whoah,
you do have way to much free time!
well,
make a text actor,
and make a var called Health.
on the create actor event of the text actor:

Code: Select all

Health = 100;

on the draw actor vent of the text actor

Code: Select all

textNumber = Health;

when the player collides with the enemy or whatever hurts em'

Code: Select all

Health -= 25

or whatever you want it to be subtacted by.
on the draw actor event of the player:

Code: Select all

if (Health < 1)
{
    DestroyActor("Event Actor");
}

I hope that helps!

Mkae an animation of the health bar from empty to full. Set up the Health variable as Sgt. Sparky mentioned above. The health bar actor needs a create actor script:

Code: Select all

ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", STOPPED);

alternatively, use the changeanimationdirection event. Also add adraw actor script:

Code: Select all

animpos = (Health / 100) * nframes;

This can be done more efficiently if you know the number of frames. Use calculater to find the number of frames divided by the maximum value for your health. Multiply this figure and multiply it by health. For examle, if the maximum amount of health is 100 and the health bar has 50 frames, you would use:

Code: Select all

animpos = Health * .5;

you stole my person I was going to help

[Luke playa]

i didn't understand that, dillo dude, shoudln't it be

Code: Select all

animpos = health * .2;

? because 100 : 50 = 2, not 5...

how many animation frames do ya' have

[DilloDude]

It is the frames divided by the total. IE 50 / 100 which is a half, or .5.

[Sgt. Sparky]

yeah, how many frames are there?
