[SOLVED]adding party hp to a variable?

[darkcieran]

I want to add the party's hp(meaning the sum of every member's hp ) to a variable. is there an easy way to do this?

 

[SephirothSpawn]

# Add above main (or in Game_Party)

class Game_Party

  def sum_hp

    n = 0

    @actors.each {|a| n += a.hp}

    return n

  end

end

 

# Assign to variable

$game_variables[variable_id] = $game_party.sum_hp

would you mind explaining this line to me?

@actors.each {|a| n += a.hp}

It is an iterator function. Each is a function of the Array class where it passes through all objects within the array giving them the local variable name defined between the || marks within that block.

So, it passes through each character within your party. Between the { } marks, each actor will be defined as a since that is what we told it (through |a|). From there it is just a matter of adding the hp value to our n counter. Could have also wrote it like:

@actors.each do |a|

  n += a.hp

end

 

# or

 

for a in @actors

  n += a.hp

end

 

# or

 

for i in [email=0...@actors.size]0...@actors.size[/email]

  a = @actors[i]

  n += a.hp

end
