[Lua] Making a list similar to adventure mode health screen.
« on: April 10, 2018, 10:08:31 am »
I want to create a Panel that allows you to pick an option. I also want it to look similar to the health screen in adventure mode. Unfortunately, because I am a Lua noob, I don't know how to do this.

Is what I'm looking for even possible? If so, how do I do it?

It works, but I don't know why.

you'll want to look at some existing gui lua scripts in scripts/gui for this

Actually, I've been thinking: would that even be a good idea to do usage wise? Would that hurt user friendliness?

EDIT: Screw it, I'm just gonna go with it. If the community doesn't like it, then I'll change it.

Yeah, I still have no idea what I'm doing. Do I need to create a new module? If so, how can I get it to be used and extend the List class?
