Health bar calculation

[mcavalcanti]

Hi, guys. I saw something about it in the forum, but I cant' find.

I have enemies with different life values (life=100; life=400; life=600) and my healthbar animation has 10 positions. But, to become more realistic, I would like to avoid this simple code:

hp-=10;
enemy.animpos=hp;

What could be a right calculation? Thanks.

if life is 100 then enemy.animpos=hp/10;
if life is 400 then enemy.animpos=hp/40;
and so on

Hmm... I think it is not working.
For now, I'm putting this on lifebar Draw script:

if(creator.hp==100) { animpos = 10; }
else { animpos = creator.hp/10; }

I would like to put the suggested calculation method in this code.

healthbar.animpos = (10/maxhp)*currenthp;

this should work...

Thanks, Savvy. I understood the calculation, but I'm getting the 'illegal division by zero' error.
Seens to be correct... (10/100)*50 = 5
But the error is occurring
