Starting an actor injured

[Dandydan]

I am using this HUD

http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/topic/678-angelo-vertical-hud/page-2

I have gone into the database and changed the starting actor MP and HP to the values I want.  However, I would like to start off the actor with less than max HP and MP. For example, the max HP is 50 and I would like to start them off at 25 so that the HUD shows the shows the HP bar half full.

However, I can't find a way to do this in the database. Do I need to create an invisible event that in effect injures the actor behind the scene?

I think you'd need to... possibly do it on a parallel process event on the initial map just so it runs before the map actually shows then simply erase/switch pages afterwards...

Hmmm. My issue is that I cannot seem to place an event on the same tile as the starting location. If I right-click on the tile and click "create event" nothing happens.  Is that a bug or a feature?

Why do you even need to put it on that same tile??? You can put it anywhere on the map, set it to parallel process or autorun and ur good to go

 Incorrect assumption on my part.

It's working now with the aid of a self-switch so this thread can now be closed. Thanks Engr. Shana.
