Hello I found a demo map that teaches u how to create progress bars using custom stuff (check the first attachment) It has a README too but even that i didn't understood very well how to do this (i'll try to learn) . Then i've found a map : Kingdom of Kaliron (the site is http://tkok.freeforums.org ) . There i've found the same Progress Bars ... they were used in a multiboards but not alone .. something like this : Hero Icon; Hero Level;
A health bar that shows the hero's life (like the green bar that is over a unit);A mana bar that shows the hero's mana . Now my question : how can i add custom value to a bar like that and how can i make it to change it's colors ? (High Life = Green Bar;Medium Life = Yellow Bar;Low life = Red Bar) This is more like in WoW but it wasn't my idea ,and i find it interesting . Can someone help me with this idea ? and srry for the giant text

Colour of text is changed with colour codes integrated into the text; look it up, I'm sure there are several tutorials out there on the topic of colour codes. As for the "bar", it's probably a string made out of "|" characters, the more of them there are the longer the bar is.

There is a newer version of multibars (which can be found here.)

This version includes another library to create automatic health, mana, and experience bars.

If you want the bars to change colors, you would have to make new colored bar-types and change the bar-type depending on the percentage of health. If you would like, I could make the new images for you and set-up a demo to show you how to do it.
