Summary

Here is a simple healthbar example I made for all those people in the Novice Questions and Answers asking how to make multiple healthbars. This example features...

// More than one healthbar
// Shooting towards the mouse (with inaccuracy)
// Setting a cursor sprite
// Making blood and guts spurt everywhere
// Using the random function
// Using gravity
// Moving diagonaly
// Changing weapons

If you use this for one of your games I would appreciate it if you give some credit to me - it's just a nice thing to do.

I've converted it into a GM6 if you wanted. I have GM6 Registered so it was no problem.

i personally don't think anybody would need this kind of example...

for drawing multiple healthbars, you should use the healthbar code ( gml, not D&D) and just use variables...

[XxSyThExX]

This was an awsome example really good how you did the gml and the d&d together great tutorial only if all tutorials were like this! Very good 10/10 I'll definetly use this! Thanks!

Well some people think otherwise. Remember, this is not only for multiple healthbars, but custom ones too.

Thanks for the great feedback. 10/10 is a great score, thanks! Are there any suggestions for new features or improvements? Maybe I'll add an option to change weapons?

Doesn't work for me :'( Do I have to put all the sprite changes in drawing event? Because my sprite doesn't change when I want it to when I use this

[monomito]

[trippledean96]

Wow this is great, i am sooo using this in my game!!!!

[dRuNkEn ImMoRtAl]

amazing work!
More examples should be like this with the D&D and code.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hmm... Try this:

draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index,image_index,x,y,image_xscale,imag
e_yscale,image_angle,image_blend,image_alpha)

If your not registered, just use:

draw_sprite(sprite_index,image_index,x,y)

nice I like it good work

Thanks.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes I know. I should make some more stuff like this.

Everyone, I have majourly updated the tutorial. It now includes...

// Shooting towards the mouse with inaccuracy
// Changing weapons
// Using alarms
// Using up ammo
// Drawing the amount of ammo
// Healthbar Backgrounds
// Actions for the code that I forgot to put in the old version

Buttons to change weapons...

1=Machinegun
2=Shotgun

Have fun!

[Grievous]

lol. With the inaccuracy, shooting, ammo and such, this is looking more like my TDS example than a healthbar example.

Anyway, I suggest making the blood disappear after a while... other than that, nice work.

[Glen]

I liked this... It was fun to mess around with...

[Astrosapien]

Excellent example. I'm trying to make a good RPG game right now, and my knowledge of GML is very limited, so this really helped me. Thanks!

[Chibi Neko]

stubbjax02, thanks for supplying the example tutorial. This will certainly make many GM learners, such as myself, learn more about multiple health, and some of the wonderful effects that you have also shown in your tutorial.

Thanks again!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I was going to, but since this is example is mainly aimed at unregistered users, I couldn't make it fade away really. I guess I could use an alarm though. And yes it is a bit like your example but I had not even seen it before I made this example.

I'm glad you liked it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That's great Astrosapien! But if you have little knowledge of GM, and decide to start making an RPG, it is going to be hard. Seriously, I tried to make an RTS as soon as I got GM but it was a complete failure. After a year, it seems that I have now learnt enough, so now I know how to make one. But I haven't even tried an RPG before. So yeah, good luck with your RPG.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thank you Chibi Neko. I'm glad to see many new GM users learn from my tutorial. It really encourages me to make more because of all the nice feedback.

[IcyWyvern]

WOAH! This is one of the BEST tutorials ever! Its basicly almost perfect, but maybe you could add in an example of a boss?

Wait... if you add in a boss, it'll basicly be a game, not a tutorial.

I managed to add in a raygun by editing the player and adding a raygun bullet in the sprites. Its simple to edit, which is really good for GM learners. Great job!

[Rtyp06]

Excellent example. Unfortunately it's limited to static sprites due to placing the health bar in the draw event of the enemy object.

[11clock]

Umm... Was it supposed to grow longer when the max hp is bigger?
