Hearts

[Link34543]

How would I go about replacing my portrait with hp and mana with hearts (like from Zelda games :P.) I kinda want each heart to represent 100 hp...and it would be awesome to have half-hearts and no hearts too...anyways is this even possible? Thanks

hey that is a great idea, I definatly think its possible, you would probably have to create a bunch of heart frames , and hide/show them depending on how much hp you have

if UnitHealth("player") / UnitHealthMax("player) == .5 then 
    for i = 1,5 do
        getglobal("HeartFrame"..i):Show();
    end
end

etc.

this is the best idea for a UI mod ever!!! can some1 please make this mod? :P i can't write .lua ... maybe 25 health per 1/4th of a heart is too little though... a 70 warrrior would need 100 hearts then xD but the idea is rly cool!

[robthedude]

perhaps the amount of health per heart could scale with level, or be manually adjustable

this would be great

What I was thinking was to have a bar texture of hearts and use that for health bars in ag_UF or something... You wouldn't get one heart per 100 health or whatever, and they wouldn't be able to overflow into rows, but I think that might be the easiest solution...

i feel special for thinking of this ^_^...only problem is i have no idea how to do this...im a noob to computers :P

[thijsdaniels89]

we have to find someone who can and wants to program this in lua! the sprites for the hearts and magic bar aren't a problem, just cut em from a screenshot of OoT (i have actually done that yesterday (except for quarter hearts), see attachment for the image)

[Link34543]

Oh ok, well if anyone wants to do this then PLEASE do it!

try that, the DL info is near the bottom

[thijsdaniels89]

wow that is reeeally cool riraito

[thijsdaniels89]

could u tell me how to change the background so that the black area around the grey hearts and magic bar will be transparant? I couldn't make the black area transparent in photoshop because targa doesn't support layers :/

[darko265]

you could select how much each heart represents in an options menu then u could customize the amount to ur will so u could have 1 heart representing 645 health (you obviously wouldn't want that tho lol)

[Link34543]

Dude! that is great! Thanks!

targa doesnt support layers, but it does support an alpha channel, which controls how transparent something is

you could also just type ingame /script ZeldaHeartsFrameBackground:SetAlpha(0);

[Link34543]

The script works great, only problem is I had the hearts and magic bar over my portrait, now that it's transparent I can see my protrait any way to fix this?

[thijsdaniels89]

okay ill use alpha blending then

@ Link: you can use the MoveAnything! Add On to hide or move your portrait (and lots of other stuff)
