 In order to use this API, you should be aware of a few basic rules in order to understand it:
 
 * A HUD bar is an approximate graphical representation of the ratio of a current value and a maximum value, i.e. current health of 15 and maximum health of 20. A full HUD bar represents 100%, an empty HUD bar represents 0%.
-* The current value must always be equal to or smaller then the maximum

This field can be `nil`, in which case no icon will be used, but this is not recommended, because the HUD bar will be invisible if the one of the statbar bar types is used.

 * `default_start_value`: If this HUD bar is added to a player, and no initial value is specified, this value will be used as initial current value
