Trying To Make An Hp Bar For A Game Using Html/javascript

I'm trying to make a health bar for a game where I have 2 buttons linked to the bar, one adds damage and the other adds health. I have it all designed the way I want it but am havi

Solution 1:

In your example you merely change the output but never the actual health width itself. Here is a quick analysis

functionadd() {
    //REM: You fetch the element correctly;let addHealth = document.getElementById('health')
    //REM: You reset the heath to 100 for some reason?let width = 100;
    //REM: You change a width property of the element?//REM: Here you should reduce the value of width
    addHealth.width += 1;

    if (addHealth) {
        //REM: You set the width of the element according to the health, which seems correct
        addHealth.style.width = width + '%'; 
        //REM: You set the displayed value to 100, since width always gets set to 100 inside the function
        addHealth.innerHTML = width * 1  + 'hp';
    }
}

The most simple way is to store the health in a seperate variable and build on that.

var _Health = 100; //REM: Default HPfunctionadd() {
	let addHealth = document.getElementById('health')
	_Health += 1;

	if (addHealth) {
		addHealth.style.width = _Health + '%'; 
    	addHealth.innerHTML = _Health + 'hp';
    }
}

functionremove() {
	let damage = document.getElementById('health')
	_Health -= 1;

	if(damage) {
		damage.style.width = _Health + '%'; 
   	 	damage.innerHTML = _Health + 'hp';
	}
}

.hp {
	text-align: center;
	padding-bottom: 50px;
}

.gage {
	display: inline-block;
	width: 500px;
	padding-bottom: 30px;
}

.bar { 
	height: 60px;
	position: relative;

	box-shadow: inset 0 -1px1pxrgba(255,255,255,0.3);
}

.bar > span {
  display: block;
  height: 100%;
  border-top-right-radius: 8px;
  border-bottom-right-radius: 8px;
  border-top-left-radius: 20px;

Solution 2:

Change the JS to:

let width=100;

functionadd() {
    let addHealth = document.getElementById('health')
    width +=1;

    if (addHealth) {
        addHealth.style.width = width + '%'; 
        addHealth.innerHTML = width * 1  + 'hp';
    }
}

functionremove() {
    let damage = document.getElementById('health')
    width-=1;

    if(damage) {
        damage.style.width = width + '%'; 
        damage.innerHTML = width - 1  + 'hp';
    }
}

You had to make the variable width a global variable. And actually add and subtract from that variable.

Solution 3:

You can try this

let width = 100;

function add() {
let addHealth = document.getElementById('health')
    width =width+ 1 
    width=width>100?width=100:width
    if(addHealth){
        addHealth.style.width = width + '%'; 
        addHealth.innerHTML = width  + 'hp';
    }
}

function remove() {
    let damage = document.getElementById('health')
    width =width- 1
    width=width<0?width=0:width

    if(damage) {
        damage.style.width = width + '%'; 
        damage.innerHTML = width  + 'hp';
    }
}

Solution 4:

it's better to use the object to control the limitation.

const healthObject = {
      _currentHelth: 100,
      getHealth: function () {
        returnthis._currentHelth
      },
      increase: function () {
        if (this._currentHelth < 100) {
          this._currentHelth++
        }
      },
      decrease: function () {
        if (this._currentHelth > 0) {
          this._currentHelth--
        }
      },
    }

    functionadd() {
      let addHealth = document.getElementById('health')
      healthObject.increase()
      if (addHealth) {
        addHealth.style.width = healthObject.getHealth() + '%'
        addHealth.innerHTML = healthObject.getHealth() + 'hp'
      }
    }

functionremove() {
  let addHealth = document.getElementById('health')
  healthObject.decrease()
  if (addHealth) {
    addHealth.style.width = healthObject.getHealth() + '%'
    addHealth.innerHTML = healthObject.getHealth() + 'hp'
  }
}
