Why not just use Link->HP?

Each heart is worth 32 HP. So for each HC you get, you'll have (x) hp + 32. And you can make custom life bar graphics to look like a meter, instead of hearts.

He wants a numerical counter. That is impossible without a little scripting.

TMP, LINE 4: ERROR S09: VARIABLE CR_SCRIPT1 IS UNDECLARED

-- PRESS A KEY --

[Master Maniac]

O_o Why numerical?

In that case, you should make some minitiles. Basically, take 10 tiles, for the numbers 0-9. Make the numbers in the top left corner of each tile, no more than 8 pixels wide each. I may be able to fix up something for you as far as a counter script goes using it.

Tbh, it won't be too hard, and won't take a custom subscreen.

It's a quest based on an RPG with a numerical heath meter

I would just rather do it this way (besides I need to learn how to use scripts theres a whole bunch I want to try out but couldn't figure out how)

[MoscowModder]

Got it! I just changed the name "script1" to its value (7).

Use this code:

CODE

global script slot_2{
void run(){
  while(true){
    Game->Counter[7] = Link->HP;
    Waitframe();
        }
    }
}

And set it to the slot called "Active". Enjoy!
(And yes, I tested it myself this time)

What about drawtiles? It won't display anything as it is, though you have the functional part somewhat down.

Though you wouldn't need to set Game->Counter[7]. If it's not going to have anything done to it mathematically, then I see no reason to assign it to a variable.

When I figure out how to work digits, I'll post up something.

No need for drawtiles. It's changing a counter, so the counter on the subscreen will change automatically.

[Master Maniac]

Ahh yeah, that's right. Forgot about that being on subscreens now. XD

But, I think Ima make my script anyway. That way I can post it to contain HP for multiple characters on the screen XD

[Smiles the Death Bringer]

I ran in to another problem how do I make the counter and have it show up on the passive subscreen

[MoscowModder]

Go to Quest -> Misc Data -> Subscreens -> Your Passive Subscreen -> Edit -> New -> Counter.
Set item 1 to Script 1, ignore the other 2. Set digits to however many digits you will need (3 or 4?), set the other properties to whatever you want. This will produce an undecorated counter.

From there you can add a text description, tack it on to the end of your heart meter, put it next to a minitile/tile block, whatever.

[Smiles the Death Bringer]

Done (forgot to put the script on active)

And how the hell do you spell apreciate

[MoscowModder]

Appreciate?

You're welcome :}

[Smiles the Death Bringer]

Wow I overlooked something..sorry but could you make the same thing but with MP?
