Hey I found this code in the codebase.

How do I make
1. The plain that fills with the red horizantle
2. Make it increase and decrease based on damage by bullets?
Any help is appreciated.

are you using dbc or dbpro?

i ran the code in dbpro and it works fine

question #1 How do i make the plain that fills with the red horizontal?

the red horizontal is the cylinder being textured based on the value of health.

question #2 How do I make it increase and decrease based on damage by bullets?


its not really a piece of code that you can put directly into your program but a guideline code that needs editing
well in your function that checks to see if they player is hit or your main loop when your character is hit get the amount of damage it does and set health to that amount and then use the function _update_health(health,1,1)

I'm using dbcEnhanced and for the first one I ment the plain not the cylinder, how do I make the verticle plain go horzontal but retain it's parameters, I might know the answer myself, but I'm probably wrong...

if you insist on using the code then..
just increase or decrease health by however much life u want added or subtracted and then call the function _update_health(perc,img,obj)

its just a guideline, you dont even need the cylindder as it is just drawing a box on the screen based on the variable health. my guess is that the cylinder is there to activate 3d mode by having db do it when an object is made for the first time

I can't run it, for the global variables it says unknown command, this demo was made for DBCenhanced right?
If I didn't poin it out in the first place then it's my fault, but I'll be upgrading soon to DBPRO so it might help in the future.
Thanks...

global variabls are only in dbpro which i used to code it but the same effect can be used by using variable arrays, i think


I am unfimiliar with DBC but i heard that variable arrays work in place of global variables, it works in dbpro and they globals are variable arrays and will work in dbc. there might be other commands, just let me know and i will try to fix/change them
