Fill up Energy Bar? -HELP

Hey guys, does anyone know how to fill this circle bar just with the drawing event?

Creating 100 Animations for that actor and just switch it according to the filled percent would use up too much memory

Thanks

Also, is there a way to use a gradient ingame?

You could use image API to instance the full circle, then clear parts of it with a shape, basically substracting the image to the percentage you desire.

Or, if you would ditch the gradient, simply create a 1/100th of a circle of image, and rotate and dupicate it.

Use the drawing extension http://community.stencyl.com/index.php?topic=35352.0 , you'll be able to draw  filled arcs.

If you want a gradient effect, maybe you could put a "gradient actor" under it and apply transparency to the drawing.

I think I will ditch the gradient and do it like LIBERADO did. Looks pretty perfect

Thanks alot guys

welp, I completely forgit about the drawing extension.

that would make it easier. prep the gradient full arc and clear it with the 'fill ring piece at.... ' drawn on the opposite of what you want to show.
