[brasilboy109]

PHP Code:

// Scripted by *brasilboy109
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated(){
timeout=0.05;

/* HEALTH SCRIPT V1.0 MADE BY BRASILBOY109 */
/* IMGAES MADE BY PAVILION75 */
}

function onTimeout(){
if(player.hearts>=0.5){
  showimg(500,"pavilion75-red-heart-half.png",1000,25);
  changeimgzoom(500,1);
  changeimgvis(500,4);
}

//health 1 image
if(player.hearts>=1){
  showimg(501,"pavilion75-red-heart.png",1000,25);
  changeimgzoom(501,1);
  changeimgvis(501,4);
}


//health 1.5 image
if(player.hearts>=1.5){
  //health 0.5 image
  showimg(502,"pavilion75-red-heart-half.png",1050,25);
  changeimgzoom(502,1);
  changeimgvis(502,4);
}

//health 2 image
if(player.hearts>=2){
  //health 0.5 image
  showimg(503,"pavilion75-red-heart.png",1050,25);
  changeimgzoom(503,1);
  changeimgvis(503,4);
}
if(player.hearts>=2.5){
  //health 0.5 image
  showimg(504,"pavilion75-red-heart-half.png",1100,25);
  changeimgzoom(504,1);
  changeimgvis(504,4);
}
if(player.hearts>=3){
  //health 0.5 image
  showimg(505,"pavilion75-red-heart.png",1100,25);
  changeimgzoom(505,1);
  changeimgvis(505,4);

}if(player.hearts>=3.5){
  //health 0.5 image
  showimg(506,"pavilion75-red-heart-half.png",1150,25);
  changeimgzoom(506,1);
  changeimgvis(506,4);
}if(player.hearts>=4){
  //health 0.5 image
  showimg(507,"pavilion75-red-heart.png",1150,25);
  changeimgzoom(507,1);

}if(player.hearts>=4.5){
  //health 0.5 image
  showimg(508,"pavilion75-red-heart-half.png",1200,25);
  changeimgzoom(508,1);
  changeimgvis(508,4);

  //health 0.5 image
  showimg(509,"pavilion75-red-heart.png",1200,25);
  changeimgzoom(5009,1);
  changeimgvis(509,4);
}if(player.hearts>=5.5){
  //health 0.5 image
  showimg(510,"pavilion75-red-heart-half.png",1250,25);
  changeimgzoom(510,1);
  changeimgvis(510,4);

  changeimgvis(511,4);
  }
  timeout=0.05;
  }

lol.. well that's one way to do it..

To simply answer your first question, you have to hide the images as well.

hideimg(index); to hide a single showimg.
or
hideimgs(min index, max index); to do a range.

Other than that, your scripting is extremely distasteful, but I suppose it'll work and I don't care to tell you much more than that.

Also, use setTimer(.05); instead of timeout=.05;

Here's a hint for making it better:

PHP Code:

function onPlayerEnters() {
  onTimeOut();
}
function onTimeOut() {
  setTimer(.05);
  hideimgs(300, this.images);  //Clear the old images
  this.images = 300;  //Start a new image counter
  temp.maxHearts = 5; //Max heart count
  for (temp.i=0;temp.i<temp.maxHearts;temp.i++) { //Loop through the possible heart values
    if (temp.i>player.hearts) break; //Dont exceed the players heart count
    this.images++; //"Allocate" a new image
    showimg(this.images, "block.png", 32+temp.i*48, 32); //Draw the heart at the proper position.
    findimg(this.images).layer = 5; //Screen-relative layer
  }
} 


Ya. If something doesn't work or whatever, I did type this on my phone.. But I hope you appreciate that little snippet.

Yea thanks that helped alot.

You should use

PHP Code:

function onCreated() { 
  onTimeOut(); 
} 


instead of

PHP Code:

function onPlayerEnters() { 
  onTimeOut(); 
} 


Timeouts don't cancel when you enter a level.

How does he make it so that the hearts appear in the top right corner of the screen for all screen sizes?

You can use function GraalControl.onResize and use the coordinates (x and y) you always want your image to show at.

Relative positioning using screenwidth and screenheight. I.e:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  // Centered Block
  with (findimg(200)) {
    x = screenwidth / 2;
    y = screenheight / 2;
    image = "block.png";
    layer = 4;
  }
  // Top Right Block
  with (findimg(201)) {
    x = screenwidth - 64;
    y = 64;
    image = "block.png";
    layer = 4;
  }
  // Bottom Right
  with (findimg(202)) {
    x = screenwidth - 64;
    y = screenheight - 64;
    image = "block.png";
    layer = 4;
  }
} 


[brasilboy109]

so it'd be like???

PHP Code:

  //player hearts 0.5
  showimg(201,"pavilion75-red-heart-heart.png",850,25);
  changeimgzoom(201,1);
  changeimgvis(201,4);
    with (findimg(201)) { 
    x = screenwidth - 64; 
    y = 64; 
    image = "pavilion-red-heart.png"; 
    layer = 4; 
  } 


???

Here's an example. ( I couldn't understand how to do it when I first started scripting) =

PHP Code:


function GraalControl.onReSize()
{

  findimg( ID).x = VAL;
  findimg( ID).y = VAL;

}

  changeimgvis(201,4);
    with (findimg(201)) { 
    x = screenwidth - 64; 
    y = 64; 
    image = "pavilion-red-heart.png"; 
    layer = 4; 
  } 


???

an easier way would be

PHP Code:

//player hearts 0.5
  with (findimg(201))
  { 
    layer = 4; 
    x = screenwidth - 64; 
    y = 64; 
    image = "pavilion-red-heart.png"; 
    zoom = 1;    
  }

it's been a while, but are screenwidth and GraalControl.width essentially the same thing? or does screenwidth/height always return the monitor resolution regardless of the size of the game window?

It's possible they are the same thing, but I've been using GraalControl.width ever since we got it. Maybe screenwidth returns the width of the Graal window (GraalControl possibly being smaller). Not sure about that though.

GraalControl.width/height usually refer to the size of the Graal window unless you have changed the width/height of the GraalControl so that you can draw something outside of the GraalControl but still in the main Graal window (by adding child controls to GUIContainer), i.e. a chat box at the bottom of the screen that doesn't overlay on the level viewport.

I usually prefer using gui controls to make guis and just creating custom profiles for each of the controls I use.
