How do I make a fuel slot with numbers ?

Hi guys, how can I make this:

If my spaceship flies arround it looses fuel. The fuel should be a text : 100 fuel is 0 empty.

How can I make that after a certain distance in pixels it looses 1% ecc... and this should of course change the number slot.

Is there somwere a capx file arround.?

thanks guys

There are few ways to do this. But here is what I would do.

Let’s take a variable called FuelStatus which will represent the percentage of fuel in the spaceship. 100% means FuelStatus= 1.00 and 0% means FuelStatus = 0.00. All the other values are in between 0.99 and 0.01.

Now we can multiply FuelStatus with height or width of a sprite to scale it to a percentage of its own size.

E.g

FuelMeter.Width * FuelStatus

This will create a progress bar

FuelMeter.Height * FuelStatus

This will be like a bar rising or shrinking in height.

But we have to do it every time FuelStatus is changed to keep everything uptodate.

hi thanks 4 he reply.. iam so sorry, i did explain badly what i mean. what I need is still the full status, but the fuel is going to lower % if my ship travels a certain distance in pixels. How can I manage that ? is it possible get a capx sample ?

thanks again a lot

you could do it like so

thank u so much 4 the help can I make this with a not scrollable background and not trough timer.but trough pixel distance. Or maybe if pixeldistance is not possible...maybe trough the pressed time duration of the afterburner button (arrowa)?

mariogamer yes you can all you do is ship travel distance > 350 pix then fuel -1 and so on.depend on how you want to code it

here try this demo

thank U soo so so much

Most welcome
