Here is an extremely dynamic healthbar function I came up with.

You can change every aspect of this healthbar simply by adjusting variables.

It is easy to understand, and easy to use. You may have to come up with your own conditions however to prevent some undesirable effects.

I included some additional code to show off how dynanmic and adjustable this healthbar really is.

This code can be adapted to any information that you would want to display on a bar graph.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

Yup, almost identical to what I'm using . Mine has X-Y-X2-Y2 though, and input for the for and background colors.

Purpleheart,

Probably a little late to reply. I hardly check these boards.

I'm not sure why its not working for you.

sync makes the bar do wierd things. Its possible that if you remove the single the bar will be visible. You might move the function call right up under where you are displaying your text as something in the functions right above it might be cause the bar to behave oddly.

I would actually try using a image rather than the 2d commands when it comes down to it.

how would you go about using your healthbar for several different characters at once ralen, I'm trying to see if I could use yours in my rpg or develop one off it? I tried fooling with your code phaelax but it wouldn't work.

darn those dynamic variables!
I also found another mistake in my function. The first box that is drawn has no width, so it'll never show. You can tell I never tested my code. Ok, here's a tested, working function. And an example of how to use it with multiple units. You use an array. More customizable and easier with a type.

can you provide a more detailed explanation into how you set it up and what the different things are for? no one ever seems to put much detail into explanations and I'd like to understand how to do it so I can do it on my own again without having to return to try to modify someone elses code for my own use.

Well the function should explain everything you need to know about it. You know what an array is?




The point?

so if you wanted to do something like lets say display the data in all those variables, you could easily do it like so:



that's like saying



This thread is turning out to be not so code-snippet-like.
