I'm moving all of my scripts from rmxp.org to this site. I like it here better.

Introduction
I made this script because I wanted a gradient bar that didn't require a huge chunk of code to implement. This script creates a gradient bar that starts at a color and fades into white (or another color). You can call it from anywhere in your game where you want to display a gradient bar. From battle, from the menu, wherever. All you have to do is call the following function, draw_bar.



Create draw_bar

In this section, we will create the gradient bar.

1. Open your game and script editor.

2. Add the following script at the end of Window_Base.

CODE
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # ● Draw a gradient bar
  #     actor : actor assigned to the bar
  #     x          : X coordinate of the upper-left pixel of the bar
  #     y          : Y coordinate of the upper-left pixel of the bar
  #     bar_width  : width of the bar
  #     bar_height : height of the bar
  #     current    : current value to compare (eg. hp, sp, exp)
  #     max        : max value to compare (eg. max hp, max sp, max exp)
  #     color      : base color to use (eg. text_color(5))
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  def draw_bar(actor, x, y, bar_width, bar_height, current, max, color)
    
    adj_width = bar_width - 4
    adj_height = bar_height - 4
    
    # outline of bar
    border_color = Color.new(255, 255, 255, 255)
    self.contents.fill_rect(x + 3, y + 8, bar_width, bar_height, border_color)
    
    # background of bar
    background_color = Color.new(0, 0, 0, 255)
    self.contents.fill_rect(x + 5, y + 10, adj_width, adj_height, background_color)
    
    # current bar
    if max != 0

      percent = (current * 100) / max
      adj_width = (adj_width * percent) / 100  
      
      for i in 1..adj_width
        color.red += 1
        color.blue += 1
        color.green += 1
        self.contents.fill_rect(x + 5, y + 10, adj_width, adj_height, color)
        x += 1
        adj_width -= 1
      end      
            
    end    
    
  end



Example
Now that you have created your gradient bar function, you need to call it in your script. A good place to call it could be from Window_MenuStatus, which draws the HP/MAX HP and SP/MAX SP for each character in the main menu.

The following example is from Window_MenuStatus in the refresh function. There are several examples in here that show you how to call draw_bar:
CODE
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Refresh
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    @item_max = $game_party.actors.size
    for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
      @leader = ""
      x = 40
      y = i * 80
      actor = $game_party.actors[i]
      draw_actor_graphic(actor, x-25, y + 60)
      
      draw_actor_name(actor, x, y)
      draw_actor_class(actor, x, y + 15)
  
      draw_bar(actor, x + 140, y, 120, 16, actor.hp, actor.maxhp, text_color(3))      
      draw_actor_hp(actor, x + 115, y)
      
      draw_bar(actor, x + 140, y + 20, 120, 16, actor.sp, actor.maxsp, text_color(4))            
      draw_actor_sp(actor, x + 115, y + 20)  
      
      draw_actor_state(actor, x + 280, y + 20)  
      draw_actor_level(actor, x + 280, y + 40)      
      
    end


Change Gradient
By default, the code I provided makes a gradient that fades to a lighter color. Alternatively, you could have the gradient bar fade into a different color. To make this change, play around with color.red, color.blue, and color.green in the first section of code I provided. (Or just comment one or two of them out.)

REALLY BIG BUMP cupski. This topic is more than a year old, and has been long forgotten. I don't think amaranth even comes here anymore.
Good script though. It's true it is really simple.

I don't understand how to do this....i copied the script into Window_Base, but u lost with me that whole "refresh function" thing. How do i make this work man?

Read it closely. The example shows going into Window_MenuStatus in the refresh function.

Notice in the example it shows the * refresh at the top. Now look at the code, it has

draw_bar(actor, x + 140, y, 120, 16, actor.hp, actor.maxhp, text_color(3))

added above the code to draw the player HP for that window, and there is another for SP. a little lower. That is how you add the bars.

ok, i got it in my menu and stuff, but i can't get it into my battle system. I'm using minkoff's battle system, and i would really like to have these HP/SP bars in them. Any advice?

plus i've played around with the colors. Any tips on how to get them like star ocean 2? (The green to yellow to orange hp)

Please don't double post, just edit your old one - Night_Runner


ok, no problem Night_Runner, sorry for the screw up!

It's ok tongue.gif - NR

I would look into SephirothSpawn's slanted bars though, this is more of a simple gradient bar, and those edits I did made it far from simple tongue.gif

dude, thats frickin genius! I love it! But in battle my fourth persons HP and SP are cut off. any way to fix it? Thanks a lot man!

Not only can I do that for you, but I can also fix a bug where the EXP bars show the SP instead of EXP *yay!*

Not only can I do that for you, but I can also fix a bug where the EXP bars show the SP instead of EXP *yay!*

I could throw you a parade right now lol but in order for a more simplistic script that i myself could edit (or thought i could lol) i used spawns slanted bar. I was under the impression that when u get hit your hp would slide down, not just break off (Im speaking of the gradient bar script) all i can't seem to do is make the spawn bars shorter for battle, and i cant make the EXP bar shorter in the menu (it overlaps the SP bar slightly) so idk what to do lol i tried editing myself, i just screwed it up more lol any ideas?
