armorhud.swf

A compact HUD element that shows the player's Battle Block (called armor internally) as a hexagonal fill gauge with a numeric readout. Appears in adventure, PvP, build, and discovery modes; the frame graphic switches between an adventure/PvP and a build/discovery variant.

Main class: ArmorHudUI

ArmorHudUI is a minimal HUD widget. The constructor validates that fill_mc and fillMask_mc exist on the timeline, caches maskInitialY, and immediately calls updateUI() to render the initial state. A single frame script at frame 1 calls stop().

configUI() registers five Iggy callbacks. When not in Iggy (authoring preview) it defaults to MODE_ADVENTURE mode.

The "armor" this widget shows is what the game calls Battle Block: the language files name it so ($StoreProduct_armor_name is "Battle Block", $Armor_Depleted is "Battle Block DEPLETED! I hope you have some flasks…").

Public methods

  • setCurrentArmor(value:Number) : void — stores currentArmor if ≥ 0. Draws nothing; the engine sends the values and calls onUpdateUI(true) separately to redraw.
  • setMaxArmor(value:Number) : void — stores maxArmor if ≥ 0. Draws nothing, like setCurrentArmor.
  • updateUI() : void — computes fill ratio currentArmor / maxArmor; moves fillMask_mc.y by (1 - ratio) * armorFullHeight (65 px full range) to clip fill_mc from the top; sets armorText.text to a digit-delimited number via KiwiTextUtil.addDigitDelimiters.
  • onUpdateUI(redraw:Boolean) : void — calls updateUI() if redraw is true; otherwise no-op.
  • setVisibility(visible:Boolean) : void — sets this.visible.
  • setMode(mode:String) : void — sends hexFrame_mc to frame 2 for "build" or "discovery" (alternate graphic), frame 1 for "adventure" or "pvp" (default graphic); then calls updateUI().

Key fields

  • armorText : TextField — numeric armor value display.
  • fill_mc : MovieClip — the colored fill graphic (clipped by mask).
  • fillMask_mc : MovieClip — mask that slides vertically to reveal fill_mc proportionally.
  • hexFrame_mc : MovieClip — the hexagonal border; frame 1 = combat, frame 2 = build/discovery.
  • maxArmor : Number — maximum armor for ratio calculation.
  • currentArmor : Number — current armor value.
  • shieldWidth : Number = 55 — unused reference dimension.
  • armorFullHeight : Number = 65 — full pixel height of the fill range.
  • maskInitialY : Number — fillMask_mc.y at construction (base of the gauge).
  • Mode constants: MODE_ADVENTURE = "adventure", MODE_BUILD = "build", MODE_PVP = "pvp", MODE_DISCOVERY = "discovery".

Frame scripts / timeline

  • Frame 1 — stop(). Single static frame; no animation.

Runtime dependencies & integration

ExternalInterface callbacks registered (Iggy):

  • setCurrentArmor — updates stored armor value
  • setMaxArmor — updates stored max armor
  • onUpdateUI — conditionally redraws
  • setVisibility — show/hide the widget
  • setMode — switches frame graphic and redraws

No ExternalInterface calls are made outward — this widget is display-only; it only receives data from the game engine.

KiwiTextUtil.addDigitDelimiters — formats the armor number with thousands separators for display.

Placement: the engine places this 65×76 box itself, next to the hotbar's; no layout file in the install mentions armorhud, so the position is decided inside the client. At 2560×1369 its origin lands at (879, 1229), 8 px left of and 32 px above the hotbar's box at (887, 1261).

Other game-specific classes

ArmorHUD_fla/hexFrame_mc_3 (extends MovieClip) — [Embed symbol14]

The hexagonal border frame symbol. Two frames (both stop()): frame 1 = default (adventure/PvP border style), frame 2 = alternate (build/discovery border style). Switched by ArmorHudUI.setMode.

Notable logic

  • Mask-based fill: Rather than scaling fill_mc, the gauge works by sliding fillMask_mc downward from the top: an empty gauge moves the mask to maskInitialY + armorFullHeight (fully covering the fill), while a full gauge leaves it at maskInitialY (fully revealing it). This preserves the hexagonal shape of the fill graphic.
  • Mode-gated frame: Only two visual states exist for the frame border (hexFrame_mc); PvP uses the same frame as adventure, and discovery uses the same as build.
  • No stage-resize handling: Unlike most UIComponent subclasses, ArmorHudUI does not override onStageResized; the widget is intended to be positioned and scaled externally by the HUD layout system.
