For my HUD, it has a health bar that is not a straight line (that rules out "dbStretchSprite()"), but I cannot find a command that would allow me to show a part of the sprite, and hide the rest. Any clues?

You could offset the sprites UV's to only show a part of it's texture, then size it to how you want it

or

you could GetImage on the part of the sprites image that you want and paste it, I guess it would depend on what you want to do with it, for just a health bar, I think pasting should work aswell as using a sprite.


If you can, can you post a pic of your HUD, when you said health bar that isnt a straight line, you have me all curious now lol HUD graphics and interface ideas are something I need to start looking at soon myself

If it ain't broke.... DONT FIX IT !!!

This is a very early WIP shot of the HUD (the ammo, etc. is probably the final but the health bar is defo going to be changed to something that fits in more (but again, it will not be a straight line)

hello,

this is my first post so lets try to start on a good note...


what I do is use a if statement,

if(health > 5)
{
dbHideSprite(....);
}

and so on.

well, you could make a image that is just the color you have set to transparency, load that on top of your health bar, mirror(or is it flip, i cant remember which is horizontal) the sprite, then stretch it according to the amount of health.

-to the optimist, the glass is half full. to the pessimist, it is half empty, to the engineer, it is twice as big as it needs to be.
