Hey how how are you guys i need some help again with my health bars. Ive been able to create my health bars by using the box command and when the characters attack each other they go down. My problem is, is that the only way the health bars work is if the code backdrop on : color backdrop 60 is used. This command covers the background completely blue except the health bars and the characters. My question is how can i have my health bars work without having to use this command. Heres the code im using i got it from an example program in the code data base I appreciate any help you guys can provide.


[ H = 170
H = 470

DO

backdrop on : color backdrop 60

`This is the health box used to increase/decrease
`H is your variable. Basically, when you add to H, the box grows and when you subtract, it decreases.

box 20,50,H,75
box H2,50,615,75

`It wouldn't be fair to have a million+ health.
`So now we add some control factors
If H >170
H=H-0.01
endif

If H2 >470
H2=H2+0.01
endif


`Now, it's not necessary to have this function, but we can limit the minimum health to 0 in the same way
If H<0
H=H+0.01
endif

If H2<0
H2=H2+0.01
endif



if sprite hit(2,4)
play sound 4
H=H-1
endif

if H = 0
delete sprite 2
center text 320,240, "Player 1 Wins!"
Wait 5000
`GOTO GAMEOVER:
endif

if sprite hit(4,2)
play sound 4
H2=H2+1
endif

if H2 = 0
delete sprite 4
center text 320,240, "Player 2 Wins!"
Wait 5000
GOTO Gameover
endif

`You can also add more advanved features to your health bar. Simple, but effective
`((int(H/1))*1) This line is used to round your health to the nearest 1's place.
set cursor 5,60
print "Health "+str$((int(H/1))*1)

set cursor 470,60
print "Health "+str$((int(H2/1))*1)
sync
loop]

It worked for me...
You don't really even need the backdrop on anyway just replace it with a cls. also the health text doesnt even show up so you might want to type it at the top of your program, sprite it and paste over the health bar.

Also, post your code in [code ][/code ] tags so it's easier to copy and paste. Also, this can prevent it from getting messed up if you use things like hex values that the forum will pick up on.

Errrrmm.....

You May get Adventure games of all genres are good really so I reccomend them!
