Vertical Sprite Based HUD (MetroidVania 4.5.9)

[DocNES]

Was looking at changing my sprite based HUD to a vertical one similar to Mega Man in looks. Could use a hand. Wasn't sure if I needed to change the DrawSpriteHud file around. Thank you

Yeah I think that's the file that needs editing... hang on and I'll help you with that setup

@DocNES You need to edit your DrawSpiteHud macro. Try using this I think this is how I got it working.

MACRO DrawSpriteHud arg0, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6
; arg0 = starting position in pixels, x
; arg1 = starting position in pixels, y
; arg2 = sprite to draw, CONTAINER
; arg3 = MAX
; arg4 = sprite to draw, FILLED
; arg5 = variable.
; arg6 = attribute
