Teach Me How to Fish

Nevermind about Bar Visibility, I overlooked it the first time I read the wiki page...found it now.

Putting it your way, I handle it like this (I'm not adding code about bars, since you said you got it):

MaxHP:20 (or whatever number, of course)
HP:{MaxHP} (it's the current HP, and defaults to the same as the maximum HP)
NLdamage:0

You can also show these in the quick statsheet on the same line adding a token property like this:
*HP:{HP} / {MaxHP} - ({NLdamage + " NL dmg"})

Damage:

Code: Select all

<!-- DMG is still the variable asked for by prompt/input -->
[h: HP = min(MaxHP, HP - DMG)]
 

Non Lethal:

Code: Select all

<!-- As above, but for for NLdmg -->
[h: NLdamage = max(0, NLdamage + NLdmg)]
<!-- For the following, you have to create the "Staggered" and "Unconscious" states in Campaign Properties -->
[h, if(NLdamage >= HP): setState("Staggered", 1); setState("Staggered", 0)]
[h, if(NLdamage > HP): setState("Unconscious", 1); setState("Unconscious", 0)]
 

Healing:

Code: Select all

<!-- As above, but for Cure -->
[h: HP = max(MaxHP, HP + Cure)]
[h: NLdamage = max(0, NLdamage - Cure)]

Ok, I fiddled around with "if", but for some reason it's not working...

[h:Heal=Healing]
[h:Damage=Damage-Heal]
[h:if(Damage<0,Damage=0, )]
[h:NLdamage=NLdamage-Heal]
[h:if(NLdamage<0,NLdamage=0, )]
[h:bar.HealthBar=HP/MaxHP]

Not only is it not capping my Current HP, it's ignoring everything after the first if line. No healing to Nonlethal damage, and no change in Health bar...What am I doing wrong with the if statement?

Ninja'd!

I think I get what you're saying, but this "min" and "max" thing isn't a command I've read about yet. Also, is it supposed to be "[h," instead of "[h:" in those lines of code?

min() and max() are easy, they just get respectively the lowest or highest of the values you feed them. For example, using max(5, -5) you get 5, which is the highest of the two.
This way, if you set that [HP = min(MaxHP, HP + cure)], as long as HP is below HPmax, you'll get it at its proper value, and if it goes above HPmax, it will be dragged down to being the same as HPmax and won't go higher.

For the other part you ask:

[h:Heal=Healing]
[h:Damage=Damage-Heal]
[h:if(Damage<0,Damage=0, )]
[h:NLdamage=NLdamage-Heal]
[h:if(NLdamage<0,NLdamage=0, )]
[h:bar.HealthBar=HP/MaxHP]

Not only is it not capping my Current HP, it's ignoring everything after the first if line. No healing to Nonlethal damage, and no change in Health bar...What am I doing wrong with the if statement?

There are two kind of IFs, one is the roll option, the other is the function. Up here you used the function, but with the function you can't define new variables (also, you didn't define the "else" case in them, I don't know if that can be done for the function).
Change those IFs to the roll option variant:
[h, if(Damage < 0): Damage = 0]

EDIT
Also, I didn't mention it in the other post, but you can add Dying and Dead states to use in the damage macro in the same way as Staggered and Unconscious for the NL Dmg one.

That did it! Thank you!
