Bar help

[Ellie]

Hi, I am using this bar script:

class Bitmap
  def draw_2pic_gradient_bar(x, y, current, max, background_file, bar_file)
    bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture(background_file)
    self.blt(x, y, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, bitmap.width, bitmap.height))
    bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture(bar_file)
    w = Integer(bitmap.width * (current / max.to_f))
    self.blt(x, y, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, w, bitmap.height))
  end
end

(I believe either Trickster or Seph made this, please correct me if I'm wrong. I dunno as I forgot and the forum backup meant the post has been lost ':| ).

...to draw a bar for "limit break" and "exp" for a menu system I am making.

The only trouble is, it cuts off the bar part way. I am not supposed to define a width, and there is nowhere to do so, so I have not. The width is determined by the width of the image:

ff_a_back: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v108/ ... a_back.png[/IMG]
ff_a_exp: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v108/ ... _a_exp.png[/IMG]
ff_a_limit: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v108/ ... _limit.png[/IMG]

The bar should fill the space in the background image if drawn properly.

This is my code:

    super(19-16, 0, 156, 200)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    refresh
    self.active = false
    self.index = -1
  end

  def refresh

      self.contents.draw_text(x, y+1, 200, 12, actor.name)
      self.contents.font.size = 12
      draw_actor_level(actor, x+16, y + 14)
      @minhp = actor.hp
      @maxhp = actor.maxhp
      @minsp = actor.sp
      @maxsp = actor.maxsp
      self.contents.draw_text(x+15, y+23, 200, 10, "#{@minhp}/#{@maxhp}")
      self.contents.draw_text(x+15, y+33, 200, 10, "#{@minsp}/#{@maxsp}")
      @minxp = actor.now_exp
      @maxxp = actor.next_exp
      #temporary - limit break not added yet
      self.contents.draw_2pic_gradient_bar(x+102, x+16, 0, 1, "ff_a_back", "ff_a_limit")
      self.contents.draw_2pic_gradient_bar(x+102, x+35, @minxp, @maxxp, "ff_a_back", "ff_a_exp")
    end
  end

    if @index < 0
      self.cursor_rect.empty
    else
      self.cursor_rect.set(0, @index * 50, self.width - 32, 96)
    end
  end
end

Spoiler: And just the code for the bars...

@minxp = actor.now_exp
      @maxxp = actor.next_exp
      #temporary - limit break not added yet
      self.contents.draw_2pic_gradient_bar(x+102, x+16, 0, 1, "ff_a_back", "ff_a_limit")
      self.contents.draw_2pic_gradient_bar(x+102, x+35, @minxp, @maxxp, "ff_a_back", "ff_a_exp")

...and here's a screenshot of what I mean:

Also, while taking the screenshot I noticed another problem: it does not draw a bar for the second or third actor in the party.

Bump. Anyone know what is causing this?

Try replacing the second "bitmap" with something like "bitmap2"?

I fixed it. The window was too small for the bars so it was cutting it off. I can't believe it was that simple...
