Fixed Health Bar Problem

by David Taylor · in Torque Game Builder · 06/01/2008 (6:26 am) · 2 replies

Okay, so I've got a vehicle driving around, and if it collides with another vehicle, it gets damaged, and if it gets damaged enough it is destroyed. Simple enough.

I decided a health bar would be nice, so I applied the Fixed Health Bar behaviour, and when I run Torque, my vehicle is invisible. The camera is mounted to the vehicle, so I know it's still there. It's as if it's under the background image map, but even if I 'drive' out from under that image to a space where there is nothing, the vehicle still can't be seen. It will only move horizontally, too. As soon as I remove the Fixed Health Bar behaviour, I can see the vehicle again and it can move in every direction.

Does anyone know what might be causing this to happen?

Hmm, you are just adding the behavior to it. I don't remember this happening. You might look into the behavior and see if they have anything in there like %this.parent.setVisible(false); or something. Do you see the health bar floating around but no the car, or are they both invisible?

Anyone else frustrated on this...don't add it to your player, add it to a sceneobject representing your healthbar
