Plutonium

Vulture Aid createFontString(font, fontScale), setPoint(point, relativePoint, x, y).

font has a few different options like "default", and "objective". fontScale is self explanatory, it's the scale of the font lol.

point and relativePoint are a bit different though. There's "CENTER", "TOP", "BOTTOM", "LEFT", "RIGHT", "TOPRIGHT", "TOP_RIGHT", "TOPLEFT", "TOP_LEFT", "TOPCENTER", "BOTTOM RIGHT", "BOTTOM_RIGHT", "BOTTOM LEFT", "BOTTOM_LEFT".
You can kind of think of these as anchors. If I made a HUD with points "RIGHT", "RIGHT" and I appended text to it constantly, the HUD would grow to the left to maintain its position on the right.

This script may be a little outdated so I decided to update it myself 🙂
Actually nothing is changed besides a proper HUD to show the lives... thats overlapped on the Afterlife logo ingame. So it aint perfect but aye, it shows the HUD and it works with the modern way Pluto uses scripts 🙂

Xerxes said in Does anyone know the code for the MOTD lives counter?:

According to _zm_afterlife.gsc it's self.lives.

That's the counter that's working, I recently discovered that self setclientfieldtoplayer( "player_lives", self.lives ); is what's breaking the hud element, however I don't know a way around this. I could delete it but the hud won't update
