Health bar? (and Wordpad is a meanie butt-face D:)

[Faefae]

Hello everyone, it's time for another completely-obvious-newb-question-of-the-day!

....How do I make a health bar?

I want to make one but I don't know and I can't use my common sense to think of how because Wordpad is annoying me and not keeping the text formatting when I paste code so it all ends up appearing in one big block of code-ness. *sadfaces*

Screen Language is the way to go. I can't really give you any script at the moment, because I'm not at my project compy. But There's plenty of people around that know how to program a nice slider.

As for Wordpad not keeping code formatting, that's what copypasting into a code block is for (see that code tage up top? That's why it's there).

I wish you the best of luck.

Code: Select all

screen health_bar:
    hbox:
         xalign 0.0 yalign 0.0
         text _("Health:")
         bar value AnimatedValue(health, range=100.0)

label start:
    $ health = 100
    show screen health_bar

    "I'm walking down the street..."

    $ health = 90

    "When I stub my toe."

Thanks very much for posting that code! It's taken me 2 hours of searching and trial and error to set up a health bar, and when I saw that code, it only took a few minutes to get set up. Thanks very much!
