Well, it doesn't drain from right to left like how i wanted to make it.

If you're asking if it's based upon what you think it's based upon, it is. The top is the bitmap, the bottom is the alpha. The rightmost bullet is(on a grayscale image in photoshop, according to the color chooser on the right) 21%, increasing by 1%(higher is darker) as it goes to the left, until it reaches 80%. Yes, i alpha'd it by hand.

Here's the results.
Full:

Half:

10 bullets left:

Empty... well, almost:



Any help?

I guess you shouldn't alpha the gradient by hand? Try using the gradient tool for reference.

you also need to change the alpha multiplier for it to work

do not make each bar have a gradient, but every bar a different shade ;)

also, an alpha image does not have to be like the diffuse, you can just draw over the lines of the diffuse, because in the alpha you have to to fix those half dissappeared lines.

Yes, each bar has only one color.

That ammo meter has 60 rounds in it, just like the old ar ammo meter.

...no, it's just right. Pretty much, it's just you.

Did you compile the bitmap correctly?
Is the alpha multiplier "4"?

Yes and yes.

Ahhhhhh, I had the same problem my friend. Except for me, the ammo meter didnt work at all. I fixed it by watching the ghosts tut on making ammo meters. I made one before and it worked fine. I just followed that tut to the T.

...I'm lightyears ahead of you.

I just noticed that your alphas have two rows. your ammo meter ingame has one row.... Thats a problem.

Ahhh, whoops. Didnt see that. Im pretty sure that you start at black, solid black, then too solid white.
