Hitpoints bar always on, any mod or setting possible?

[Albertus]

Hello,
any way to set the hitpoints bar on vissible?
I hope you understand me.
Who played Warcraft 3 for a longer time knew that you could press alt
to see the hitpoint of all units on screen or just activate
this feature in settings.

cheers

Can't you press a button on your keyboard that keeps them on permanently? I think it's ALT.

Not possible unless you do something really tricky. What is possible is to show the hitpoint bars of units that are damaged, atleast that was possible in the original version.

I have the same question as mentioned above.

After all these months, is there any mod to arrange this?

Go to your steam folder - SteamApps - common - Age of Mythology - startup
Create the file user.cfg (with notepad, make sure the format is .cfg and not .txt)
Copy this:
FlashHitPointBarsOnDamage

If this doesn't work, there's still the possibility to use the Ekanta UI mod from the Steam Workshop, as it has a button to turn on the command mentioned above.

Yes, best to do it manually using your user.cfg file. The line to add is:

+FlashHitPointsOnDamage

+FlashHitPointsOnDamage didn't work for me in :EE but FlashHitPointsOnDamage did, be careful and make sure you try out both possibilites.

Thanks for the info everyone. I'll try to do that =)

I tried in all ways as possible, but I believe that this command and mod quoted above do not offer what I am looking for.

Is there no options to maintain the hitpoints bar always ON? Like, from the start of the game (0 seconds) u already can set all hitpoints bar visible without selecting the units.

...already explained in this post: it's not possible (at least for people with little knowledge of scripting like me) since it is not a function that has been implemented into the game.
+FlashHitPointsOnDamage does what it says, it displays the bars of units that have been damaged.
