Re: Lifebar Situation

[Warrior]

Hi guys,

Its me again (unfortunately) I'm figuring out how to make lifebars, but I can't seem to attain this affect.



See those little buttons? Yeah, I have sprites for them, but I don't know where to put them in in-place of the other sprites that the default MUGEN has. There's a V, and a snake or something...I'm really, really, confused. The buttons I want to put in need to be there constantly, as in, all throughout the fight, and one of the buttons light up if that player happens to win that match, and the second lights up if the player wins again. So any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Turbanator

I know I'm bumping my own topic, but I really need help with this....

Hey what's up TurbanatorX. Those buttons are the win icons, you can put a sprite or an animation in there.

Below is an example of the "WinIcon" definiton for hires lifebars. Since I used the same animation for all the "win icons" my anim is the same and my bars are "hires", so I used a scale of .5 on both X and Y, but you can set it to 1,1 for normal resolution and change ".anim" for ".spr" to place one imaged icons.The sprites go into the fight.sff, and you can find the code lines in the fight.def.

Here's what they are, and their definitions:

=====================================================================
;Icon

[WinIcon]
p1.pos = 89,16
p2.pos = 148,16

p2.counter.offset = -2,-8

;------------------------ Win by normal. The letter "n" respresents a "normal win"

p1.n.scale = .5,.5
p1.n.layerno = 0

p2.n.scale = .5,.5
p2.n.layerno = 0
;------------------------ Win by special . The letter "s" respresents a "special win"
p1.s.anim = 600
p1.s.scale = .5,.5
p1.s.layerno = 0
p2.s.anim = 600
p2.s.scale = .5,.5
p2.s.layerno = 0
;------------------------ Win by hyper. The letter "h" respresents a "hyper win", etc..
p1.h.anim = 600

p2.h.anim = 600
p2.h.scale = .5,.5

;------------------------ Opponent pounded by his own teammate
p1.teammate.anim = 600

p1.perfect.scale = .5,.5
p1.perfect.layerno = 0
p2.perfect.anim = 600
p2.perfect.scale = .5,.5

;------------------------ Use icons up until this number of wins

Oooh, so all of them just become the same sprites? But, before I try this, does another sprite stay in its place before there is a win? I'm just making sure.

Thank you so much dragonesku,

To your first question, yes. I did used the same animation for all the "WinIcons", but you can use different ones if you chose to.

But, before I try this, does another sprite stay in its place before there is a win? I'm just making sure.

You mean like a "icon holder?"

If you did, here's what you can do; you can place an extra sprite as one extra bg layer under Player 1's [lifebar], [Simul Lifebar] and [Turns Lifebar], in the example below I added it as "p1.bg1.anim = 500". You're only going to need this anim/sprite under player 1 because it's going to be easier to center one sprite for both "WinIcons" animation/sprite instead of doing one for each player, that way both players can share the same still image.


Here's an example of what I'm talking about. Below, the "extra sprite" lines (the icon holder) are marked in red. Notice that ".bg1"  is only added to player1. That's because it doesn't really matter to which player you add them to, since that image (icon holder) is ggoing to be static throughout the rounds and will only serve as the icon's background.

[lifebar]
;Player 1
p1.pos = 89,16
p1.bg0.scale = 1,1
p1.bg0.anim = 212
p1.bg0.layerno = 0
p1.bg1.anim = 500  ;---------icon holder animation or sprite (use .spr)
p1.bg1.scale = 1,1                 ;---------animation or sprite scale           
p1.bg1.layerno = 0      ;---------use "layer = 0" so it will appear behind the icons
p1.mid.anim = 300
p1.mid.scale = 1,1
p1.front.anim = 122
p1.front.layerno = 0
p1.front.scale   = 1,1
p1.range.x  = 59,-61

;Player 2
p2.pos = 230,16
p2.bg0.anim = 2
p2.bg0.scale  = 1,1
p2.bg0.layerno = 0
p2.mid.anim = 132
p2.mid.scale  = 1,1
p2.front.anim = 1
p2.front.layerno = 0
p2.front.scale   = 1,1
p2.range.x = -59,61


Do the same under ;player 1 for [Simul Lifebar] and [Turns Lifebar].

Hope it helps.
