Health bar above enemy

**ConquerStone** · 9th July 2012, 05:47 PM

Hi,

Is there a way to have a health bar (horizontal counter) stay above an enemy and have it follow him around but remain above him?

Yes, add this event:

+ Always
- [Counter] Set X Co-ordinate: X("Enemy")
- [Counter] Set Y Co-ordinate: Y("Enemy")-12

You have 2 Objects:
- Enemy
- Enemy Health ( Counter )

2
Give your Enemy an Alterable Value called Health_.

3
Whenever you create an Enemy, you create a Counter at the same time ( location not importaint ).
This is very importaint.

In the Event Editor do:

Allways
- Set Counter position to Enemy position
- Set Counter value to Enemy Health_

If number of Counters is lower than number of Enemies
+ Pick Counter at random
- Counter destroy

...
This will make sure each Enemy has a Counter wich follows it and displays the health of the Enemy it is following.
This also makes sure that when the Enemy is destroyed, its Counter is also destroyed.
