Extra (Shield) HP Counter

[VCA]

I be wondering if there's a script that give you an extra HP Counter. For example say you have only one HP counter, you use an item called oh lets say "Life Barrier". What this does it give you an extra HP Counter. I don't know if this pic will help. (Note! This is an image example. I don't own the script.)

If anyone can help me, I will appreciate it. Oh! one thing, if possible can this extra HP Counter have it own recovery item say for example the item is called "Shield Recovery" it recover only your extra HP Counter. Thanks.

Some questions... once you get that extra HP gauge on screen, you should deplete it before you actually get hurt by the enemy? Or is this HP gauge / counter a counter for, let's say, physical or magical attacks only?

    if @lifebarrier.value > 0

      if n > @lifebarrier.value

        n -= @lifebarrier.value

        @lifebarrier.value = 0

      else

        @lifebarrier.value -= n

        n = 0

      end

    seph_lifebarrier_ra

    @lifebarrier.value = @lifebarrier.max

end

    

class Game_Actor

  alias_method :seph_lifebarrier_setup, :setup

  def setup(actor_id)

    @lifebarrier.init_actor(actor_id)

    seph_lifebarrier_setup(actor_id)

  end

end

 

class Game_Enemy

  alias_method :seph_lifebarrier_enmy_init, :initialize

  def initialize(*args)

    seph_lifebarrier_enmy_init

    @lifebarrier.init_enemy(@enemy_id)

  end

end

I haven't tested this (just did it in fast reply), but it should work.

Setup:
* Setting up actors start life barrier
- Below this line
Initial_Actor_StartValue = Hash.new(0)
Add
Initial_Actor_StartValue[actor_id] = n

* Setting up actors max life barrier
- Below this line
Initial_Actor_MaxValue = Hash.new(0)
Add
Initial_Actor_MaxValue[actor_id] = n

* Same for enemies for setup

Syntax
* Changing current life barrier value
$game_actors[actor_id].lifebarrier.value <operator> n

* Changing max life barrier value
$game_actors[actor_id].lifebarrier.max <operator> n


As is in the script, life barrier recovers to max value when the recover_all method is called.


Let me know if it doesn't work.

OK then SephirothSpawn, I'll try it. I'll post if it has any bugs.
