Hello. I managed to connect a portable monitor to my laptop for my setup, and figured out how to close the lid and have the laptop's screen off when using the monitor. Now, for waking up the laptop without opening the lid, and have it project to my portable monitor is my next step. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard, and would like to either press space or jiggle the mouse to wake the laptop up. How can I do this? Right now, I have to press the power button on my portable monitor, and sometimes, there's static. It's kind of strange. Anyway, if someone could assist, that will be great! Thank you.

Depending upon the laptop it may have a docking station option available which has an external power button. Modern docking stations for many things are a glorified USB hub though.
That said usually somewhere in power settings is something like "allow USB devices to wake from sleep", or in hardware settings for that device will be an option to "allow this device to wake from sleep".
If going into crazy territory then I do also have to note things in the world of wake on LAN. This would allow you to send a packet from a phone or whatever has network really to have it wake up. That said theoretically it is not crazy but the realities tend to make it so, maybe you are one of the lucky ones though.
On static (presumably coming from the speakers) then yeah it is a thing you tend to expect -- things doing self tests on power on, or having current rush in to charge (or discharge). Annoying (perhaps even more so if your computer announces your entrance loudly when you need to look up something at 3am in a full house) but nothing to worry about in the overwhelming majority of cases. Fixing it can either head down deep into electronics (if this is some only occasional induced stray voltage from a nearby circuit then... that is often the how boys become men of electrical designing) or maybe some kind of time delay circuit gets used -- you tend to see that more in automotive audio setups where Mr £5000 of audio gear in a £2000 car does not want a pop when starting it up and has some fun with preamp setups and delaying switches.

Thank you for your reply. I will give these two settings you suggested a try. The static is actually on my monitor sometimes when turning it on. I am guessing it is because I am using the power button and other things to get this to work. Anyway, I'll be back with an update.

@Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here. -

@
BigOnYa:
I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.

Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.+1

I was at the bar for 1 hour and lost $40 playing pool, and said well that's enough for my unlucky day, better quit. Some sharks up there today.
