Really Needy HUD
for your Second Life
Health

The Health meter is special in that, unlike the other 5 physiological needs, it does not normally decrease by itself.
-
If Hunger, Thirst or Energy meters fall to 0%, your avatar will suffer damage (if in a damage-enabled parcel) and Health meter will start to decrease.
-
Health meter will continue to drop unless your avatar eats/drinks/rests sufficiently to restore Hunger / Thirst / Energy meter above 0%.
-
When Health reaches 20%, your avatar will lose consciousness.
-
When Health reaches 0%, your avatar will die (which means your avatar will be teleported back to Home if on damage-enabled land).
If your avatar is poisoned, the Health meter will decrease steadily over time.
Injuries such as falling from a height, burns, gunshot wounds, blast injuries and bleeding will also deplete your avatar's Health meter. (Injuries add-on required).
If Health meter is below 100%, your avatar will need medical treatment to restore Health.
Example items which restore Health:
-
Healing potion (if your sim is magic-themed)
Do also check out the Fitness feature which enables your avatar to earn Fitness Points by engaging in certain activities, increase Maximum Health, and unlock new abilities.

FITNESS & HEALTH

You can also move the script to your own object to make your own equipment that restores Health. Your object must have AVSitter2 scripts in them for the script to work.

Injuries
Injuries can be simulated with an add-on script.
The add-on is included as part of the RPG Edition, and is an optional add-on (sold separately) for the Lifestyle Edition.

Heart rate (HR)

To read the 5 vital signs from HUDs, you need either the

-
Your own scripted item can call the Vital Signs API
To write (change) the 5 vital signs of a HUD, you need the Vital Signs Setter.
VITAL SIGNS SETTER
To change the patient's vital signs, you need to acquire the Really Needy Vital Signs Setter. The patient must also give you permission to his / her HUD.
The Vital Signs Setter can be acquired in 2 ways:
-
For home use, you can request 1 free unit (owner access only) when you buy the Really Needy HUD Adult Edition.
-
For use in a roleplay sim, you need to register with me the name of your sim/parcel, landmark, and agree to have your sim/parcel listed in a directory on my site and inworld store. You will then be given 1 free unit, and you can choose if you want owner access only or group access.

Diseases
Your avatar can catch a disease by coming into contact with a Contagion (could be touch-based or proximity-based). Probability of catching a disease could also vary depending on certain factors. Some factors could be external while your physiological state could also make you more susceptible (eg. Energy meter is low or Hygiene meter is low).
Wearing a Face Mask will reduce your probability of catching a disease if you choose the Random mode of infection from the Contagion.

KIDS
COMFORT CARE
Comfort care lets everyday actions like drinking hot soup, bed rest, using wet wipes/tissue temporarily calm symptoms by suppressing upcoming symptom events, without directly curing the disease.
Disease name | Comfort care option | Trigger condition | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
Cold | Soup | Item name contains 'soup'; restores Hunger or Thirst | +2 symptom suppression |
Cold | Bed rest | Item name contains 'bed'; restore at least 40% Energy | +2 symptom suppression |
Cold | Wipes / tissue | Item name contains 'wipes' or 'tissue'; restores Hygiene | +1 symptom suppression |
Flu | Soup | Item name contains 'soup'; restores Hunger or Thirst | +1 symptom suppression |
Flu | Bed rest | Item name contains 'bed'; restore at least 40% Energy | +2 symptom suppression |
Flu | Wipes / tissue | Item name contains 'wipes' or 'tissue'; restores Hygiene | +1 symptom suppression |
Montezuma's Revenge | Fluids / soup | Item name contains 'water', 'juice', 'drink' or 'soup'; restores Hunger or Thirst | +1 symptom suppression |
Montezuma's Revenge | Bed rest | Item name contains 'bed'; restore at least 40% Energy | +2 symptom suppression |
Notes:
1. Comfort care increases the symptom suppression counter, which skips upcoming main symptom events.
2. The comfort-care cap is 6 suppressions for Cold, and 3 suppressions for Flu and Montezuma's Revenge.
3. Bed rest benefit is usable only once per SL day.
4. Medicine provides stronger symptom suppression than comfort care and can also possibly shorten disease lifespan.
-
Anti-histamine suppresses symptoms for Cold for 8 cycles.
-
Anti-pyretic suppresses symptoms for Flu for 4 cycles.
-
Anti-diarrheal suppresses symptoms for Montezuma’s Revenge for 4 cycles.
