Pen Health Bars
My current extremely large and painful project requires a health bar. Damage in my game, which is a turn-based fighting type, is randomized and based on stats so i cannot use the costume sprite version (and that takes too long anyway), so I would like to use a health bar involving the pen, but need guidance on its use. I have a health variable, and a pokemon project on this site used the health bar i need and I am trying to figure out how to use it, so please help. Also, anything about saving features would help as well, and inventory advice. This is an RPG.

Re: Pen Health Bars
Try this script:
[blocks]
<forever>
<pen up>
<go to x 
Here )y There
<pen down>
<move( health )steps> [/blocks]If this makes a long bar, divide by 2.[blocks]
<pen up>
<end>
[/blocks]

Re: Pen Health Bars
i'm curious why you can't use a sprite and switch costumes - what makes you say it takes too long??

^^^^^
If you're not prepared to use methods that take a long time, you're never gonna be able to make a brilliant game.
