Description
===========
While using the Immersive Health Indication mod, I was frustrated that I could not completely customize the settings. While looking at the scripts, I found it would
be easier to write my own mod than to modify that one.
So Visual Health Indication was born.

If you get hurt, you will have pulsing, blurred vision!
This mod triggers the hitshader when you reach a certain threshold percentage of your health.

Details
=======
The non-Cobl mod adds a 2 scripts and a configuration ring.
The Cobl mod adds 2 scripts and configuration is accessed in the Cobl +[Options].

The script is defaulted to trigger 99% health with a maximum Shader effect of level 25. However, you can change these settings to anything you want within the minimum (1%, 1) and maximum (99%, 50).

To customize either setting, equip the .Visual Health Indication Configuration Ring. If you are using the Cobl version, open the inventory, select +[Options], and then
select Configure Visual Health Indication. Your changes will take effect immediately on closing the inventory menu.

This script does not change or modify your health in any way. All that it does is monitor your health and triggers the effect when certain levels are reached. Simply put, the formula takes your health loss percentage and uses that figure for the effect. If you lose 25% of your health, you get a 25% effect of whatever maximum is set. (Assuming the threshold is set to 76% or greater.)

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
There will be a minor issue any mod that triggers the hitshader (Realistic Fatique for example) or that imposes penalties on health. Visual Health Indication may trigger during these events. If that happens, you may have
a momentary visual glitch, but it should correct itself on the next trigger.
Sorry, can't do anything about that, the mod IS doing what it is supposed to.
