Health Point Bar for multiple monsters

I used this for a boss and got it to work, but I eventually want to have it work for multiple monsters with the same TID. Is this possible? How would I do this?
I changed multiple monsters to have the same TID for this, but it only counted one of the monsters' health.

I've reworked the demo so that you can pass the TID of the monster you wish to have a health bar displayed. All you need to do is call a script:

Code: Select all

script 1 (void)
{
	ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult("DrawMonsterHPBar", 666); // ... or whatever the actual TID is.
}

You can also set the position of the bar with the second and third args if you feel like to.

Oh man, thank you! This is perfect! I wasn't expecting help so quickly, too.

EDIT: Ok what the hell, It worked when I tested it the first time just fine. The bar went down when I shot any of the tagged monsters, but now it won't? This is ridiculous, I didn't change anything in the script, it should just keep working. Ugh.

EDIT2: So I changed the script to this:

Code: Select all

script 12 (void)
{
	Thing_Spawn (83, 29129, 270, 667);
	delay (16); 
	ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult("DrawMonsterHPBar", 667);
	Thing_Spawn (84, 29129, 270, 668);
	delay (16); 
	ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult("DrawMonsterHPBar", 668); 
	
}

and that makes 2 different HP bars, I assume this was the initial idea. Glad I got something to work for once.
