Enclosed is a stripped down version of my heart system, and rough pickup & throw
script. It is decently documented.

There are a few issues with it - I haven't been able to successfully get it to show a
'empty' container yet (when a heart (or custom item) is empty below 25% it now just
dissapears- wish it would show an 'empty' icon... 

If you care to use it and make improvements/fixes, please share them?

I figured that at the least it makes an interesting alternative to the standard health bar,
plus these things can be a pain to make ;-)

Just a thought, perhaps you can underlay an image of empty containers below the floating heart icons that disappear?

Actually squat- embarressingly enough,
I can't figure out how to get it to show a heart or other emblem for a 'zero' or empty
container yet :-/

last day or two of me hosting the file & scripts for this, as my bandwidth is starting to get a little too high.

Just letting you all know, wish I'd gotten a bit more feedback on it, I hope that someone found it entertaining/ useful.

you should be able to upload files to the forum if you want to host it directly here.  I'll double check that i have the file limit set to a reasonable limit.

I grabbed it and I ran your world and I've dissected some of the things for my own use. I credited you aswell in my code and I'll do that for all things that are developed by the community. I really like what you've done, it's opened several doors for me and I appreciate the effort. For instance, I can now do my own custom capture the flag mode and pickup items. I also got my flickering lightswitches to behave thanks to you. In fact, viewing your work lead to many breakthroughs in my understanding of the structure of this code. I hope you keep it up.

Thank you squat :-)

I hope that people can give me hints here and there on what they pulled off/out with it ;-)

I'm still stuck trying to get it to show a 'zero' or blank heart or other icon, but I'll keep it up-
Once my demo level is fully done, I'll be posting that for others for a few weeks to take what
they can from it.

If you figure out how to show the empty containers (as opposed to them vanishing) without the
code breaking, please let me know ;-)

wow, this is really cool. You really seem to know scripting. Those lines of code i could never come up with. I have absolutly no idea how to solve the health bar issue though Sad

Now you just have to add a FX when you pick stuff up Smiley
