Easy Way To Make Health Bar

[Markswii99]

Thank You very much sparkey I understand those directions.

I do have one more question though. How do I mave a variable?

I feel I am asking way too many questions sorry about that.

[d-soldier]

To make a variable, all you need to do is click up on the SCRIPT tab, then GLOBAL CODE. In this area, click on the VARIABLES button (NOT THE VARIABLES/FUNCTION BUTTON), then on the ADD button. In this box you enter the name (remember that variable/scripts are CASE SENSATIVE) and you can adjust if it is a GLOBAL (default) or ACTOR variable... Click on the OK button when done, and thats all there is to it!

You are welcome.

when you shoot your enemy:
collide.health -= 5;

one last thing where do I put this part of the code?

In The Collision Event Of The Bullet To The Other Actor

shockingly... errors in script when i try and do the script... "illegal structure operation..." and "undeclared healthbar"...

[Caaz Games]

Mine or sparkys?

[d-soldier]

arcreamer, post your code (copy and paste it from your script in GE) here... typically those kinds of errors occur when you misplaced something in the script, or try to use a variable that doesn't exist.

steps 2, 3, and 4 confuse me. Coould someone explain them to me please?

you must make an actor called healthbar.

[Caaz Games]

ok
2.)change the animation of the healthar Actor to "STOPPED" in "Create actor".
3.)then make two actors ( for now lets just call them "A" and "B").
4.)go to "Draw Actor" of the Health Bar actor and put in the code:

Code: Select all

DestroyActor("A");


Have it "Wait For Frame Action" then put in the last frame number (mine would be 11)

[Sgt. Sparky]

[code/]
DestroyActor("A");
[/code]

*

Code: Select all

[code][/code]

those brackets are for making a code box.

[lilmuleman214]

for step five, do u put the code in the health bar, or a/b actors?

[Caaz Games]

The A actor
