Simple Overheal

Description
In collaboration with ChatGPT:


This addon introduces an overheal mechanic seen in many cartoon/arcade style FPS games. The addon comes with multiple console variables.

sv_overheal_automatic
Automatically gain HP regardless of interacting.

sv_overheal_refreshRate
Sets the refresh rate of the addon. Lower means more performance.

sv_overheal_target
If health is above this number, then start decaying.

sv_overheal_rate
How fast should health be decayed over time.

sv_overheal_ease
How slow should the decay be when approaching target health.

sv_overheal_penalty
Bigger number means more health is decayed when further away from target health.

sv_overheal_maxHealth
Sets maximum health of player when interacting.

This addon is not self-aware, meaning it will most likely not play well if there are other addons that also modify max health.

i've done some playtesting this time. And this should fix it.

Syntax error on line 48 (the timer you just tried to fix) is now stopping the whole addon from loading.

Timers with a nil value instead of a function need to be one line. Add a right parenthesis to line 48 and delete 49 and 50.

You're a godsend. I never caught that during my play testing. I'll make the adjustments as soon as I get back home.

Health drain timer in the DrainPlayerHealth function should be:
timer.Adjust("HealthDrainTimer", delay, 0, nil)

Existing code has a bug where it loses the for loop and only affects the first player on the server. It works fine in singleplayer though...

Most HUDs assume your max HP will be at 100 no matter what, so all they do is check your percentage of max HP and interpolate that from 0 health to get the render. But because the addon brute forces your max HP to 1,000 when pressing the +use key, it messes up the calculations.

All the HUDs I've tested this with have the same issue: if I'm holding a +use button my health bar indicated that I have 10 HP (SlateHUD, Minimal HUD), however my real health is still what it was before and I've tested that by taking more than 10HP damage
Whenever I depress +use button my HUDs go back to normal
