HP Color Controller Script
by AceOfAces_Mod
Version R1.02 (26/4/2018)
​
This script expands the customization by adding additional HP bar colors and one additional HP text color to the engine. This allows the developer to change the color depending on the actor's remaining HP.

Features:​
  • Easy to use and configure.
  • Compatibility mode for use with scripts that have their own HP color (Normal only).
Screenshots:

Demo:
Pretty self-explanatory. No demo needed.

How to Use:
Place this script under Materials but above main. If you use a script to change the colors, place this script under that too.
After installation, adjust the settings to your liking.

Compatibility:
Compatible with most scripts. Some gauge scripts that fundamentally change how the bars are drawn (such as the Luna Engine) will render this script not working (your game will still work).

# This option is used for compatibiity mode. Turn this on if you adjust
# :hp_gauge1, :hp_gauge2, and :crisis_color from a different script

# (1 and 2) and :hp_ko on the color settings.

# This option enables the extra "Warning" color.
