Hey i found a easy way how to make a Heath bar So im going to tell everyone so they can know too

1.)first make a health bar with multiple frames, (mine has 11 frames).

2.)Then change the animation to "STOPPED" in "Draw Actor".
3.)Next make two actors ( for now lets just call them "A" and "B").
4.)Again 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)
5.)When "A" collides with "B" use script editor and put in the code:

Code: Select all

HealthBar.animpos++;


And I think thats all!
Sorry for my misspelled words.
i hope it helps!

For a Health Package/whatever you want to call it use the code

Code: Select all

HealthBar.animpos--;

P.s.Why cant i name an actor "B"?

you meen, b, its because its a actor variable, defining Blue.

Good work on the health bar CAAZ. You are learning fast.

Gogo has it right. An actor is actually a structure of variables, and a variable in itself. There are three actor variables called r g and b, which are used to tint the overall color of an actor.

Oh, I never thought About the variable thing.

good job.
but how do you make it where.
when the health bar reaches the final animation,it changes the animation on my playor instead of destroying him?

change the destroy actor to a change animation

yeh i just figured out what i was doing wrong.
i kept forgetting to use wait for animation.
ty for the help though.

Thanks a lot!!! [/code]

what is up with the [/code] ?
oh, and Nice HP Bar __CAAZ__

That looks great, and seems so simple! It seems for me that upon collision, my heath bar flickers down a peg, then goes right back to full... What did I do wrong?!

send me the game (.ged and the data folder) and I will fix it

you might have forgotten to set the animation to stopped

I am sorry if I'm being difficult but I am kinda new at this stuff could you please explain how I would use this method to make the health bar go down a little everytime I shoot the enemy and when the health bar finally reaches 0 the enemy is destroyed.

make a health variable called health(Actor variable)
when you shoot your enemy:
collide.health -= 5;
on the create actor event of your enemy:
health = 25;
on the draw actor event of your enemy:
if(health <= 0)DestroyActor("Event Actor");

Thank You very much sparky
