[Tutorial] Progress Bar Tutorial

[alistair3149]

This tutorial is originally wrote by kiwimoosical for MW2, but progress bar is working in BO as same as MW2, so I quoted his tutorial to here

Step 1: Declare your progress bar:

Code:

b = createPrimaryProgressBar( 45 ); //the number is the initial y position

Step 2: Create your progress bar's color:
First you need to get the RGB of your color and divide it by 255, then you put it where i say:

Code:

b.bar.color = (0,1,1); //Mine is cyan

Step 3: Fill the bar:

Code:

b updateBar(1); //1 is the highest it can go, updateBar is also used for changing the bar's filled level

Step 4: Reposition maybeh? Here:

Code:

b.bar.x = 100; // This is the main coord you want, find it first
b.x = 160; // Add 60 to the previous coord to get it so the bar and color align
b.bar.y = 10; // Find coord for y axis
b.y = 10; // Make this the same as the above choice

Step 5: Text pl0x:
Step 5a: Create the text element:

Code:

t = createPrimaryProgressBarText( 25 );

Step 5b: text reposition?

Code:

t.x = 160; // Same as b.x
t.y = 20; // Add 10 for below the bar and subtract 10 for above the bar (subtract from b.y)

Step 5c: Setting the text:

Code:

t setText("Test");

Step 6: Updating your progress bar:

Code:

b updateBar(.5); //Take the percent of the bar you want filled and divide it by 100 to get the percent

To Destroy the bar:

Code:

barName destroyElem();

Here is an example of Health Bar:

Code:

HealthBar()
{
        useBar = createPrimaryProgressBar( -250 );
        useBarText = createPrimaryProgressBarText( -250 );
        useBarText settext("Health");
    useBarText.y = 205;
    useBar.bar.y = 220;
    useBar.y = 220;

        for(;;)
        {
                usebar updateBar( self.health/100, 100 );
                if(self.health < 50 && self.health < 30 != true)
                {
                        usebar.color = (0,0,0);
                        usebar.bar.color = (0.9,1,0);
                        useBarText settext("^3Injuried");
                        usebar.alpha = 0.5;
                }
                else if(self.health < 30)
                {
                        usebar.color = (0,0,0);
                        usebar.bar.color = (1,0,0);
                        useBarText settext("^1Critical");
                        usebar.alpha = 1;
                }
                else if(self.health > 50)
                {
                        usebar.color = (0,0,0);
                        usebar.bar.color = (0,1,0);
                        useBarText settext("^2Normal");
                        usebar.alpha = 0.5;
                }
                wait 0.05;
        }
}

Here's another example, but it is an ammo bar (credit to 4fun)
