Health Bar That Gets Smaller From 1 Side Only?

FallingBoxStudios

Hi, I'm create a health bar, but when I try to make it smaller, it shrinks from both sides, I want it to shrink from 1 side only. Also how do I make it so that if your health grows (if you get a power) it grows from the 1 side it shrinks from. how do I do this? Thanks

Something like this? Click the red bar and ignore the blue box.

How come? Is there an error message?

constrain self.position.X to 10(where to start)+(self.size.width/2)
if his health gets less change width to width-20 and when he gets more health change width to width+20.
havent tried but should work. I will make a little template

@CharlieG97 Yep

@Timolapre Thanks, it seems a bit complex, a template would be great

Ahh im running windows! I'm sure timo's works fine but just in case, what I did was:
Had the actor for the health bar.
Had a Rule:
when touch is pressed (just for example)
Do:
Change Attribute: self.size.width -----> self.size.width-20
Change Attribute: self.position.x -----> self.positon.x-10

Hope this helps

Change Attribute: self.size.width -----> self.size.width-20
Change Attribute: self.position.x -----> self.positon.x-10

Hope this helps

thats almost the same you change the position to the half of the width you change. do its easier to constrain self.position.X to (self.size.width/2)+(the Xposition you want it to start, something like 10)

There is a video on this topic over at gshelper.

I didn't think I'd do it the most efficient way. It's 1am here so I thought I'd just give it a go! :P Yes your way sounds simpler.

@Timolapre Thanks for the template but the template is a little hard to optimise for what my game needs it for

@SlickZero Thanks but for some reason it wont work Heres my code:

This has probably to do with your other thread where your asking for someone you can trust but maybe you can send the file so I can look at it? Or you can add me on skype for help (thats easier) PM me if interested

@timolapre1998 Thanks I appreciate it
Btw: this is about 8% got too do with my other post the other post is kinda a template request (as in I'm looking to hire someone too create a small template in which I can get started on) let me get the file ready, then I will just PM the download link to you (its a mac file)

Here's a better one with one two points. If you collide with one, the bar grows, if you collide with the other, the bar shrinks.
