[RESOLVED] HP Window On-screen

[Zeichwolf]

Personally, I fail at scripting. So I thought I'd come to y'all to see if you guys can do what I can't (which is very likely, I can't do next to anything with scripting).

Anyway, here's what I'm trying to do. For my game, I want to have a window that's constantly on-screen. It'd be small, compact, and tucked away in the upper-right corner. All that would be in it is an HP display, like so (Pardon the horrible drawing):

-------------------
| HP: XXX/XXX |
| xxxxxxxxxxxxx |
-------------------

Basically? I want an HP count above and the bar graphic below, one that will reflect my current HP, if at all possible. Thanks for your time.

Is it OK to have some overlap or do they have to be completely disjoint?

[Zeichwolf]

It's fine to have some overlap, like in the menu.

You have friends in heart places.


If there is anything you want changed or if something doesn't work, just post and I will try to fix it.

#  Zeichwolf HUD
#  Version: 1.0
#  Author: modern algebra
#  Date: February 15, 2009
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#  Description:
#    A simple HUD that just shows the HP of the lead actor.
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#  Instructions:
#    Paste this script above Main and below Materials in the Script Editor (F11)
#
#    To toggle the HUD on and off, you can use the call script:
#      toggle_hud (x)
#
#      where x is either true or false, where true means the HUD will be shown
#  and false means it won't be. If you do not give any argument, it will just
#  toggle the visibility of the HUD, i.e. turn it on if it is off and off it
#  is on.

I kind of actually posted this yesterday by editing my first post, but I just realized today that you had posted before then so you probably never saw it so I am posting it again.

Heh, yeah. Zylos actually got me into the whole thing, so it's convenient that he happened to be a higher-up too!

But anyway, I stuck the script in, tested it out, everything's working just fine. It's really nicely done, thanks!

...And I'm gonna hate myself for this, but I'm gonna be picky for just a moment. Any way you can make the window say "HP" instead of just "H"? n.n;

[modern algebra]

Just change it in the database (F9). The last tab is the Terms tab and one of the entries is HP (abbr.): - change that to HP

[Zeichwolf]

Ah, thanks again, I'm still a bit new, so I make mistakes like this.
