Custom meter problem

[daylights]

Hi everyone !
I need to change meter style but I don't find a solution !
I want to make the meter graphic scrolling up and down. **By default it's right to left**
I try to change the direction in this part of script

Code:

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Draw HP
  #     actor : actor
  #     x     : draw spot x-coordinate
  #     y     : draw spot y-coordinate
  #     width : draw spot width
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  alias draw_actor_hp_bar draw_actor_hp
  def draw_actor_hp(actor, x, y, width = 144)
    bar_x = HP_Pos_Adjust[0] + x
    bar_y = HP_Pos_Adjust[1] + y + (Font.default_size * 2 /3)
    @skin = RPG::Cache.windowskin(HP_Meter)
    @width  = @skin.width
    @height = @skin.height / 3
    src_rect = Rect.new(0, 0, @width, @height)
    self.contents.blt(bar_x, bar_y, @skin, src_rect)    
    @line   = (actor.hp == actor.maxhp ? 2 : 1)
    @amount = actor.hp.to_f / actor.maxhp.to_f
    src_rect2 = Rect.new(0, @line * @height, @width * @amount, @height)
    self.contents.blt(bar_x, bar_y, @skin, src_rect2)
    draw_actor_hp_bar(actor, x, y, width)
  end

Could you post the whole script? I'll take a look at it.

Thank you to take a look ^^ !

Did I get it right?




You want it like the custom one?

[daylights]

Yes this is exactly what I want :D !

[Ace]

I don't know for sure how to change it. First I would turn the graphic file vertical. Otherwise I don't really have a clue, it has been a long time since I used RMXP.
Maybe someone else can help you more.

[DerVVulfman]

As he said, change the windowskin graphic you are using for your HP_BAR vertical... a simple rotate 90* in any paint program should work.... BUT... an edit to the HP script was needed.

Code:

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Draw HP
  #     actor : actor
  #     x     : draw spot x-coordinate
  #     y     : draw spot y-coordinate
  #     width : draw spot width
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  alias draw_actor_hp_bar draw_actor_hp
  def draw_actor_hp(actor, x, y, width = 144)
    # Set Bar Position
    bar_x = HP_Pos_Adjust[0] + x
    bar_y = HP_Pos_Adjust[1] + y + (Font.default_size * 2 /3)
    # Acquire bar image and dimensions
    bar_img = RPG::Cache.windowskin(HP_Meter)
    bar_width  = bar_img.width
    bar_height = bar_img.height / 3
    # Define source rectangle for bar
    src_rect = Rect.new(0, 0, bar_width, bar_height)
    self.contents.blt(bar_x, bar_y, bar_img, src_rect)    
    # Determine which line used in bar image
    bar_line   = (actor.hp == actor.maxhp ? 2 : 1)
    # Calculate value to adjust drawn line
    bar_amount = actor.hp.to_f / actor.maxhp.to_f
    # Adjust dimensions of destination rectangle
    src_rect2 = Rect.new(bar_line * bar_width, 0, bar_width, bar_height * bar_amount)
    # Draw the bar with the new rectangle area
    self.contents.blt(bar_x, bar_y, bar_img, src_rect2)
    # Perform the original call
    draw_actor_hp_bar(actor, x, y, width)
  end

I just edited the original code you provided from Atoa's script, inverted 'both' the width/height and the x/y positions in the destination rectangle system, and added a bunch of comments to describe.

Still... he didn't need to make the values anything but instant values (the '@' weren't necessary if they were for use in just that method). The mem resources are saved just a little and are cleared once they leave the method.

This is untested as I just cobbled this bit together while at work. I have no RMXP editor in front of me.

Thank you for your held !
I don't know why DerVV but the background of the bar meter appear but not the gauge bar :S !
The HP bar graphic is divise by 3 ( background bar meter, load bar meter color, bar meter color when hp is low)

[DerVVulfman]

Just for giggles, see what happens if you use this:

Code:

src_rect2 = Rect.new(0, 0, bar_width, bar_height * bar_amount)

... Still at work.

[daylights]

Same problem :S The bar don't appear only the background !
