[Release] Shield Hud BO2 Zombies

[Just_Lettu]

Hi There! This is my first time creating and sharing a script mod!

This mod is an update to the existing file obtained from
TomasFreeman15 post, and the original mod is from teh_bandit.

I don't know how to compile scripts, so I'm sharing the raw uncompiled text—but it works anyway!.

Description:

• 1. Shield Health: I ran some tests and I noticed the shield's health in TranZit is higher than in later maps (MOTD and Origins); the shield's health in TranZit keeps at 2250, whereas in the other maps it is 1500.
• 2. Shield Meter Value: In the original script, a fixed numerical value was displayed (which also adjusts automatically based on the map, as I mentioned earlier); I thought it would be more "better" to scale the shield health from 0 to 100 and have the color change (Green, Yellow, and Red) depending on the shield's damage recieved.
• 3. Label: It seems to me that TranZit lacks a native shader specifically for the shield UI—which is why an icon couldn't be used there—so I opted to replace it and use the static "Shield" label instead.

And that’s it! I hope you find this useful. I decided to place this label on the right side of the screen so it wouldn't interfere with other mods that also display on-screen information.

Location you need to put the Script for it to work:

AppData\Local\Plutonium\storage\t6\scripts\zm\shield meter-uncompiled.gsc

I love it—it's simple and effective. Do you think it would be possible to place the shield health meter next to the other stats? In the middle, in an order "zombies/shield/health," so that if the shield breaks, the layout doesn't look asymmetrical.

SkyStar300 Of course. Just to clarify, the zombie counter and health mod isn't mine, i forgot to disable it when taking the screenshots.
But yes, I can place the shield value and the label at the bottom center of the screen.

Thats nice dude do you think you could make like bo3 that it shows you your shield health in the hud icon itself
