Progress Bar

I am trying to find a progress bar system like the one in Battle Tanks (the one used when conquering a control point ) and until I find that one I'm somehow trying to create one myself . Does anyone know where can that system be found ?

You mean like this:

No . I'm trying to get something with texttags that are visible on the field and not on a multiboard .

Use floating text.

Typically a bunch of "|"s (shift+\, not L) stringed together gives the illusion of a bar (there are no spaces between them in warcraft font), then just colour them in and show/hide to players.

I'm already trying to do the trick with |||| but in game for me that still look like |||| and not like a bar....

You wont get them close enough to appear to be a bar, but they can give the same function as a bar.

A status bar requires alot of hard work and imports, i wouldnt even touch them right now

All you have to do is take about 30-40 "|" symbols and color them black. Now, every 0.02 seconds (or a different duration) you will calculate how many "|" symbols to change the color of, and it will make it look like the bar is progressing. There has got to be one in the Resources section...

I'm pretty sure there is the text tag size argument somewhere in one of the Jass functions which makes them fatter and make them look like a bar...
