Need help making HP and SP bars in battle.

[Spence607 1]

I want to make a script to display HP and SP bars in battle. That actually decrease when HP or SP is lost and increase when HP or SP is gained.

 

Here's what I basically want it to look like:

 

 

I have no clue where to start, any help would be much appreciated.

 

Note: This is not a script, the bars were added with GIMP.

 

Thanks,

Try this code snippet, and use the method in the draw_actor_hp/sp methods:

 

class Window_Base
 def draw_bar(x, y, min, max, width, height, bar_color = Color.new(120, 120, 50, 255))
  self.contents.fill_rect(x, y, width, height, Color.new(50, 50, 50, 255))
  for i in 1..( (min.to_f / max.to_f) * width -1)
	r = bar_color.red * (width - i) / width + end_color.red * i / width
	g = bar_color.green * (width - i) / width + end_color.green * i / width
	b = bar_color.blue * (width - i) / width + end_color.blue * i / width
	a = bar_color.alpha * (width - i) / width + end_color.alpha * i / width
	self.contents.fill_rect(x + 1 + i, y + 1, 1, height - 2, Color.new(r, g, b, a))
  end
 end
end

To use it, call it using: draw_bar(x, y, min, max, width, height, color)

Now, x and y are the placements, min is the current number, max is the maximum number, width is the width of the ba, and height is the height of the bar. Color is self explainatory, but to set it, use Color.new(r, g, b, a)

 

So, for hitpoints, use: draw_bar(x, y, actor.hp, actor.maxhp, 120, 10, Color.new(200, 20, 0, 255))

Not exact, but an example, no less.

 

To use this method, use draw_bar(

Sorry man, I couldn't understand it. Ended up using Cogwheel's HP/SP/EXP Gauge Script. Just edited it a bit.

Thanks for the help anyways man. Although I do need help centering some text. I'd like to have the numbers in the middle of the bar, both in the menu and battles.

Change the 'x' attribute of the text.

[Spence607 1]

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

# * Draw HP

# actor : actor

# x : draw spot x-coordinate

# y : draw spot y-coordinate

# width : draw spot width

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

def draw_actor_hp(actor, x, y, width = 144)

# Draw "HP" text string

self.contents.font.color = normal_color

self.contents.draw_text(x, y, 34, 32, $data_system.words.hp)

# Calculate if there is draw space for MaxHP

if width - 32 >= 108

hp_x = x + width - 108

flag = true

elsif width - 32 >= 48

hp_x = x + width - 48

flag = false

end

# Draw HP

self.contents.font.color = actor.hp == 0 ? knockout_color :

actor.hp <= actor.maxhp / 4 ? crisis_color : normal_color

self.contents.draw_text(hp_x, y, 48, 32, actor.hp.to_s, 2)

# Draw MaxHP

if flag

self.contents.font.color = normal_color

self.contents.draw_text(hp_x + 48, y, 12, 32, "/", 1)

self.contents.draw_text(hp_x + 60, y, 48, 32, actor.maxhp.to_s)

end

end

 

What x value exactly?

 

Never mind man, I figured it out. Thanks for all the help.
