Talking Hearts

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
Code:
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!

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...

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)

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 :/

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)

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);
