How can i display players health or damage above his head?

i mean like this:


this image shows damage that has been done to the monster...

Try something like this: (not tested)
while(1)
{
vec_set(temp,monster.pos);
vec_to_screen(temp,camera);
panel.pos_x = temp.x - (panel.size_x /2); //to be at center
panel.pos_y = temp.y - 50; //play with this value to place panel above entity
wait(1);
}

not exactly what i wanted but tnx anyway it works nice.

New question.
how can i copy my pannel?
i drew a picture so i can explain easier what i want.



screen has ICON 1, ICON 2 and so on.
now i want that this icons are icon_enemy panels.
So when I click on icon 1 or icon 2 I call SUM_ENEMY();


I hope you understand what i mean

Thank you.

For your 2nd question, you can write the code like this :

Code:

---

panel icon1
{
  pos_x = 5;
  pos_y = 10;
  bmap = enemyBmap;
  on_click = sum_enenmy;
}

---

I don't understand what you mean "copy panel", maybe you can write
your code like this :

PANEL* icon2;

panel icon1
{
//... define elements of icon1
}

icon2 = icon1;

EDIT
----
I've modified some codes.

yes thats what i mean but it doesnt work.
This is what I did...
Code:

---

 

PANEL* icon1;
PANEL* icon2;

panel icon_enemy
{
	bmap=i_enemy;
	pos_x=10;
	pos_y=10;
	layer=11;
	on_click=summon_enemy;
	flags = overlay, refresh;
	
}

 

---

then I copyed icon_enemy panel in icon1 and 2 like this.
Code:

---

  

if (i==0)
	{
		icon1=icon_enemy;
		
		icon1.pos_x=main_slot2_pan.pos_x+16;
		icon1.pos_y=main_slot2_pan.pos_y+17;					
		icon1.visible=on;
		icons[i]=1;
	}
	
if (i==1)
	{
		icon2=icon_enemy;
		
		icon2.pos_x=main_slot3_pan.pos_x+16;
		icon2.pos_y=main_slot3_pan.pos_y+17;					
		icon2.visible=on;
		icons[i]=1;
	}

---

So now first i=0 so it copys panel to icon1 and sets icon1 position.
Then i=1 and copys panel to icon2 and sets icon2 position and suddenly
icon1 dissaperes. which i dont want i want both icon1 and icon2
to be visible, and when i click on them they both have to call the same function.

Tnx for your help.

You want to have panel over each entity? or what?
if yes... not easyer is do this by pan_create in every entity's action?

Hi PeterM!

For positioning the health above the player you can also use the position near the head of tht player instead of his origin...

(Using vec_for_vertex)

You will probably have to subtract a bit, too. However it will be more accurate.

tompo yes i was thinking of something like that but pan_create
takes only bmap and layer like in example:

Splash = pan_create("bmap = splash.pcx;",1);

but i want the panel to have an on_click option to.

Oh never mind i just figured it out that i can do this...
icon1=pan_create("bmap=i_enemy; on_click=summon_enemy;",11);

tnx for your help tompo
