BF_barras v.1.0
by LeonarthCG & FriKitty / CeciDibujera

A plugin to add HP bars for enemies when you attack them. They animate too!

Features

• You can change the width and height of the bars
• You can select the two colors the bar will have (in a gradient), in hexadecimal code or windowskin code
• You can move the bar up and down, as well as the damage popup
• You can give the bar a border, select its width and color
• You can make all these options change between enemies, or have some enemies not show a bar

Screenshot (forgive the random test things lol)

How to Use
No additional files are needed. Just put it in your plugins folder.

All the configurations about the appearance of the bars are set in the plugin manager. However, these are global values for all bars. If you want certain enemies to have different bars, you have to use these notetags:

<bf_bardisabled> Disables the bar on this enemy
<bf_damageoffset:x> Changes damage popup offset for this enemy
<bf_baroffset:x> Changes bar offset for this enemy
<bf_barwidth:x> Changes bar width for this enemy
<bf_barheight:x> Changes bar height for this enemy
<bf_barcolor1:x> Changes bar color 1 for this enemy
<bf_barcolor2:x> Changes bar color 2 for this enemy
<bf_outlinethick:x> Changes bar outline thickness for this enemy
<bf_outlinecolor:x> Changes bar outline color for this enemy

Where x is the number you want.

Terms and Credits

• You can use this plugin for any project, commercial or not.
• You must credit us as LeonarthCG and CeciDibujera (you may include the nickname "FriKitty" as well, but "CeciDibujera" must be there, and it's shorter that way haha).
• You must also credit "BF Project".
• You can edit this plugin as much as you like, as long as you add in the description somewhere that you did.
• You can also look at the code and see how we did some things to make your own plugin that does things differently. In that case, there is no need to credit us. This is how people learn!

Also, I hope it's okay to mention that this is a plugin LeonarthCG and I made because I will be using it in my project, B&F! Which is a free game(s) and I invite you to take a look. Funnily, it's not used in the first chapter of the series, but it will be used later. It should work fine, but there is a chance something isn't working properly because this wasn't used in a real game yet.
