I understand how to make a health bar coding by using a box for the health gauge for my character. What I'm looking for is to see if I can bend that box into an eclipse shape.

I've made a circular picture of my hero and want to have his health bar going around him. From at the bottom going clockwise to the other side. This will also be used for Exp gaining.

Any suggestions?

If you do something 10,000 times. Your bound to get it right once.

you can use cosine and sine functions like this



if you need the dot bigger you can use "box" instead of "dot"
if you want the health bar to go the other way delete "step -1" and instead of "90 - CircleHealth" put "90 + CirleHealth"
do the same for exp but a bigger or smaller circle
hope it helps

Databug ~> I've tried out your code, but all I got was a dot in the upper left hand corner of the screen.

what about using an Ellipse command?

To make things easier. Try downloading my ruff draft of my Experience gauge to use with.

whoops i forgot to set the variables
HeroX is your hero's x position
HeroY is the y position
Health is the current health
MaxHealth is the maximum health
CircleRadius is how big you want the circle to be
