Display opponents HP Options

[t5yvxc]

Is there a script out there that can display an opponents HP? I would like to add something like that to my game. I remember when I use to play old Final Fantasy games, how tedious and boring it felt to fight a boss you had no clue on how much progress your actually making. Especialy for example if lets say you die and the boss was only at 5% HP, considering you see no HP bar you wouldn't know that and I think that kind of aspect can discourage someone stuck on a boss. Its a a huge better feel IMO to see the enemies HP. Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to merge it with Yanfly's show enemy hp bars? As in, this is shown in their hp bar?

[Night_Runner]

Where can I find Yanfly's script?

[Laue]

Here you go

[Night_Runner]

Okey dokey, I think I understand the scripts

What features of my script did you want ported over to Yanfly's script?

[Laue]

Oh my, my mistake. For some reason I thought your scripts shows enemy hp in numbers. And I wanted that in Yanfly's HP bars, maybe even tied to this.

My bad.
