I need to display a HUD message which stays permanently on the screen and will update automatically, when some variable's value changes.
Example Plugin:Show Admins Online
I went through its source and found sync-hud, but I'm new to scripting and din't get the mechanism to use it.
Also it had some register_think value which I don't understand yet.
Tried to search about sync-hud but couldn't find any useful info.
Can someone explain how the sync-hud works?

The flag "b" is to be replayed forever, you can stop de task seting an ID and make remove_task(ID)

PHP Code:

set_task(1.0, "PermanentHud", 0, _, _, "b")

public PermanentHud()
{
    set_hudmessage(255, 0, 0, -1.0, 0.35, 0, 6.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0)
    show_hudmessage(0, "Players Alive: %d", cts)
} 


Sorry for my bad english :C

Thanks for the idea, but you see, I already know this way.
I was actually looking forward to learn the sync-hud method.
Plus this one includes set_task which will be CPU consuming.
Sync-hud method, which I observed didn't use set_task.

No need of that, I have already coded that part. I was just searching for a way to display permanently.

public plugin_init()
{
	register_event("HLTV", "asd", "a", "1=0", "2=0"); 
	RegisterHam(Ham_Killed, "player", "asd", true); 
        RegisterHam(Ham_Spawn, "player", "asd", 1) 
}
public asd()
{
	set_hudmessage(255, 255, 255, -1,0 0.00, 0, 6.0, 9999.0)
	show_hudmessage(0, "Admins Online: %d", adminonline)

This is one way, it will update everytime someone dies, new round and when someone spawns. This might not be the best way and I didn't test it if it will work.

Thanks for that idea, but again I'm trying to learn the "sync-hud" way here.
Please suggest a display using sync-hud only.

PHP Code:

SyncHudMessage(id, 255, 100, 50, 1.0, 1.0, 0, 0, 6.0, _, _, 3, "Alive Players: %i", players)

Some explanation would be great.
There was more sync hud stuff which i saw, than this statement.
And more importantly how to use it to update the value automatically

Why you want to use synchud and you don't want to use set_hudmessage?
