Custom Health Bar?

I've tweaked it HERE.

The reason for the massive CPU overhead was because:

a) It was creating thousands of slices needlessly, and

b) it was redrawing every slice when it didn't need to.

It still has a CPU jump when a change has been made, but then settles down.

Just compare both versions for changes.

There's probably a much better way of doing this, but let's call this the first iteration :)

Yeah, I can't really think of any ways too boost the performance without doing something fake like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4714446/HPBar_Fake.capx

Does anyone have the example from zenox98 above? The link is broken. :/

I found another example with a half circle or so above the hp bar and different blend modes a while ago but can't find it. I lost it when I had to reinstall my PC.

It's attached but I don't remember anything about it now :/

My memory isn't what it used to be

Thank you very much.

thanks for the help, that is very interesting

I know it's an old thread but I think it will be useful for someone else. I solved the FPS and CPU usage issue. It's not perfect but it's way better now. The solution was simple: instead of destroying and creating instance each time there is an HP change, I figured it was easier to turn visible/invisible the HP bar pieces. It's easily configurable so you guys can experiment with different values. Have fun!

Thanks to all of you for your work. Special thanks to zyblade, Jayjay and zenox98 (I sadly was not able to see/test others previous links).

Enjoy.
