Name Colors depending on HP Percent

Something rather simple and quick.
I did this for my game and it was so little, it was 0 extra work to copy paste it for others.

As some new people don't check the Wiki or could miss this,
and this is maybe something some people would like to have,
I'm writing about it here aswell.

Here's the Link to the Quick Tutorial.

best used together with this:

I'm really not good with Wiki Syntax, so if someone can fix that up, please do so XD

simply check where you render the characters (its a little above this in the code)
there it renders the character.
wherever you want to have it render something different,
take the example of that code for the condition checking.
And tell it what body Grh to render.

Yep we got this in SVO for a while already.

1-25% = Red colored HP
26-45% = Yellow colored HP
46-100% = White

They were discussing about the sprites, good Idea though, you could make a sprite with damaged clothes or something when he is hurt.

But is it possible to make youre sprite change ( or just add a different Grh on top of your sprite ) when you have 10% health less? that would be very nice!
but anyway thanks for this tutorial, its a nice feature.

my reply is about the sprites and anything paperdoll related,
though I'm not going to write a tut for it (at least not soon)

Thanks

Lol, my first try was no succes, I managed to mess up all the graphics and ended with only a shadow shown as sprite, so on to plan B I guess

I tried some things too, I've been busy with it all day, but i dont get it working.
Can you explain a little bit how i can do it Zanval?

Thanks

What, no we don't skye. XD

In SVO, the name colour changes according to whether it's an friendly npc (green), an attackable npc (red), or a player (white).
However, in the healthwindow we have, the colour of the numbers change according to the players hp.

Yeah I meant the coloring of the HP numbers

BTW this can easily be modified to what many modern MMORPGs have.
Throw in a "Level" field for the NPCs, and displaythe name colors according to level difference.

Player lvl 10 sees NPCS:
Friendly (lvl 0) - white
Monster (lvl 3) - green
Monster (lvl 7) - Blue
Monster (lvl 9) - Yellow
Monster (lvl 13) - Orange
Monster (lvl 25) - Red

you compare the players ELV to the "useless" NPCs ELV

Of course only useless if you dont include it in damage/hit calc like in shaiya
