Massive FPS Drop

[Slimwaffle]

Hey guys. I need help again. So I rewrote the scripts for my HUD to look a little nicer. Using Circles instead of bars. And for some reason I am getting crazy FPS drop. With bars I was able to sit at 60fps very comfortably but using circles I drop to between 5-10fps. Can someone please help? I have looked over the code and can't figure it out. As usual I will provide the code and a screen shot. This fps drop happens even when only using one of the new scripts.

Hungerbar.lua

Health.lua

ThirstBar.lua

Staminabar.lua

You are drawing 4000 rectangles every frame.

Is there anyway to draw a circle without doing this? The only shape I could find in the API was DrawRect.

I think the best way would be an image of a circle and a custom shader which cuts away part of the circle based on the angle you specify. Maybe someone has posted a shader for this on the forum.

A second way is to draw a texture that represent 1 % of a filled healthbar. Then use @macklebee rotate image shader for every percentage of health, you draw the image with a given rotation.

A third way is having a spreadsheet with all the possible health statusses and draw the one that matches your percentage.

Thanks mate. I am just going to do bars for now. And re-address this circle thing after getting this game more built. But I will let you know how I go and you were 100% right swapping back to bars fixed the fps drop. Running back at 60 fps now. Got it looking like this for now.

That looks pretty good too.

Thanks mate. I am almost at the point with this thing where I can just build the map.
