Seperate HP/AP bars?

[1024]

:goodidea:

I was talking with my outfit today about which cert this guy wanted to get. As we were talking about this, we came along engy and medic certs. US medics and engys were complaining that we didn't know which kind of heal our patients needed, Health Points, or Armor points. So i came up with the very simple idea of: "Why not just have two bars above peopels heads that represent health and armor?"

Maybe, since we want to try and keep it all the same color, and keep it at a pretty simple iamge, we may want one bar to be over the name and one to be under the name, in teh same order as how your health is displayed in the HUD.

So it would look liek this:


------HP------
*NAME HERE*
------AP------


Thoughts?

It would take up too much space

Or make it go with adv. targeting.

I don't think it would take up too much space. just put a bar under the person's name that's a few pixels in height and as long as the life bar. ta-dah, you have an armor bar!

You could display it as a skinnier bar under the health bar.

Cut the width of the bar in half. Don't really need a bar that wide anyway.

This is a great idea, and it's actually been suggested several times on the official forums for the last few months. It would really make life easier for engineers, and I hope the devs will put it in soon.

I'm sorry 1024, after extensive review of this suggestion we have come to the conclusion that it makes entirely too much sense and has way, way too much of this 'logic' stuff we hear about every so often contained within.

your idea is summarily, and permanently, rejected.
