Need help with ACS boss health

Post by Alterworldruler »

So i've been trying to create a working graphic boss health script, I got graphics in, I coded something to display his last 1/3 of health and it doesn't work. What could be the problem?

For referrence, the script is here:

Can you explain how this "boss health" setup is supposed to work? Since it would be easier for me to adjust your code then.

I simply want to draw 3 bars that represent boss's health. Each bar being 1/3 however each 1/3 is divided into ANOTHER 3 parts to show how close he is to depleting a bar (simply when 1/3 goes 0, it dissapears)
Imagine, 3600 health, 3 bars. 3200 health, 2 bars and 1 yellow bar. 2400 health, 2 green bars.
A0 is green, B0 is yellow, C0 is red.
Of course graphics are used that are not between the markers. The health of the boss (his health is 3600) should be checked every 20 tics as I want. Hopefully this gives you a better idea. Graphic bars are 64x32 in size.

Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with creating health bars that deplete, but you can check this thread. At the bottom of the post, you'll find a health bar script.

However, I made something, though it could benefit from more flexibility, perhaps you could use as a base to build your code on.
