Hard Challenge

[bright panther]

i think if you slice that health system enough it would be a health bar??? idk

[subtle iris]

Not a bad idea tbh

[raw heron]

i think the challange was worded a bit badly, the original intention was to make an HP system where you dont have the movement of the bar seperate from the updating of the bar. The main benifit behind it would be that you could update damage numbers mid-game, and do things like a 50% damage reduction easily

the challange shouldve been "make an HP system where you can change the amount of damage taken from a source to any value"
i take the L on this one, i also worded it bad in the suggestions
oh well, new challange i guess

[subtle iris]

I think you can add a video for this

[raw heron]

something like this, now this is my combat engine, its not gonna look like that if you make it in 2 days but this gives the general idea. I hope?

basically data driven design or whatever that means

[mild pawn]

wow

[subtle iris]

Oh, a continuous hp bar. Most submissions (if not all) I’ve seen for this challenge use a Minecraft style of hp bar

[raw heron]

yeah because thats what the challange states
their designs are correct according to the challange

[subtle iris]

No move triggers, well this will be tough

[raw heron]

mine would be a fail

[bright panther]

yeah

[timber gull]

this is like i sorta get it but i also sort of dont

[bright panther]

its like failed successfully lol

[subtle iris]

I was referring to the ref video

[timber gull]

is it pretty much just make an hp system where you can just plop a damage source and everthing does it for you?

[bright panther]

yeah ik

[subtle iris]

You can say so

[raw heron]

That was the original idea, now the challange is more just make an hp system with bar without any move triggers

[timber gull]

okay thats not too bad actually

[subtle iris]

I assume you make the hp bar using gradient but then how to change it without move trigger

[timber gull]

cant you technically also use scale/keyframes

[raw heron]

like i said i worded the original idea suggestion badly.
i wanted to ensure you dont just put move trigger + number change. That is what i did in my earlier projects to do damage and it sucked. Any sort of damage change would need a new class to move bar and damage seperately.
it could be split into 2 ideas

1. Make an HP system where you can set any damage value and have it accurately reflect the HP bar's scale

2. Make an HP system with bar without any move triggers

[subtle iris]

This could work

[subtle iris]

Alright

[subtle iris]

Mod can update the challenge to this one

[raw heron]

poor znco, using their challange suggestion as a discussion board
