Hi all,
I'm trying to get some bars on my skin to work with stats of a character. So you can see the condition of your stats in bar form on the skin. (If you get what I mean)
Anyone know how I would do this?
Much appreciated if you could give me an example. :)

I've got no idea how to specify the 'output' in essence.. Like to send it to the bar.
Say I've got a HP stat, and have made a bar on the skin for it. I just want to know how to code the bar to represent the characters HP stat. |

When linked to a reference entry, it is most useful to read this very entry. winset follows the interface of winset(player, control_id, params), where player is a mob or client, control_id is the unique ID of a control in the player's skin and params is a list of parameters to set, in the format returned by list2params().

Say your HP stat follows the bad, but often used habit of mob.HP and mob.MaxHP (it would likely be much smarter to write use a datum for encapsulation of stats in general). Since the bar value has to be between 0 and 100, we use a simple percentage value (mob.HP/mob.MaxHP). Now, if your bar is in a window called MyWindow and has the name HPBar, you'd send set it as winset(player, "MyWindow.HPBar", "value=[player.HP/player.MaxHP]"). |

Ugh, I've tried that but I bet I'm doing something wrong for sure.. Any chance I could send you what I have (I've been trying it out in a test environment)?
Really appreciate all the help btw. |

Sure, you copy and paste the code snippet and place it between a <dm> and a </dm> tag, which formates it in decent way.
E.g.: client As a side-note, it helps to describe the actual result you're seeing, when you're looking for a problem to be diagnosed. |

Sweet, thanks alot.. I just got it to work :O
Is there anything I should maybe change? or a more efficient way to code it? (I'm going to have about 4 bars apart from the HP one) mob |

That way, you're always going to be doing
hp-=10 A hint would just be to combine both. LoseHP(10,attacker) |

I'd give that argument a name other than "source", such as "attacker". The name is too easily conflated with src, which could cause great confusion.

If that's not what you had trouble with, please elaborate a bit more on where you ran into a barrier.
