Forums → Programming Forum → Health bars problem

hmm... shouldn't be too hard, really. Now that I think about it, it's probably fixed by adding a char_hp_max value... like this:

stop();
char_hp_max=200;
char_hp=100;
energy_bar=400;

onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
this._xscale=(_root.char_hp/_root.char_max_hp)*100;
if(_root.char_hp<=0)
_root.char_hp=0;
}

You see, you can set the hp to nearly infinite, but if you don't specify the maximum hp, there's no real way to make sure it doesn't go beyond 100. After all, flash does know how much hp you have, but doesn't know what percentage that is of the total health. In the example above, your health bar will start at 50%, which equals 50 pixels wide.

Give it a shot, and let me know! Good luck!

hmm didnt work...

Hmm, did it give any errors? What exactly happened / didn't work?

all that happened it that the character faced the other direction

@PixelSmash

Its weird it just didn't work
But it gave no errors

But the health is till exceeding 100 width, hmm
