Mega Man-style Sprite HUD

[xWhyohwhyx]

Hey, I'm trying to do this on version 4.1.5, but for some reaon the scripts seem to be a little different? Like, I can't find any of the reffered code at all. What's up with that?

So I'm on vacation and didn't bring my laptop with me. i have also was switching stuff over to my desktop because my laptop has been acting up and was planning to use remote destop to see if i could squeeze in some work while i am away, but I forgot to transfer over some files. What i'm saying is that it will be a bit dificult to help til i get back on Sunday. That said, i dont remember having issues remiplenting this in 4.1.5, but this was during the byte off, and i was in a rush, so i don't remember everything i did. I'll attach my most recent code for the macro. It's a little cumbersome to check to see if it is different at the moment, sorry. I think you should be able to call the macro in the pre-draw script (which can easily be accessed in the script settings in 4.1) and you should be pretty much good to go.

Code: Select all

MACRO DrawStatusBar arg0, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6
	;; arg0 x position of bottom bar segment
	;; arg1 y position of bottom bar segment
	;; arg2 value bar is displaying
	;; arg3 location of empty graphic
	;; arg4 attribute data (bits 0 and 1 determine which palette is used)
	;; arg5 maxValue
	;; arg6 location of top graphic

iirc the main difference is that the tranpoline for the macro to work has to be set in bank14.asm instead of HandleUpdateObjects.asm

Hm, that's weird. The health bar should update automatically depending on whatever value your health currently is. If I understand you correctly, the health bar is working correctly when the player gets damaged and health goes down? Can I see your health pick up code? Can you confirm if your health variable is actually getting updated?
