how do you make a healthbar?

Underseeker5

I'm currently developing a fps project where you are manning a cannon in a pirate ship and are shooting at a Giant Squid.

obviously, health is controlled via variable, but is there a way to make a full-on healthbar for a boss? i've tinkered with this a bit, but never got anything to work (nothing that looked good, at least).

Is there any way to implement a healthbar into a project?

how do i signature

Check this out, though you'll need to mess around with it a bit.

This is my signature, which shows up every time I post and is automatic. To make a signature of your own, locate the “Change your signature” option in the bottom left of the Discussion Home.
I am nothing if not consistently inconsistent.

Its that easy, but only if you are talking about an UNDERTALE health bar. (The 92 and -1 is if its done in a sans fight)

when green flag clicked
hide variable [HP v]
set [HP v] to [92]
when I receive [Fight Start v]
show variable [HP v]
when I receive [Hit v]
change [HP v] by (-1)

Or something like Fight Start block.

Here's another example - it contains code for both pen and sprite methods.

Scratch dabbling for fun…

Or variables.

Its very simple! what I do is just this:

when green flag clicked
set [health v] to [Anything you want]
if <touching [enemy v] ?> then
change [health v] by ([-Whatever you want])
end
if <[Health v] = [0]> then
broadcast [Die v]
end

Then just make a sprite with hearts or health indicators, then make one disappear when you get hit. When there is 0, you die. Make the ¨die¨ broadcast end the game and take you to the title screen (if there is one).

If it is old, don't reply.

Why hello there! Wonder why you are checking out my signature. While you're at it, why not check out my Gradient generator?
