I'm making a game that requires a health bar. My idea is to make the health bar grow smaller when the character takes damage. I want it to show percentages that are more or less exact. So far, my only idea on how to do this is by making a hundred different costumes by hand. I feel like there has to be a better way to do it. Does anyone have any ideas?

Did you try watching the griffpatch tutorial on health bars? He did 2 tutorials on it, actually, and the newer one is smoother.

Use pen and Math.Equations to your game.Players so you can draw() your local healthPoints = 100
