Medigun Info

The Medigun info module is broken up into two main parts: separated and embedded panels. Whichever one you choose to use (or both), it is recommended to download https://github.com/Wiethoofd/TF2-MedigunInfo. This will give you a starting point for the separated medigun panels, and includes icons for the different mediguns.

Separated Medigun Panels

Separated panels are free-floating panels with their own "stacking" abilities. Because they are in their own root panel (and other reasons), it is not possible to use PinToSibling to attach them to existing HUD panels. These panels can be configured by editing /tf/resource/ui/MedigunInfo.res.

ConVars

• ce_mediguninfo_separate_enabled: Enables the Medigun Info module.

ConCommands

• ce_mediguninfo_separate_reload: Reloads the configuration file for separated medigun info panels (from /tf/resource/ui/MedigunInfo.res)

Embedded Medigun Panels

Embedded medigun panels adds extra controls and makes additional data available to specgui player panels.

ConVars

• ce_mediguninfo_embedded_enabled: Enables embedded medigun panels.
• ce_mediguninfo_embedded_medigun_text: Text to use for the Medi-Gun for the %medigun% dialog variable on playerpanels.
• ce_mediguninfo_embedded_kritzkrieg_text: Text to use for the Kritzkrieg for the %medigun% dialog variable on playerpanels.
• ce_mediguninfo_embedded_quickfix_text: Text to use for the Quick-Fix for the %medigun% dialog variable on playerpanels.
• ce_mediguninfo_embedded_vaccinator_text: Text to use for the Vaccinator for the %medigun% dialog variable on playerpanels.

SpectatorTournament.res

In order to use embedded medigun panels, the /tf/resource/ui/spectatortournament.res must be modified to add support.

Medigun Icons

Enabling medigun icons is as simple as adding an ImagePanel named MedigunIconRed or MedigunIconBlue. Only one will ever be visible at a time. For performance reasons, these names are case sensitive. The icons are loaded from materials in /tf/materials/vgui/hud/mediguninfo/ (included in download).

Medigun Charge Percentage Text

Medigun charge percentage text is already supported in the base game. Just add a CExLabel and use the dialog variable chargeamount:

NameDoesntMatter
{
    ControlName    CExLabel
    fieldname      NameDoesntMatter
    labelText      "%chargeamount%"
}

Medigun Progress Bars

We can re-use the chargeamount dialog variable to power our progress bars. Bonus feature: you can use the direction setting for (Continuous)ProgressBar to change which direction the progress bar runs. Valid values are north/east/south/west.

NameDoesntMatter
{	
    ControlName    ContinuousProgressBar
    fieldname      NameDoesntMatter
    variable       chargeamount
    direction      north
}

Medigun Type Labels

Embedded medigun info makes an additional dialog variable available: medigun. This is a string that contains one of the values from the ce_mediguninfo_embedded_????_text cvars.

NameDoesntMatter
{
    ControlName CExLabel
    fieldname   NameDoesntMatter
    labelText   "%medigun%"
}
