Not that anyone wants or needs it, but here is a custom progress bar!
It has two modes. Loop and step. And is called like below.
PS> 0..99 | ForEach-Object{"Processing, current step $_";Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 200;.\epicship.ps1 -step $_};"Installation complete!"
.\epicship.ps1 -loop
The Loop has more functions, such as a sun shining and getting obscured by the ship (notice the reflections dissapearing as the sunrays are blocked by the ship).
Param(
[int]$step,
[Switch]$Loop,
[string]$FlagMsg,
[int]$speed = 500,
$condition = $False
)
$ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue"
if($step -gt 100){Write-Error "Step cannot exceed 100";Break}
[int]$step = $step/100*77
if($step -le 0){$step++}
#[console]::CursorVisible = $False
