Health bars above an event

[PKirkby]

I'm looking to implement a health bar above my enemies, I have an action RPG setup so I think it'd be great to show. And also for my Player's HUD. I could have this display in numbers 400HP/500HP for example, but I'd prefer a health bar. If anyone has an easy solution to this I'd appreciate it, thanks!

Yanfly has a plugin that could work. Look at the plugins available, since I don't remember the exact name of it

I looked into it but it seems that its for in-battle sequences, but i have none of them because im doing it in action rpg style.

I'm not sure there's a way to easily implement HP bars without a plugin, so...

Moving to Plugin Requests.

Ok thanks.

If your using health bar in the field then maybe using smrndude plugins could work.

That's a really helpful tool for testing, but it seems his HUD editor isn't implemented yet, thanks for the tip though!

Edit: With more searching I think I've found it, I'll let you know how it works. Thanks!

Cool. I would really like to know and see what you really meant in action. Since a future project of might may involve a similar system.

I can send you some sort of video clip perhaps, can we attach videos to this forum, or is there a better preference?

 

[J-G]

Yeah I believe you can but the URL for the video link works better.

SRD's hud maker can be used for the player'hp in a part of the screen but is not dynamic enough for the enemies, though... you can put a piece of the hud to show the current target enemy's hp, but not a bar on top of the enemy that follows them.

However, someone in this thread suggested using this Mog plugin
But it seems to be hero-only, not events...
At least for me the site seems to be in portuguese, in the topic there is a screenshot of it in english but may be google translated.
You need two images, SHUD_A and SHUD_B, on the system folder. They are not shown there but the only way to download the plugins is by downloading the master demo project so the example ones are in there for you to see. The plugin commands to show and hide areeasy to understand, hide_s_hud and show_s_hud .

I'll look into that, I got so busy with my own HUD I forgot about the enemies lifebar. Thanks!

That took me to a studio link. Where I cannot see anything.

Yeah, my bad. Try it again.

 

[J-G]

Ohh okay I see. How did you accomplish it?

Mostly with Galv's projectiles, then messages over events for the Damage HP. Strung a bunch of variables together for damage. And a whole slew of other plugins.

 

[J-G]

I see... I was thinking of using images to display enemy hp, tied in with variables.

Yeah, I don't know how that would be done. If you figure it out I'd love to know, thanks!

Will do, may be a while before I get to that point. Still working on graphics for my game. Mainly walk sprites and battlers
