shield bar

[xintell]

is it possible to make a hp bar of shield skill? for example abaddon's aphotic shield but you can see a shield bar I need this for my map so that players will know if they can still fight knowing how much shield they have.

my ideas for this one is to use the avatar bar as shield hp bar like the image below well of course the one written on it should be shield :P

There's an old system here. I think it'll be quite out of date and might not even compile/run anymore. But you should be able to get a general idea for how you might do it anyway.

this is great ^^ thanks a lot

edit: not working though :(

Yeah, that resource is rather old, even if it were still working I'd recommend using a more up-to-date approach.

For damage prevention code, I'd use DamageModifiers, a general and robust engine that can also do other damage modification in your map, not just specific shields like that old system.

You'd then need another library that handles floating text bars for displaying the shield life. I did a quick search and found the TTBars library which seems to do exactly that.

I see :) well I still think I can learn on that old one but I will use damage modifiers as well since it is awesome and for that TTbars :D that's epic thanks a lot
