healbar %

I have a health bar at 20 pixels width(max) and variable healthpoints of 100(max)

if i want it the healthpoints variable to take 25 off how would i translate that to represent the width of the healthbar?

First apply the damages to the health, then set the healthbar width to 20*( healthpoints/100)

Remember that if you use sprite for the health bar, with the given method this will scale the sprite.

If you want it to be shortened/lengthened then use Tiled background for it.

In Tiled background properties you can find "hotspot", this defines how the object width is changed, experiment with it to see how it works.

Thanks guys,

Aphrodite, your method worked but i work it out a different way b4 your reply which is:

set width to enemychuchugreen.health/5

since full bar is 20 pixels and health points is 100 the division is 5 therefore nomatter what value the healtpoints value is it sets the pixels width to that shared by 5
