GTA default health/armour bar manipulation

Hey everyone, You all know the default health/armour bar from GTA: I was wondering if it’s possible to manually enable another part of it, like for example the vehicle boost: Can we activate it without being in a vehicle, and display the time it would take to charge up? Then, we could use that part of the HUD for something else. I tried working with the following code snippet:

BeginScaleformMovieMethod(minimap, "SETUP_HEALTH_ARMOURs")
ScaleformMovieMethodAddParamInt(0)
EndScaleformMovieMethod()

But unfortunately, it didn’t work out. Thanks in advance, Neo image image

You don’t need to force the raw scaleforms for that. Use the following natives to manipulate the “Ability Bar”(that’s how R* calls it)

--lua. client-side.
SetAllowAbilityBarInMultiplayer(true) --allow the client to use the ability bar.
SetAbilityBarVisibilityInMultiplayer(true) --enable the bar visibility.
SetAbilityBarValue(43,100) --sets the value of the ability bar. 43 is the value, 100 is the max value for the bar to be filled. 
FlashAbilityBar(5000) --flash the ablity bar. miliseconds.


(edit: just realized the pos recorder put the watermark on the minimap… you can still see the bar tho)

Commands used in the video:

RegisterCommand('ability', function()
    SetAllowAbilityBarInMultiplayer(true)
    SetAbilityBarVisibilityInMultiplayer(true)
    SetAbilityBarValue(100,100)
    FlashAbilityBar(5000)
end)

RegisterCommand('ability2', function()
    SetAbilityBarValue(10,100)
end)

RegisterCommand('ability3', function()
    SetAbilityBarVisibilityInMultiplayer(false)
end)

I’m getting an InvokeNative Error…

Any help for that?
My Code:

                SetAllowAbilityBarInMultiplayer(true)
                SetAbilityBarVisibilityInMultiplayer(true)
                SetAbilityBarValue(GetVehicleFuelLevel(GetVehiclePedIsIn(GetPlayerPed(-1), false), GetVehicleHandlingFloat(vehicle,"CHandlingData","fPetrolTankVolume")))

Yes, make sure you run a game build higher than 1868.

probably, by streaming a modified minimap.gfx. I don’t think you can do it through lua code.
