How to put a health bar up in scratch

Shadow844

There are multiple ways to create a “health bar” in Scratch. You can create a variable for your character's health and just change it whenever it gets “hit” like this:

when green flag clicked
set [health v] to [100]
forever
if <touching [something bad v] ?> then // Change "something bad" to whatever sprite that will do damage to your character
change [health v] by (-10)
end
wait until <not <touching [something bad v] ?>> // This part just makes sure that your character won't die the first time it gets "hit"
end

Later on you may learn about using Pen blocks to create a more advanced health bar, but right now this is probably the simplest way to do it. I hope this helps, good luck on your project!

Use a variable for the number of health you have, (e.g.

set [health v] to [10]

and make a health bar sprite, and make ten different costumes, for when you lose 1 health, it switches to a costume with a health bar showing 9/10 full. Then you keep losing health, every one health lost the costume switches. 0/10 health bar

health = 0). Name each costume with the number of health that costume represents e.g. name the 9/10 one “9”. Have something like this to continuously switch to the correct costume.

forever
switch costume to [(health) v]
end

By the way, put the health variable oval in the costume slot (where “(health)” is)
This is quite a wordy explanation, but I hope it helps.

You can use pen to draw the health bar(Pen size equals diameter). That way, you can have is display an any(not really cause pixles) number of health. If you need help, I can provide the code, but you would need to share the project.

So my basic health bar is I make a “health bar” sprite with 4 costumes: “full”, “75%”, “50%”, and “25%”. I also make a “Health” variable. The bar sprite is linked to the variable so it changes depending on the variable's value. The code goes something like this:

when green flag clicked
if (Health = 100) then
switch costume to [costume1 v]
end
if (Health <[100] and Health > [75]) then
switch costume to [costume2 v]
end
if (Health < [75] and Health > [50]) then
switch costume to [costume3 v]
end
if (Health < [50] and Health > [25]) then
switch costume to [costume4 v]
end
if (Health < [25] and Health > [0]) then
switch costume to [costume5 v]
end

Cats don't need signatures.

I would recommend using a sprite rather than a pen render if you are dealing with layers.

Arrays speak to me on a spiritual level.

how would you make your sprite ‘die’ after the health bar is empty?
