so if I already have my @hpcurrent and @hpmax

what is it I must do to the button options and whats the proper trigger syntax?

The easy way is to set the button as a gauge type. This will create a new tab called Gauge that more clearly exposes the gauge properties found on the Options tab.

Max value will, of course, be @hpmax. Value will be @hpcurrent. The low point will be some equation representing a point between 0 and @hpmax where, when @hpcurrent goes below, the gauge will change color. For example, @hpmax / 4 equates to the %25 mark.

The colors should be self-explanatory.

I have my button bar right aligned.....
I was wanting the bars to be vertical on the top of that bar like 3 bars next to eachother hp mana move ....
how is that I can put them next to eachotehr?

Nevermind I got it stack....

So Matt are you saying theres no way to do real time updating to the bars? point for point scaling?
and in the thing theres a place for a vaiable and expression? why doesnt it work just like @hpmax in variable and @hpcurrent in the expression?

That is how it works. As Matt said, in the Guage tab of the button, you would put @hpmax into 'Max Value' and @hpcurrent into 'Value', set the colors you want, and that's it. It will automatically update itself when either of those variables are changed.

I was about to post that the above works great and didn't know why it wasn't working for daemoan. Then I realized Josiah posted it, whoops. Razz

D.V, why would you need gauges to track your stuff? in the last code i made you i put hp/mana/move trackers that represent it in a bar graph form?

trying to quicken my update......
this is my prompt:
<[34323862] [3470HP 6000MA 1000MV]>

~<~[%d~] ~[&%dhitcurrentHP &%dmanacurentMA &%dmovecurrentMV~]~>

I think that should work but it doesnt??????

what i made you if you typed the starting command i told you should give you realtime updates .... if you did not its not going to work ... only reason i told you to type the command was because it changes the prompt into something better suited for scripting like you wanted

Put the variable names in brackets:
