I still haven't solved the problem.
Anyone can tell me how to fix this?

-------------
It seems I can't make any calculatons inside a script at all :S. I get syntax error... In any other language I was able to calculate inside (command's/function's whatever) arguments.
f.i : draw_health(30,30,(85*health)/100)
But trying to do it in Lite-C throws an error...

Hi Crypton,
Sorry for the late reply.
Had no internet connection durring the weekend
(shake fist @provider).

I wrote a little code snipet with:

hbar(0, 0, 200,.....
(its somemthing like this, sry I have to access to my workstation here)

Its kinda old, and its not in the manual but it is exactly what you were looking for.
I tested it also with decimals and it works very well.

As soon as I have my internet connection up and running I can post a little code snippet.
You can try to find the hbar / vbar instrunctions, I couldnt find it in the manual. Ive found it in an old project where I had a healthbar.

maybe soemeone else knows the exact syntax of hbar/vbar.

cheers

hbar/vbar is now window

Thanks for the reply! Really need those..

Anyways yes, hbar and vbar seem to be ld definitions. From Manual under "Obsolete Syntax":

PANEL.hbar, PANEL.vbar panel.window A6

But any idea how to achieve my request? I can't think of anything right now to solve this. Any previous experience with programming doesn't seem to work here :P.

Hi Crypton,
I tried it again with window and I didnt get it to work.
as you mentioned, window doesnt accept variables or decimals.

Maybe this code will help you.



This code is tested and should work like a comon healthbar.
Im also interested in knowing how to make a healthbar with window
I will test some more but it seems that it wont work with window.
Anyway, I hope you can use the vbar code.

cheers

I can compile it but it doesn't work for me.
Anyways who the hell made a function that can't take variables or demicals in its arguments .

But said that, I thought to look around in the forum and see if anyone else had that problem and how they got it solved. What I saw was that they create a bitmap that has a full part and an empty part. So when the health decreases the bitmap is being moved from full part to empty part.

Basically the topic here:
Healthbar thingy

It seems there is no actual way to cut the sprite? :S. Would be better just to keep the bitmap sizes under control...

ive created a working health bar demo useing hbar for you
you can get it at the free lite c section of my site

mysite

Why does it not work for you?
use "t" to decrease the willenskraft variable and you will see that the bar will become shorter. I set it on "t" just that you can see that the bar is working (also with decimals).

Of course for a real healthbar you need a damage system and code that defines when the variable should be decreased

cheerio

Quick reply:
Well it didn't, dunno why. I pressed the "t" button but nothing happened... In badapple's example there was a little difference in the function and that worked btw.

If I have more time I can analyze more of that. I have A7, trial for now, and it's a pity that window can't do the same what hbar or vbar can do (They aren't included in the manual)
