Life Bar above characters

[oclipper]

Hi guys,

Is there script to have lifebar above characters head ? (and maintain default life bar top of game screen). I found no results searching the forum, some mods have this feature (life bar above monsters like RPG games) but no idea how to bring it on my mod.

Use updated.c for that. You can draw the bars yourself with two drawbox calls or you can move engine created bars.

You have to loop through entities and create/move bars. Here's a function example to move bars :

void drawBars(){
	int iECnt = openborvariant("count_entities");
	int iEnt;
	void vEnt, previousAggro;
	void aniID;
	int entGroup;
	int count = 0;
	int i;
	for(iEnt=0; iEnt<iECnt; iEnt++){
		vEnt=getentity(iEnt);
		if(getentityproperty(vEnt,"exists")){
		
			int x = getentityproperty(vEnt, "x");
			int z = getentityproperty(vEnt, "z") - openborvariant("ypos");
		
			changeentityproperty(vEnt, "lifeposition", x, z-100);
			changeentityproperty(vEnt, "nameposition", x+20, z-100);
		}
	}
	
}

To enable engine created bar, in entity file :

lifebarstatus 100 10 0 0
lifeposition -999 -999
iconposition -999 -999
nameposition -999 -999

In updated.c (should be in scripts folder, if you don't have on just create one).

void main(){
    drawBars();

}

		}
	}
	
}

To enable engine created bar, in entity file :

lifebarstatus 100 10 0 0
lifeposition -999 -999
iconposition -999 -999
nameposition -999 -999

With first code as update,c inside script folder, game crash after character select.

Where to put second code? I tried update,c from ClaFan mod and appeared hp/mana in numbers, My mod is based on final fight x,

He mentioned updated.c, not update.c. However, I can draw my lifebars for players in update.c but not the RPG style-like ones. There's a difference between update.c and updated.c. They're not the same.

update.c

    ~Engine starts update cycle.

updated.c

    ~Engine completes update cycle.

updated.c in which Piccolo meant/mentioned:

void main(){
    drawBars();
}

void drawBars(){
	int iECnt = openborvariant("count_entities");
	int iEnt;
	void vEnt, previousAggro;
	void aniID;
	int entGroup;
	int count = 0;
	int i;
	for(iEnt=0; iEnt<iECnt; iEnt++){
		vEnt=getentity(iEnt);
		if(getentityproperty(vEnt,"exists")){
		
			int x = getentityproperty(vEnt, "x");
			int z = getentityproperty(vEnt, "z") - openborvariant("ypos");
		
			changeentityproperty(vEnt, "lifeposition", x, z-100);
			changeentityproperty(vEnt, "nameposition", x+20, z-100);
		}
	}
	
}

With first code as update,c inside script folder, game crash after character select.

Is that a typo that says "update,c" instead of "update.c"? (Does your file say "update.c" or "update,c"?)

I think these must be in the entity header for example.

name Rusty
health 100
speed 14
type enemy
lifebarstatus 100 10 0 0
lifeposition -999 -999
iconposition -999 -999
nameposition -999 -999

EDIT: I forgot this one here.
