Easy Enemy Health Bars in Unity

[@tgporter07]

For anybody who ran into problems with the health bar stretching when rotation is added, I was able to fix this by changing the rotation of the canvas rather than the health bar UI item itself. This is a simple fix: transform.rotation = camera.transform.rotation; becomes transform.parent.rotation = camera.transform.rotation; hope this helps some people out!

Thank you. Went looking for this comment when I ran into the issue myself. 👍

[@DPTecas]

You are the man, thank you

[@MrWebbtang]

You are a legend, I was tearing my hair out trying to fix this. Can't believe I fell into the 'rotating a scaled transform' trap AGAIN

[@TransGuyShane]

I literally never thought of adding health bars directly to enemies, with its own canvas and everything 😅 Thanks for the tutorial ♡

[@bigp0y]

Great - very good teacher

[@linsfunbox4052]

Very good tutorial. However, I can see the border of Canvas in game view. Not sure why. How to get rid of border of Canvas in game view?

[@pixelsoupgames]

I'll keep that saved. Thanks!

[@evilMissRune]

a helpful and simple video, and exactly what i was looking for. thank you

[@AnbuBlackFro]

Getting an issue on the floating health bar script. On public void update health bar "must declare a body because it is not marked abstract, extern or partial" and on the line below at 5:04 slider, current and max value "does not exist in current context" anyone know where i went wrong 🙏🏾

[@pixelart0124]

Very helpful and simple and easy, thank you so much!

[@BMoDev]

Appreciate it, now go make the best game of all time

[@yuxuan130411]

does it ever go to zero? looks like there is always a little bit color left

[@iiropeltonen]

Wow! You're Back! Welcome I missed your coding videos!😢❤

[@lymincs8031]

First, reference the Sprite Renderer next to the variables with "public SpriteRenderer sprite" Then, use code to change the color when the health is under a certain amount. For example, if you wanted it to turn red when under 50 health, you could write "if(health < 50) { sprite.color = red; } Hope this helped! (Also I've never actually tried it, but if I had to guess, this is how you would do it.)

Works for me but leaves an annoying white square artifact i cant seem to remove

[@ProfesserSeal]

I have the health bar working, but how do I make it so that the health bar stays at the top of my game scene and not move with the enemy character?

[@mocheford]

Hey that's a great tutorial, I will use it. A question : My enemies come from far away, how do I keep the health bar big enough to always see it ? Will it shrink as if with the distance ?

[@shonsomech7839]

do you have tutorial for that shooting? it looks really good and the way it bounces :D

[@Tbout72]

Why in the Canvas in the Event Camera you didn't assign the Main Camera ?

[@danielinverso5869]

Also if for some reason you don't want to have a camera variable, Quaternion.identity also works fine though my project is 2D so I dont know if it works in 3D or not.

[@ExileClips123]

My health bar starts at 0 and then when i shoot it, it goes to 10?

[@Smudge04]

when it got to the rotation part, when i locked the slider in place, it just started stretching, do you know a fix for this? loved the video!

[@Ryöken17]

looking for you healthbar in children takes too long for the game, you could do it like your slider, drag and drop?

[@TibiaOTarena]

so what if there a multiple enemies? I use pooling for them do I hvae to pool the canvas separately?

[@chinesepetants2767]

One question, if I make too many monsters by prefab in one scene, does that mean it will create tons of canvas? Is that ok?

[@Cgtchilly]

how do i make it fetch the cameras position on its own and not have to drag it in so when i make a enemy preset i dont have to drag it in to everyone i place down

[@YusafAnimations]

how to make it turn yellow and red at certain health?

[@benriffe4705]

great video thanks bud!!

[@MohamadNurjaman]

i did it till the increase and decrease teh value, but when i play it, and add background sprite like Mountain or something, the hpbar was covered by the background sprite, how to fix it ? i already tried to put sprite renderer on the canvas but not work

[@botcomborderreaching3518]

Same problem, I have health bar on asteroid, but asteroid keeps blocking it

[@Ryöken17]

We have to rotate the health bar cause you made the enemy rotate, so why rotating him ?

[@namk0163]

Does anyone know why he uses [SerializeField] instead of the regular private access modifiers?

[@BMoDev]

Shows up in unity inspector

[@mindbodymusic21]

Hi great video loved it small suggestion link in the description or end of video related videos

[@guillermozafra8993]

This tutorial rotates the whole object to rotate the canvas alongside it. In 3D, your whole model will be facing the floor when rotated, instead of just the model. Doing slider.transform.rotation instead of transform.rotation is an easy fix

[@FRANCOPROHOLA]

Nice video man :D

[@Meireiyangpanmei-g8f]

Great tutorial!! subscribe.

[@johnnygamer4933]

You made the Slider slider private, and the you instantiate from unity... that's cheating.

[@Johnnys_Manager]

was hard asf ngl omg

[@Johnnys_Manager]

did it tho💔

[@sourirerouge9995]

ty ty

[@zote1]

here is the code if anyone wants it remamber change the name the one you are using using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.UI; public class FloatingHealthBar : MonoBehaviour { [SerializeField] private Slider slider; [SerializeField] private Camera camera; [SerializeField] private Transform target; [SerializeField] private Vector3 offset; public void UpdateHealthBar(float currentValue, float maxValue) { slider.value = currentValue / maxValue; } void Update() { transform.rotation = camera.transform.rotation; transform.position = target.position + offset; } }
