Problem with displayed health

Hi,

Im making a robot with a health bar displayed above its head as " HP[||||||||||] ", every line displayed as a 10th of its health. To make this run, I created the whole health part of the script (Like damage from velocity, etc) then I have this:

if(health=10000-9001)
{
llSetText("HP[||||||||||]", <0, 1.0, 0>, 1.0);
}


I want the set text to display whenever the health is set in between 10,000 and 9001, instead of subtracting those numbers like it seems to be doing. How can I do this?

ty

With C-like syntax "equals" and "is equal to" aren't expressed the same way unlike say BASIC.

if x = 1 then
language = "BASIC"
end if

if (x == 1)
{
language = "C";
}

i also think you might want to do something like this;

 
myhealth=health/1000
hp_string="HP[";
health_string="|";
 
for(i=1; i < myhealth; ++i) 
{ health_string = health_string+"|"; }
 
hp_string=hp_string+health_string+"]";
 

.

It would be best to handle a small function which you can call to update the hover text health display:

 
 UpdateHoverHealth(){
 	string strHealth = "[";
 	float Diff = Health / 10000;
 	integer x = (integer)(Diff * 10);
 	integer y = 10 - x;
 	while( x-- ) strHealth += "|";
 	while( y-- ) strHealth += " ";
 	strHealth += "]";
 	
 	llSetText( strHealth, < 0.0, 1.0 , 0.0 >, 1.0 );
 }
