Sorry I gotta take up space on the boards for this but I couldn't find anything about it in articles section. What I'm asking is, is it possible to have a custom health percent counter that functions the same way the counter functions. What I mean is if I set the max to 100, or 1000, or whatever can it still function like the counter object. A related question I have is what if i wanted my HP meter to be more like a weight scale instead. So instead of numbers or bars it would move the little hand thingy over the current HP I had. Is that possible?

Yeah. Let's say the pointer is called HP, it's Alterable Value A is the health, AVB is the max health, the bar is HP Bar, and HP Bar is 100 pixels long.
Always:
HP: Set X position to X Left("HP Bar") + ((Value A("HP") * 100) / Value B("HP"))
That's how it works WAAAY back in TGF, anyways. Just rename the values Value A and Value B if you're using a newer program.

Is there anyway I can get a simple example of this in mfa format? Or maybe a visual representation of this? I'm not quite sure what you mean.

You might also have to enter your variables with a ".0" after them. That's the only was I was able to get mine to work.

Will CCA work? They can be opened in your program.

I think I did it, and I made it so there was a second pointer moving that rotates on its top.(I'm going to make the horizontal bar invisible. I'm not sure if I made it rotate right but it seems to work well enough. Anyone want to take a look and see if there is a better and more accurate way? Here it is.

Oh dear, my code for this is totally worthless in a game that scrolls...I have no idea to make the angle of one pointer follow the other without using its x position. Anyone have any tips on what I can do?
Oh and to understand what I'm talking about you'll need to see the example I posted up top.
