Yup, I finally decided to not become lazy and make this. Anyway, this is a complete rewrite of my heart and rupee engines. I kind of needed to, as I lost them. Anyway, this engine should be MUCH easier to understand, and offers more functionality. Currently, this includes a heart and rupee engine.

GM Versions: Gm5.3, Gm6+ (reg or unreg, doesn't matter)

Download Link (1.0.1) (Mirror)
Changelog

Older Versions:
1.0

No credit required, although it would be nice.

Please post bugs if you find any!

Make sure you use view_xview[0] and view_yview[0] (for GM6) or view_left[0] and view_top[0] (gm5.3) to position it correctly in the view.

Yeah, I didn't put it in as it was rather useless, since the room didn't need a view.

Ok, I will put it in the view the next version.

Also, just a note to add, a quater of a heart is .25, not 1 like in the old version. So, if you have 3 hearts, the heart variable would be 3, not 12.

Although there is really no point (just imagine, the ALTTP hud without - LIFE -, magic meter, and item. And a purple background), I'll get one up tomarrow.

Good stuff Yoshi!

I think some of the demo keys on the .gmd version are reversed, but it's no big deal. :D

'Noticed you have some scripts reserved to change the heart/rupee values slowly. I have a suggestion for those: make a secondary variable for the amounts. The actual amounts should change instantly. Example: If you're down to half a heart, then touch a fairy which slowly increases your hearts gives you 10 hearts, then touch an enemy before you have refilled enough hearts to withstand it, you would still die even though you shouldn't.

So while the actual amounts should change instantly, the secondary variable checks if it's lower or higher than the actual amounts, and slowly changes itself by the step. Then, the HUD should draw according to this amount, so it looks like the hearts or rupees are slowly changing (even though they are instant).

If you already had that figured out, or didn't want my advice, sorry to have stepped on your toes. ;)

Oopsie, I gotta change the keys for v1.1.

And the slow scritps, that is what I was planning :P That's also why I have and recommend that you use scr_hearts to get the num of hearts, and scr_rupees to get the num of rupees.

Ok, I'll just make a v1.0.1 with the view thingy, and the keys fixed. I'll get to it soon.

Lol sorry if this is grave-digging but I think this is a great engine, but there is one problem, since the heart object has to be in every room, it sets your lives to full all the time (every time you go into a new room)  I tried putting it all in the game start event but then it didn't even show up.

That was a minor problem with my own heart engines.. I can think of 3 ways that might work to fix it.

1. Before defining those variables, use variable_global_exists() to check if they already exist, then only define them if they don't.

2. Move the variables to another object or event to make sure they're defined before the HUD appears.

3. Make the HUD object persistent, so you won't have to recreate it in every room. In rooms where it shouldn't appear, just make it invisible.

Easiest way would be probably to make the heart object persistent, and put this in the Room End:

Code: [Select]
persistent = true;(That's just a safe guard pretty much)

Or you can follow one of the things Goodnight said.

Ok, I just started work on version 1.1.0. This one will include the slow increase for hearts & rupees, and a text engine that doesn't freeze the game (but will have to be dumbed down for the gm5.3 and gm6 non reg versions), and some other fixes.
