How to do HP

[sans17]

Hi, i want to know how i can do the HP (healt point) like in a RPG. I did some research but the only thing I saw is tutorial with HEALT BAR, but i don't want to show a healt bar, i just want to show the numbers, like in this image:


Does someboddy can help me, please?
Also, I work with GML.

So you will just use variables, then draw them, the string() function will be useful in the process:

draw_text(10, 10, string("HP: ")+string(hp_current)+string("/")+string(hp_max));

You don't necessarily need to use string() if the argument is a string, but I did it to stay more organized.


Now you just have to draw the text in the right place.

draw_text(10, 10, string("HP: ")+string(hp_current)+string("/")+string(hp_max));

@FoxyOfJungle has given a good answer. Just an addition, you do not need to use the string function for existing strings. "HP: " and "/" are already strings, no need to add the string function to them.

draw_text(10, 10, "HP: " + string(hp_current) + "/" + string(hp_max));

Put the code in the Draw Event of any object.
