Zelda Hearts System

Sure ; here it is : http://pastebin.com/xq6UzmYt

I haven't tested it in game though, I'm at work right now. Just tell me if there's a problem with it, I'll fix it tonight.

[AeghtyAteKees 11]

I can't seem to get it working... :/ I start the game (with the switch off) and nothing is displayed, then turn the switch on, and nothing appears.

[Grotaiche 9]

Indeed, that's probably because the bitmaps are loaded only in the constructor, my bad. Try to move the "if @switch" on line 68 right above the "draw_hearts" line. The images will then be loaded into the cache so that when you activate the switch, the refresh method should actually do things.

[AeghtyAteKees 11]

Erm...Still don't think that worked...I could have done it wrong though. You did mean to move line 68 to line 72, right?

Indeed, good call !

[AeghtyAteKees 11]

Everything works great! Thank you guys.

 

However, if you can find the time, I would very much appreciate if this could be somehow added to Yanfly's Ace Save Engine, to display a row of hearts to the right of the character (I only have one party member). If this is too complicated or time-consuming, don't worry about it. It's just an effect.

[Gambit. 84]

Add this script below the YEA Save Engine and the Zelda Hearts scripts.

    if @header.nil?
      draw_empty
    else
      draw_save_contents
    end
  end

    make_font_smaller
    dw = (contents.width - dx) / @header[:party].max_battle_members
    dx += dw/2
    for member in @header[:party].battle_members
      next if member.nil?
      member = @header[:actors][member.id]
      change_color(normal_color)
      draw_actor_graphic(member, dx, dy)
      text = member.name
      draw_text(dx-dw/2, dy, dw, line_height, text, 1)
      if member.id == 1
        @hearthud = ZeldaHearts.new(member.hp, member.mhp)
        @hearthud.x = self.x + standard_padding + dx-dw/2
        @hearthud.y = self.y + standard_padding + dy + line_height / 2
      end
      text = member.level.group
      draw_text(dx-dw/2, dy-line_height, dw-4, line_height, text, 2)
      cx = text_size(text).width
      change_color(system_color)
      text = Vocab::level_a
      draw_text(dx-dw/2, dy-line_height, dw-cx-4, line_height, text, 2)

Wow, you're a bit awesome.  

I did notice that the hearts fade in with the scene, but don't fade out with the scene. Is that something you could tweak?

[Gambit. 84]

That's what I get for quickly testing it without leave the scene . I've updated the script add-on in my previous post.

[AeghtyAteKees 11]

Thanks!

[Majora 1]

Boom! Saving the thread from the 30-day limit. 

 

So do I put the heart script under materials under "bigger" scripts (i.e. modules and more global-type effects) and that one hearts.png image in the folder and it's good? 

[Rhime 0]

How do I change the max amount of hearts? Like if I have 400 hp and i just want 4 hearts or something....

 

 

Sorry if my english words bad, Im still learning.

[+ DarthVollis 59]

It deals with math. Make each piece of heart 100. That may work.

[Rhime 0]

Great, thanks very much,

 

Is there a way to make a script so that the hearts are updated every second or few seconds, like, if my character is hurt not in battle the hearts stay the same

as if I am full health.

Can I change this so that if im damaged the hearts show my CURRENT health?

[+ DarthVollis 59]

It does. The hearts will empty out as you take damage. I am using a modified version of this script and every time I get hurt the hearts empty out.

[rabid.rivas 1]

I am using this script with Falcao Pearl ABS Liquid V3 that can be found here . My problem is that when enemies atack the hero hears dont do anything.

Other scripts I am using:

-:falcao interactive system lite V2

-ocarina of time script

Thats all could anyone help me please

[+ DarthVollis 59]

With the scripts the hearts will empty out when each 100 (or whatever you made it) is dealt in damage. If something deals damage below that amount then the hearts will not go down. 

[rabid.rivas 1]

I made it 12 hp every heart but enemies kill me and hearts don`t seem to change (it takes more than one hit to kill me)

Edited April 25, 2014 by rabid.rivas

[+ DarthVollis 59]

PM a demo and I will be happy to look at it because I am also using Falcao's Pearl and this script. My hearts do go down.

[rabid.rivas 1]

In the game I am making the hearts do go down but just each time I open the default menu of RPG makr Vx ace

[+ DarthVollis 59]

Like I said it would be easier for me to help if I could see the problem(s).

[rabid.rivas 1]

It doesnt work!   Enemies hit me but hears dont go down. Would any one please change Pyro17 script so it updates every time i get hurt out of battle?Please.

I am using this script with Falcao Pearl ABS Liquid V3 that can be found here .

Edited June 23, 2014 by rabid.rivas

[+ DarthVollis 59]

I am working on it. I have had a lot of issues in my life so time is hard right now. Give me a little time please.

[rabid.rivas 1]

Okay, Thank you a lot  ! I have try to solve this problem myself but I am not a scripter
