Plutonium

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:
