Lower health causes heart problems.

Attached is my custom kyle cog. I would like it if someone could make it so that if the players health goes under 10 points then the screen tints red every 0.8 seconds and a heartbeat sound plays every 0.8 seconds. Like in some computer games. also when you get over 10 it goes back to normal.

Thanks

It's not too hard, I think. A pulse message like this one should do it:
Code: 
pulse:
   if(GetThingHealth(GetLocalPlayerThing()) < 10)
   {
      // Screen FX using NewColorFx or however this verb is called
      // Heartbeat using PlaySoundLocal or some other sound verb
   }
   Return;

Of course, you'd also have to add the message in the symbols section, start the pulse in the startup message using SetPulse(0.8), and so on.

I did a pretty cool thing similar to this a long time ago. I had it play the heartbeat sound faster the lower your health was. If you had 2% health it would be thumping really fast.

To do this you could modify above code like this:
Code: 
player = GetLocalPlayerThing();
if(GetThingHealth(player) < 10)
{
   AddDynamicAdd(player, 120 + (1 / (GetThingHealth(player) + 0.01)) * 100, 0, 0);
   PlaySoundLocal(sound, 1 - GetThingHealth(player) / 20, 0, 0x4);
   SetPulse(0.3 + (GetThingHealth(player) / 20));
}

Untested.
