VTS-Enemy HP Bars (With Boss Bars!)

[Ulises 0]

Sorry, me stupid, here is

 

def draw_actor_hp(actor, x, y, width = 124)

draw_gauge(x, y, width, actor.hp_rate, hp_gauge_color1, hp_gauge_color2)

change_color(system_color)

draw_text(x, y, 30, line_height, Vocab::hp_a)

draw_current_and_max_values(x, y, width, actor.hp, actor.mhp,

hp_color(actor), normal_color)

end

Thanks Helladen, I'll fix that once I add in the thing Ulises wants

[Ventwig 26]

Script was edited with the 3 options!

There is a new number-functioned variable that lets you set it to either:

Draw the bar, word hp and both numbers

Draw the bar, word hp and current hp

Draw the bar and the word hp (looks weird without the word...)

 

There are probably bugs...ill update the main post though.

Can someone test that out, please?

Hey, nice script man! This is exactly what I needed for my project!

 

1) I found one problem/bug: here's a screenshot of it

What's taht arrow there? It's surely from the windowskin

it stays there for the whole duration of the battle

Is there a way to remove/fix it?

 

2) I have a suggestion for a feature to add

You should add a way to change DRAW_HP_NUMBERS in-game with a script call, that would be cool for example if you normally show enemies hp values in the game but in a boss fight (with only the boss in the troop) you don't want to show the boss' life amount.

[RaiMaker 4]

Hey, is there a way to make that some enemies don't have a Hud? If there isn't, do you plan on adding it on a future version?

[nameokh 0]

Hello, I really like your script.

if no other scripts I have or something, but when there are less than five enemies in battle, appears under the cursor bar tip, the arrow down as if indicating that more text on health bars of enemies .

and stays there throughout the Batlla.

 

someone else would that happen?

[Coolie 148]

This script is cool, but I must make a few suggestions.

 

1) Don't have the script alter Window_BattleLog. At all. Simply allow the user to change the coordinates of where the HP bars will show on the screen.

2) Allow users to show HP, MP, or TP.

3) Allow users to exclude enemies via note tags so those enemies will never show HP, MP, or TP bars.

 

With those features, I'd definitely use it.

[Ventwig 26]

Thansk for all the comments everyone!

The sad thing is that i made this using the free trial and now have no means of editing it myself =/

 

Let me cover some suggestions/etc though:

For the arrow thing, i did notice that, and i, sadly, have no idea how to remove it XD

 

"change DRAW_HP_NUMBERS in-game with a script call"

I think you can do that without editing code, i dunno really XD

all my scripting was done with trial and error and winging it

 

With MP/TP, that was a planned update thing.

 

Exclusion via notetags, no idea how to use them XD

[Nate The Great 10]

That is a shame! I hope you find some means to continue your work! Is there any way you know of to make it only work for bosses,.. and not normal creatures? I love the idea of the Boss battle HP bar... but prefer to not clutter the screen when there is multiple creatures...

Any thoughts?

[Ventwig 26]

As of now, no.

But i do have ideas on how to do that...if only the lite version had script suppourt!

[Ventwig 26]

Updated as I have just recently bought the full version of RMVXA!

All the new features you guys have wanted! (Well, not all...)

 

Two things that are still needed:

1.Changing hp drawing method in a script call

2.Removing that annoying arrow -.-

 

For 1, i think i'll just change that into an in-game variable that the creator can switch, so, as you guys said, numbers can be shown normally but hidden for bosses! That will get done eventually.

 

For 2...help!

[aeonhunter 7]

I think this script would receive more popularity if you changed it so the HP bars appeared above the respective enemy

instead of a huge wall of text and numbers (somewhat of an eyesore...).

 

No offense, of course. I still appreciate your work.

[Ventwig 26]

Yeah, i know. I agree.

But soooooooooo much work XD

 

I'm still so newb at scripting XD

But it does change in to way less of a wall if you use the default option, disabling the numbers and word "HP"

 

I saw one thats like that, though.

You mind changing your original post to Levi Stepp, from ItsKouta since I changed my name? :3

 

Version 1.3 (Apr 12, 2012) - Fixed a horrible boss HP bug! Thanks ItsKouta Levi Stepp

[Ventwig 26]

Okay Levi Stepp.

Got it done.

 

And new update!

Like people wanted, NO MORE UGLY ARROW!

 

Annnnnnnd......HOVERING BARS! <---im really happy about this.

It was actually really easy to do both! there were actually variables (or attr_blah-s) for those, whatever that means.

 

 

Any suggestions for future updates?

I'm thinking being able to change the drawing type mid-game, and a "scan" ability which will reveal hp/mp info slowly

 

Both are probably really difficult though

Updated to work with my "VTS-Nova Battle Display" system!

 

Any suggestions anyone? I need something to do! The requests in this forum are too advanced for me...

Hey there.

 

I would like to first say how awesome this script looks. PURE awesome.

 

I am, however, getting an error upon entering a battle:

 

"Script 'Enemy HP Bars' line 297: NameError occurred.

 

undefined local variable or method 'neo_guage_back_color' for

#<Window_Enemy_Hud:0xbf35998>"

 

Know what's up there?

[Ventwig 26]

Yeah, that just means you dont have "Neo Gauge Ultimate Ace" when, in the configuration, you said you do.

 

It's on line 77

 

  NEO_ULTIMATE_ACE

 

make it false

 

It looks pretty ugly without it, though, i recommend just getting the script. It's in the OP.

 

And thanks

[Capnmaf 0]

Oh wow. Sorry about that, I missed the Neo Gauge bit. Works now.

 

Thanks!!

[ninryu 0]

I have a broblem with the Script. When I put it I get this messege:

[Ventwig 26]

hmmm....maybe its colliding with another script?

Or one thing you need to make sure is the neo gauge ultimate setting (in the config) is set properly if you do or do not have it!

[joeyhugg 5]

When I test, i get the same error as Capnmaf, but when I set it to false, it still doesn't work. Tried getting rid of all of my scripts, and it STILL doesn't work. Then I tried installing the stupid Neo Gauge thing and it STILL doesn't work. It's broken my game. Help!

 

 

Edit: I found another script. Thanks anyway! I'm sure it was difficult to make this, and I appreciate the work!

hmmm...sorry. I'm not sure what that problem is. 

But im happy you found another way to do it

[Ventwig 26]

Update! For everyone who wanted it: NOTETAGS ARE NOW PART OF THE SCRIPT!

Plus a reverse mp feature.

 

Please report any bugs

I have a problem with the Boss Gauge. I keep getting this error whenever I add one.
