I know you guys hate the "codez" posts, but I could really use some help with my health bar. Currently it displays the health bar, but it's always full, so I was wondering if there was a way to shrink it when my heatlh falls.

Anyways, here's what I have so far:

+ Code Snippet

if mouseover(OURID)=1
        paste sprite 7,XCoord,YCoord
    endif

P.S. Mouseover is just a simple function to see if the mouse is over an object.

EDIT: I figured it out on my own actually, all I had to do was size the sprite

So you have nothing for your health bar yet?
The mouseover has nothing to do with a health bar i dont even know why you posted it.

This is how I would do a health bar:

+ Code Snippet

sync on : `Turn updating on
sync rate 60 : `Set update rate
playerhealth=100 : `Starting health

do
CLS : `Clear the screen
ink rgb(200,0,0),0 : box 5,5,playerhealth,10 : `Display the health bar, always updated
if mouseclick()=1 then playerhealth=playerhealth-1 : `This is just a test to show you how to make the health go down
if playerhealth=0 then end  : `Just showing you how to make the player die at the end after his health = 0, youd do something else but this is just an example
sync : `Update the screen
loop

Press left mousebutton to decrease health,
-inverted

PS: I commented it for a reason, dont just copy and paste it; learn how it works please

Come take a look!

I would suggest checking this out.

As ive progressed as well I would substitute the 2d elements and paint the graphic onto a 3d panel stuck to the screen.
