Tshirtbooth Health bar project question - Change colour?

Zombiebrains

Hi folks

I have successfully added the good old health bar from this video and copied his example and make the colour green and it works a treat!

My question is...

Is there a way to change the colour to different colours at different value as the health bar drops.

I would like it so that it starts purple (Easy -Set on the actor as purple) but as it drops 20 units the colour changes to a different colour.

How could I do this...any clues. Been trying for a few hours now and no joy

Thanks

when attribute health is 20 change self color ...

I'm trying to get the colour to change when the value of the health bar is less than 40...so

what i've do is a rule

attribute - game.health <40

change attribute -game.health / to self.colour.red

nothing happens when I do this, the bar still shows green when it drops below 40...

Any clues?

no, change the actor self.color to whatever

Zombiebrains

Sorry Calvin, not sure where I do that?

Hey there,

First off you need to change the self color attributes. Next ,Gamesalad uses rgb color. Which means if you want to change the color, mostly all the time youll have to change all the color attributes, since its a mix of red, green, and blue. So in your case this is what you want to do:

Go into the actual health bar actor. Make a rule when attribute game.health is < 40
then put a change attribute behavior. Where u select the attribute in the drop down at the bottom youll see the name of the actor your in, thats where u get self attributes. So click that then go to color, red and change it to 1.

Next have another change attribute behavior and change attribute self color blue to 0

then finally have another change attribute behavior and change attribute self color green to 0

Thanks John, that's superb!

There is a template somewhere that expresses this very well. I'll see if i can't find it and email it to you.

Zombiebrains

Thanks Braydon, that would be superb

Cheers mate.

John, could you tell me how the last bit would look...

is it self.color.red=1 or self.color.red.1 asi can't get it to work?

JohnPapiomitis

change attribute self color red, then put a 1 in the 2nd box where u put the value

Zombiebrains

ok, i've done that but now when I preview the whole bar turns from green to red?

What I have is an attribute where the health bar is set at 10, just like in the tshirtbooth video. I've basically copied all the same stuff but changing the 'attribute' of game.health <40 doesn't seem to change anything?>

Any idea John?

Zombiebrains

Can I send you a screenshot of what I have and maybe you can see where I've gone wrong?

JohnPapiomitis

yeah post a screenshot

Zombiebrains

Sorry, how do I do that? sorry complete newbie dumb head! lol
