Open your project and follow the tutorial in the spoiler bellow.  (WARNING: lots of big pictures in the spoiler

well than i did exactly what you said on a new project and then i did a playtest and i didnt show anything new...

[valdred]

i have no idea, you'll have to find another HUD script and do the same.

[modern algebra]

Well, the script posted has methods for drawing the bars, but it doesn't actually call those methods in the areas required.

Try adding this in its own slot directly below the script valdred provided:

Code Select Expand


class Window_Base
 alias ma_tsuno_hms_bars_drwhp_8jg3 draw_actor_hp
 def draw_actor_hp(actor, x, y, width = 144, *args)
   draw_hp_bar (actor, x, y + 24, width)
   ma_tsuno_hms_bars_drwhp_8jg3(actor, x, y, width, *args)
 end
 alias mtshmst_bar_drwsp_1gr2 draw_actor_sp
 def draw_actor_sp(actor, x, y, width = 144, *args)
   draw_sp_bar (actor, x, y + 24, width)
   mtshmst_bar_drwsp_1gr2(actor, x, y, width, *args)
 end
end


If you don't want the SP bar, just delete:

Code Select Expand



 alias mtshmst_bar_drwsp_1gr2 draw_actor_sp
 def draw_actor_sp(actor, x, y, width = 144, *args)
   draw_sp_bar (actor, x, y + 24, width)
   mtshmst_bar_drwsp_1gr2(actor, x, y, width, *args)
 end




My personal favourite bar script is Blizzard's though. This one is pretty too though.

[kliko]

well thanks.. but it still doesnt work..:S
i can see it on the menu bt not on the game screen..

[modern algebra]

umm, huh?

HP normally doesn't show up on the map.

Are you actually asking for an HUD script (which consists of an HP bar) here? And not the HP Bar script you explicitly requested?
HUD meaning heads up display, as in any information that is visible while moving around on the map. 

[kliko]

oh well i didnt know there is a differance thanks anyway!

[modern algebra]

Well, there's this script, but you probably want something less Zelda-ey: http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,34731.0.html

This one's pretty, but you sound like you want something simpler: http://punkid89.b1.jcink.com/index.php?showtopic=182

In any case, there are a lot of HUDs out there - just search around the forums (not just this one, but other RMXP forums too) using the keyword HUD  and I'm sure you'll find one that you'll like.
