Is there anyway like in the Basic of the past to draw a filled box in my program that you can make any size like a block graph chart would use.

A Sprite without an image is a filled box, you can make them any size


Use one for each box, or reuse the same one with drawSprite()

Would that do or do you want outlines?

You can also use SetSpriteColor command to set the color you want.

The three commands together give you a drawbox, you could do a function like this:

Thanks guys wil try when I get home from work, basically its for a stats page where I have certain variables for SPEED, RELIABILITY, EXPERIENCE etc so rather then just have a number out of 10 next to it I want a coloured box that extends to the length of the variable too (seen it on lots of games).

Doveyy04, you'll be best with setting bar's max width instead of just setting it's width to certain number.
Say, you want a max. width of 200.



That'll work.

You can also make the health bar change color from green to yellow to red, as health decline.
