[solved] More than 500?????how could it be?

[A-Man]

My problem is that I have a type 0 state 3000 ball with a negative injury in it. When the ball hits the character, he gains that amount. However if the character hp is 500 the hp bar goes all dark red. when he receive another ball the character hp goes empty. And now when I hit that character with a normal attack his hp bar goes dark red again then normal as if the character had gained more than 500 hp points. Is there any explaining for this???

Health-bars are optimized for 500hp. That's hardcoded. It guarantees a flawless working under normal circumstances. In fact, you can increase the normal red to ~510 or so

I haven't checked out the logic behind the bar-drawing, but I assume it's just some random division-stuff (seeing that around 5hp or something like that map onto 1px) together with modulo-madness.

Generally, you can get as many hp as possible (or as many as the variable-type supports (guess something like 2^32)), it's just that the hp-bar doesn't work then. This is the reason why it's good style to spawn a milk bottle after healing to revert the hp to 500 in case it was over (refer to >this<).

This is what happen when HP goes more than 500.I think it's known.
Characters don't loose a single point of HP when they become so.


If you haven't play this http://www.lf-empire.de/en/lfe-fileplane...potion-lf2 ,here is such effect and some similar things as i remember,if you are interested.

Are you sure? I know exactly that the char will die in stage mode, but it works fine in VS or battle mode. I gained about 10000 hps and the bar goes blank, but nothing goes wrong.(One of my self-made, over-powerd char. )
To topic: Yeah, if you don't want to have that over-flowing hp, use a techniques like this:

so you are saying that spawning a milk will solve the problem....
is there any way I can tell how much hp and mp the milk will recover??

The milk in that trick is not giving you any remarkable amount of hp. It's just that it'll limit your hp to 500 max because that's hardcoded. The actual amount you want to restore has to happen via
an additional object running on state 18 with negative injury etc.
