#2 All right friend, then there are my images... thank you

#3 Good job, Rodgers!

#4 Thanks kevin

i want to ask something to you
did you see the life bar? i know i'm doing this in the wrong way

i placed the bar directly in my level builder and i am changing the width property, the problem is that i can't keep the bar aligned to the left frame, it shrink but to the center.

#5 You may want to look at this.

You may be able to solve your problem by using setSizeX instead of setWidth. Let me know if that works or not. On second thought, I don't think that will work, but it's worth a try, huh?

Honestly, I don't think it would matter how it shrinks, it's just a visual representation, but you should do what you think looks best.

For my health bars I used GuiCtrls and the setExtent function to shrink them. I think setExtent is a GuiCtrl only function, but heck, you want to give that a spin as well

#6 Thanks man, the setSizeX doesn't work for me, i got the same result

then i'm going to try the GuiCtrls way

thank you very much

#7 If you use TGB objects for the life bar then you need to make your own sizing function... something like this

function healthBar::setBarWidth(%this, %width)
{
   %posX = %this.getPositionX();

   %startWidth = %this.getWidth();

   %widthDiff = (%startWidth - %width) / 2;
   
   %this.setPositionX(%posX - %widthDiff);
   %this.setWidth(%width);
}

Just give your bar the healthBar class and use this function.

#8 Also, a neat way you can fake it, is to just make the graphic twice as wide as you need it, with the left half transparent nothingness. That way when it scales on the "center" of the x-axis, it will appear to just decrease from the right. It's a nice way in general for faking an offset axis on objects.
