you can use to create your custom string are:
| Token | Replaced With |
|---|---|
| @PN | Player Avatar Name |
| @FN | Avatar First Name |
| @LN | Avatar Last Name |
| @GN | Character Game Name |
| @CW | Current Non-Critical Wounds |
| @MW | Max Non-Critical Wounds |
| @CC | Current Critical Wounds |
| @MC | Max Critical Wounds |
| @ST | Status - None, Incapacitated, or Dead |
| @SP | Character Species |
| @BG | Character Background |
| @CA | Character Career |
| @HP | Health Percentage Percentage of Wounds + Critical Wounds remaining out a Max Wounds + Max Critical |
The string displayed will change color based on health state as well
| Color | Health Status | Means |
|---|---|---|
| Green | Healthy | Wounds and Critical Wounds at Max |
| Yellow | Wounded | Wounded but not Incapacitated |
| Red | Incapacitated | Critically Wounded but not Dead |
| Black | Dead | Critically Wounded and Killed |
Meter Setup
