Always-visible bars?

[teeth]

I'm messing around with a simulation project that's designed to have an always-visible sidebar that displays the player's stats. So far I have something like this:

Code: Select all

screen sidebar:
    zorder 1
    frame:
        background "sidebar.png"
        left_margin  20
        bottom_margin 5
        left_padding  15
        #top_margin  40
        xalign 0.0
        yalign 0.0
        vbox:
            label "[weekday], [month] [day]"
            label "Energy: [energy]/100"

I'm not trying to make it pretty quite yet, I'm just trying to make it display what I want it to display. So far, it seems to work well enough.

However, instead of just having it display how many energy points the player currently has, I'd like to display a bar. I've tried the bar tutorials listed on the forums, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do this without my game crashing because I did something incompatible. I'm very new to coding, so if someone could show me what to do or explain this in a very simple way, I'd be incredibly grateful?

You need to create two init variables. Something like current_energy and max_energy.

Then add a bar to your screen.

Code: Select all

bar value current_energy range max_energy

You can also just do plain

Code: Select all

bar value energy range 100
