Health Bar Limit

Hi,

I attended a game jam in Luton last week organised by Train2Game & used Construct 2 (Free Version) to develop a prototype platform game. Haven't used construct 2 for quite a while & am at more or less beginner level with using it. However i managed to get the game working with most of the basic features, moving, interacting with objects, environments, enemies, reaching the end point of the level etc , but have spent the last few days since the game jam practicing, adding some of the items & features that i didn't get time to add due to time constraints with it being a 48 hour event...

Most of the game is now working relatively good (I hope so) & am able to understand how to fix some niggley problems that occur but i have just 1 minor problem that i can't figure out how to solve & that's with the players health bar. It works fine as it should, have the health set at 100 & each hit reduces the bar by 25%, have also added health items that increase the bar by 25% which works fine, the only exception is when the health bar is already at 100% & a health item is picked up the bar keeps increasing,

I'm sure that its probably a simple fix but i can't figure it out at the moment. Is there a way to stop the bar from increasing once it is at 100%?

Again i'm just getting back into using the program, haven't used it in months so trying to understand the features etc,

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks

You just need to add condition that will either limit or reset the bar, or both.

To limit it would go like this: If bar health < 100%, then add life

to reset the bar, Make MaxHealth and Health instance variables and in event you would do something like this: if health > then varMaxHealth, set bar 100%, set varHealth to varMaxHealth

AFKATM so I have to be quick - this sounds like a job for the clamp expression!

i.e

clamp(playerHealth, 0, 100)

Thanks guys will check that out,
