This demo will show you how to code a Zelda-style heart system. It allows the game designer to choose when to adjust the max number of possible hearts. It supports quarter hearts. It automatically wraps the hearts to have only 10 on a line.

Thats really cool.
Is this what you are using for your game?
I thought you were going for HP numbers rather than hearts.

Nah, this is just a tutorial for other people. It's not for my project.

I'm using this in a game and it works great, except that the hearts don't stay in a view. They are locked into one position, so that when my character moves the view changes and you can't see the hearts. I was wondering: How do I change it so that their position is relative to the border of the view?

Replace the code in the draw event for objController with this:

CODE

{
    numOfFullRows = floor(maxHealth/40);
    for (i = 0; i < numOfFullRows; i+= 1)
    {
        for (k = 0; k < 10; k +=1)
        {
            draw_sprite(sprHealthBack,0,view_xview[0] + 32 + 20*k, view_yview[0] + 32 + 20*i);
        }
    }
    finalRow = (maxHealth - (numOfFullRows * 40))/4
    for (k = 0; k < finalRow; k += 1)
    {
        draw_sprite(sprHealthBack,0,view_xview[0] + 32 + 20*k, view_yview[0] + 32 + 20*numOfFullRows);
    }
    //fullHearts = floor(health/4);
    heartRows = floor(health/40);
    for (i = 0; i < heartRows; i+= 1)
    {
        for (k = 0; k < 10; k +=1)
        {
            draw_sprite(sprHealthIcon,0,view_xview[0] + 32 + 20*k, view_yview[0] + 32 + 20*i);
        }
    }
    finalHeartRow = (health - (heartRows * 40))/4
    for (k = 0; k < finalHeartRow -1; k += 1)
    {
        draw_sprite(sprHealthIcon,0,view_xview[0] + 32 + 20*k, view_yview[0] +32 + 20*heartRows);
    }
    if (finalHeartRow != 0)
    {
    draw_sprite(sprHealthIcon,health mod 4,view_xview[0] +32 + 20*k,view_yview[0] +32+20*heartRows);
    }
}

I basically just added "view_xview[0] + " in front of all the x coordinates and "view_yview[0] + " in front of all the y coordinates.
