How to display HP gauge on the field

[Kazuki Takamura 0]

I was wondering if anyone knew of any scripts or eventing mothods to display a character's HP on the field. I tried the HP & SP Bars on Map but, I needed an SDK then I couldn't get that to work. All the other things I looked at for displaying HP on the field is for VX or VX Ace. If anyone can help me with my dilemma, I would gladly appreciate it.

... is this for ace or XP im confused? you posted in the XP area but it shows you use Ace ... either way ill assume this is for XP.

you could try this one http://rpgmaker.net/scripts/245/

Since you've said you use VX Ace and your post mentions VX and Ace, I'm goint to assume you meant to put the topic in the VX Ace section. If that's the case, I'll move it there, but I'll wait for you to confirm that first.

I am currently using XP, I just don't know how to change that on this site.

Thanks for the suggestion however, I wanted the HP to display while you are outside of battle.

Hi if you're still looking, I sponged this knowledge off off someone a while ago, for SP. Did a little bit of  diggin, & found the relevant bits and edited to HP for you, hope it's srill of use.

 

In the default script Scene_Map Below line 15 (@message_window = Window_Message.new) add

@Health_window = Window_Health.new

 

Then above NEW line 25 (Input.update) add:

@Health_window.update

 

Then create a whole new script above Main.

class Window_Health < Window_Base
#######
  def initialize
    super(55, 0, 229, 64)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    self.opacity = 5
    @actor = $game_party.actors[0]
    refresh
  end
  # * Refresh #----------------------------------------------------
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    @last_displayed_actor_hp = @actor.hp
    @last_displayed_actor_maxhp = @actor.maxhp
    draw_actor_hp(@actor, -52, 0)
  end
  # * Frame Update #------------------------------------------------
  def update
    hp_changed = @last_displayed_actor_hp != @actor.hp
    maxhp_changed = @last_displayed_actor_maxhp != @actor.maxhp
    if hp_changed or maxhp_changed
      refresh
    end
  end
end

This should draw the HP numbers for you.

 

I also like Stephs Drawn HP/star bars, works well.

# If using with Limit Break, must paste BELOW the Limit Break script as it re-

# If used with Trickster's STEAL SCRIPT version 6 R1 (revision 1), then the
# height of RTAB's AT Bar (Draw Actor ATG) may not be smaller than 5 pixels
# due to a float-to-float error.  A height of 6 pixels is the smallest.
