Gorram motherfarging percentage signs! Gaaaarg! ENTIRE POST, GONE!
-_-
Ahem.
Question for the peanut gallery:
Terazel came up with an idea I rather like, using a metaphor of time for hp: as you get hit, you tick towards the midnight of your life.
So I made a script that displays a pie-chart-sorta clock around your shadow, ticking towards midnight. And it can be color-coded easy enough to reflect your faction: Red for the City, blue for the Mountain, yellow for the Desert, gray for Other. But some of you will have spotted the problem already: the player's in the way of half the display!
So what should I do?
1) I could draw the partial-ring of health on top of the player's shadow. Might look a little silly.
2) I could leave it the way it is - you can still see the player's health when they get hit, etc.
3) I could cut the ring in half: the player's main clock still ticks from noon to midnight, but the clock around their feet only ticks from 3 to 9.
4) I could make the ring much bigger: but we're talking like 6x9 tiles to maintain the aspect ratio. (6x12 to be perfectly fair...)
I had more, but they got deleted BECAUSE I HAD THE AUDACITY TO USE A PERCENT SIGN. GRR. |
