customHealth.lua [v1.2] - New CHS with less features

[Marioman2007]

Title says it all, this is for those who just need a custom health system.
It has better code than CHS but less features. I felt like CHS was bulky so I did a little recode.

Is there a way to have custom hurt sheets for other characters aside from Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Toad?

Is there a way to have custom hurt sheets for other characters aside from Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Toad?

Code: Select all

health.VFX.hurt[CHARACTER_#] = Graphics.loadImageResolved(path)

CHARACTER_# must be a character constant: https://docs.codehaus.moe/#/constants/characters
path must be a string, for example - "customHealth/hurtWario.png"

Is it possible to have either this one, or the original be compatible with MDA's Sonic Monitors? Specifically having the bubble shield give infinite air while its active?

Is it possible to have either this one, or the original be compatible with MDA's Sonic Monitors? Specifically having the bubble shield give infinite air while its active?

You can use this code (after loading customhealth):

Code: Select all

local monitor = require("monitor_ai")

function health.onPlayerHurt(event, p)
    if monitor.getPlayerData(p).currentShield then
        event.cancelled = true
    end
end

would it be possible to only have this code active in one section? i want to use it for a boss at the end of a castle but i don't want to use the health system for the entire castle
if it's not possible that's ok!

Is it at all possible to set a custom main and max health outside the default 3 main, 6 max?

Like if someone wanted to change it to be 5 for main, and 10 for max?

Is it at all possible to set a custom main and max health outside the default 3 main, 6 max?

Like if someone wanted to change it to be 5 for main, and 10 for max?

you can use this code to do that:

Code: Select all

local health = require("customHealth")
health.settings.mainHealth = 5
health.settings.maxHealth = 10
health.curHealth = health.settings.mainHealth

Note that you will need to change the health bar sprites too.
Here's the layout to do that.

Code: Select all

Frame 1  - 0 health
Frame 2  - 1 health
Frame 3  - 2 health
Frame 4  - 3 health
Frame 5  - 4 health
Frame 6  - 5 health
Frame 7  - No health (used in the counting up animation)
Frame 8  - 6 health
Frame 9  - 7 health
Frame 10 - 8 health
Frame 11 - 9 health
Frame 12 - 10 health
Frame 13 - Daredevil health
