Description:
This function creates a new healthbar with the visual appearance of individual icons where one icon represents one health unit.
Icons can be limited to the number of columns and they can be animated as well when gaining / losing health. If an animated image is provided the first frame will be the visual when the health unit is full. The last frame will be the visual when the health unit is empty.
An simple example would be something like this:
The available render events are as follows:
- UBG_HEALTH_RENDER_EVENT.draw_normal - Renders in the basic draw event
- UBG_HEALTH_RENDER_EVENT.draw_gui - Renders in the draw gui event
The coordinates you provide this functtion are dependent on which draw event you choose! Using the *draw_normal* mode will render in room coordinates while using *draw_gui* will render in screen coordinates!
