Hp bar as hearts?

[Necromancer]

I was wondering if it would be possible to use hearts as health? Like one big heart with filled with pink and the pink goes down as you run out of health. Or a healthbar where there is 10 hearts lined up next to eachother and the hp bar goes down by half a bar each time. If anyone has an idea on how to do that thanks!

If you want something explained better just ask, I know I am not the best person for explaining things.

yeah it is possible, look at blthealthbar i think, just do a loop and move the y + 10 every time then blt a heart :)

make a line of empty and a line of full hearts.
Make the line of full hearts be above the line of empty ones, just make it go down if you lose hp.
And if you want it to go down a heart/half a heart each time you could round the values.

If you want, do it like this:
1) Make imgHeart(0)… all the way to like imgHeart(19)
2) Make the player's actual health into very small variables (such as [3*4] (3 means the total hearts and 4 means the 1/4 part of heart taken out per 1 dmg) HP total at Lv.1 and 20 total at Lv.[Max])
3) Make a check in the modHandleData.bas (where it determines the shpHP.width via packets received) of the player's exact HP and make that determine how much out of (x/4) (current total hp/total hp) (x being the player's current HP).

Here's an example:
If GetPlayerHP(MyIndex) < 5 Then
frmMirage.imgHeart(0).Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\GUI\CUSTOM\" & GetPlayerHP(MyIndex) & "_4heart.bmp") '4_4heart.bmp is the name of your complete heart container with 4/4 total, 3_4heart.bmp would be the 3/4 total…
ElseIf GetPlayerHP(MyIndex) < 9 And GetPlayerHP(MyIndex) > 4 Then
frmMirage.imgHeart(0).Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\GUI\CUSTOM\4_4heart.bmp")
frmMirage.imgHeart(1).Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\GUI\CUSTOM\" & (GetPlayerHP(MyIndex) - 4) & "_4heart.bmp")
ElseIf GetPlayerHP(MyIndex) ... and you would continue for how much you want to set your maxhp to in-game
