HP bar showing up every time player loses health (Not for the Default Battle System).

[TheRamenGirl]

Hello!
I was looking for a way or a script that when the player loses health, a small health bar would show up above their head (for a few moments and then disappear maybe?). I am not talking about the default battle system..
More like a HUD system..

 

[TheRamenGirl]

any idea someone?

MY SAVIOR RONINATOR2 IS BACK SAVING (ONCE AGAIN) THE SITUATION!!
Thank you very very much!!
Also, You weren't online for a few days i kinda woried..

The script is working just fine! (it's not nesesary but if you can set it) can the hp bar "follow" the player? it does appear and dissapear just fine with nice timing but when i move the player it stays behind.

 

[Roninator2]

Script updated.

I had a bad storm in my area. It snapped over 180 power poles. Took 6 days to get power back.
And another 3 to get internet.

oh my god.. are you ok?

 

[Roninator2]

are you ok?

Sure, We didn't get any damage to our house. We had installed a shade sail the day before and it held.

Glad it's what you wanted. Enjoy

Friendly Suggestions:

  def hud_data_changed() @current_hp != @actor.hp end
# several lines of code here
  @map_hud_seen = false if @timer == Graphics.frame_count

I gotta say both lines are totally optional but the first one does improve @Roninator2 's code.

One thing I didn't understand, Ron, was that you used Graphics.frame_count as @timer 's basic value and then added 60 on a separate line. That would mean it'd just show up for a second if Graphics.frame_rate is set to 60. You could let TRG set that value at will by setting just another custom CONSTANT inside the new module you had provided above.

It's myself not fully understanding the system.
In my game if I did Graphics.frame_count I get a seconds ( at least it looks that way) and when testing the output It looked like I got just that, So I added 6 originally and it just blinked on the screen.
Then I changed to 60 and it stayed for a few seconds. Then I just left it.
But you right that it should be a value the player can change easily from the module.
I'll add that.

Hello! if it is easy for you, can you add a on/off switch option? Because the bar appears when i am doing different things sometimes and maybe by adding a switch i can manage to balance this.

[TheRamenGirl]

Awesome thank you!
The bar still shows up, i think i know how.. when i select things from the items it happens..
i am mentioning it because you may know why..
Anyway, it doesn't bother me very much! I can still work with it!

 

[Roninator2]

Ah I see, it shows up when exiting the menu.
Let me see what I can do.

*update, had to change .open to .show. should work for you now.

 

[TheRamenGirl]

Works perfectly! thanks!
