Premium Life and Multiplayer compatibility

@jwunderl Is the premium life extension compatible with multiplayer blocks? When I tried to use it the multiplayer life was a seperate icon that went over the premium life icon. Am I missing something or is there nothing for multiplayer?

I think that might be something that wasn’t thought of

Ah, yeah, this was something I made in one afternoon to help make a single skillmap easier, and I haven’t updated it since then (besides maybe a few follow up minor requests a day or two after); I can try and find some time to update it to support multiplayer too, but can’t promise an exact time.

There’s also just not a lot of code to it, you can see pretty much all of it here

     * * support partial hearts? e.g. make it so they can pass an array of images separate for filledLifeImage,
     *     and then each life becomes 1/array.length hearts
     * * support positioning the renderable -- e.g. peg to corner of the screen with an offset

    class ProfileState {
        profileImage: Image;
        filledLifeImage: Image;
        emptyLifeImage: Image;

so if you’re interested might be easiest / quickest to start to just fork the repo and update as needed, or put it in a separate file in your project and customize it as needed.
