Hey, I've figured out how to make the Perfect HP bar, and it reads pixel by pixel

But I need to know how to use the for statement so that I can make the HP bar fill up instatnly instead of slowly filling up

I need this transformed into a for statement
- Code: Select all
if (i<hp)
{
setpen(0, 255, 255, 0, 3);
moveto(i, 0);
lineto(i, height-1);
i++;
}

*looks around for other forum users*
I know I'm not the only one who knows how to use a for loop.. :p
For has three arguments. First is initial value, second is exit condition, third is what to do to the variable each iteration. So for example
for(i=0;i<10;i++){
Do stuff here;}
i starts at zero, gets +1 every iteration, and the loop ends when i is no longer less than 10, hope that helps
