*Thanking and Solving the Issue* Thank you for this! It's the kind of healthbar that's makes the player see the effect of each action, always loved to see it when playing myself, so interactive! 🛑How it went with me: At first, It wasn't working for me, it was showing the yellow bar only, but when damaging, it wasn't decreasing until health reaches zero then the yellow decrease the whole bar slowly. ⚙️Now, it's working, because there are few steps wasn't shown in the video, here they are: Make the *Ease HealthBar* and its children above *the child HealthBar*, and make sure to complete *the parent Healthbar' script* by adding the the child HealthBar to "Health Slider", and the EaseHealthBar to "Ease Heath Slider". The reason is that in Unity's hierarchy, the order goes like this: the upper the gameObject is, the back it will be placed, so as the opposite. It is easier when imagining that each gameObject in the Hierarchy has an invisible number, so the top gameObject is 0, the second gameObject is 1, the one that follows is 2, and so on... As a result, gameObject #1 is in front of #0, and #2 is in front of 0 and 1, etc. Hope it's clear and helpful.✨
@blackcitadelstudios Don't mention it, I want to thank you for how deep your work is, from searching for the health bar tutorial for my game, to being amazed of your work, the interactive details you care about are exactly what makes the gameplay experience unforgettable! Your developing experience is the key for the door of the player experience! As long as you enjoy making it, and remember that every challenge you face means a new thing you are about to learn and gain in your journey, then keep it up! 💪🏻🎮✨
You've skipped some steps. What slider do I add to the Health Bar script that is on the Health Bar parent object, as well as the Health Bar script on the Ease Health Bar. After watching the video, these fields are empty and I get a null reference error. It's a great video but some steps were skipped.
For some reason, my ease bar is always 10 hp above my actual health. Only the ease doesn’t register the first time i press space. Does anyone know why? i’ll provide a solution if i can figure it out on my own
Check if your sliders components have the Whole Numbers variable ticked. Bashed my head against my desk for 2 hours before I found that little checkbox :)
Hi dude! Awesome video! It's the only one I found that did what I needed! I'm just trying to do one thing different, but I can't seem to get it to work, I don't want the healthbars to be afected by camera perspective, if an enemy is extremely far away I want it's health bar to be the same size as one close to the camera. I'm building a MOBA style game and there, the healthbars of all the players are always the same size, whether they are at the center or the corner of the screen. I managed to make this work by having the healthbars exist in the general canvas and setting their positions by converting the players position with the WorldToScreenPoint method + an offset so they are higher than the player's model, but I don't like this approach since the healthbar's objects exist in the hierarchy separated from their respective players, and also I have to instantiate them there with a manager script that shouldn't really exist. But the problems are beside the point, what I would need is to have the same thing you show on your video but without the perspective affecting how the healthbars look. Thanks again for the video!
I think you are on the right track. I don't know how to do it without experimenting on how to do it, but i think you're almost there in solving this feature. Keep up the good work. 👍
@@blackcitadelstudios After investigating for a while I realized that LoL uses an orthographic camera, instead of a perspective one, so player models, terrain and hud elements such as healthbars aren't affected by perspective. Still if you wanted perspective for your game except for the healthbars, this could be achieved by using the method in my first comment, the classes and code could be cleaner, but the general idea is there.
What i did is i made a variable on my playerPrefs script. This is where i put the stats of my character, as for the enemies, i just placed that variable in my enemy controller. Then I just subtract the health for every time the hit or takeDamage() function is called.
I suggest you utilize chatGPT to teach you about specific features to make. It will give you steps on how to make them. Parts of my healthbar system came from chatGPTs assistance. Its a very good tool to help you with your functions.
I'm sorry, but I followed your instructions to the letter, but the end result is not the same as yours? I don't see the yellow blood bar moving, can I show you an example?

This is a really good tutorial my friend! But like others have said, please don't skip or cut out the important parts for a tutorial video . Otherwise good explanation and good video showcasing
You can add it as a child of the fill gameobject. Then you modify the text according to the values of your HP on your script as it updates the healthbar.
If you're using an image to make a container for your healthbar, you can just overlay the image on top of the fill, or behind if it's for fill background.
I just couldn't get it to work for some reason. I seem to have gotten confused at 5:13. It jump cuts to how it is supposed to work; but, I didn't see where or how we were supposed to re add the health script to the object.
Nevermind, I figured it out. The cut from the video at the timestamp confused me I was able to get it solved after some troubleshooting. @@blackcitadelstudios
@@blackcitadelstudiosYou mean the healthbar with the slider component? I already did that, the output works however my console has infinite null reference errors
@@blackcitadelstudios Nullreferenceerror Object instance not initialized and it point towards the if condition of the slider where it compares slider value to health if condition
There is a problem, the max value of a slider needs to be changed every time to the value of the enemy health cause it won't be shrinking properly if it's set to one. Script needs to be fixed. FIX: Set in void Start() { healthSlider.maxValue = health; easeHealthSlider.maxValue = health; }
Max value is the maximum health when the player's health is full. There nothing wrong with the script. Please check again. It's set at start and will only update the slider once.

@@blackcitadelstudios Definitely dont stop making these tutorials, I made my first health bar in unity ever cause of you. Just make sure to show the whole process next time. Great video though and thanks so much for the help, now im one step closer to making my dream game!

@@TheTheokatz yeah, it can work that way as well. 👍 Good luck on your game dev project.
when I add a new image, its empty. Despite I'm switching color to black it just create an empty square and I can't fill it
make sure that it's a UI gameobject and it's inside a Canvass Gameobject. UI objects/images needs to have a canvas for it to show.
it is... I also tried with an raw image but it still the same. There is no stuff on the web about that issue :/@@blackcitadelstudios

And by the way, can you make a tutorial about HealthSystem?
What i did is i made a variable on my playerPrefs script. This is where i put the stats of my character, as for the enemies, i just placed that variable in my enemy controller. Then I just subtract the health for every time the hit or takeDamage() function is called.

Solid tutorial, but how do you make it so enemies effect the health bar instead of the keyboard.
You make a dealDamage function that will affect the health when you hit an enemy. Or your healthbar get affected if you're hit by the enemy.
I'm sorry, but I followed your instructions to the letter, but the end result is not the same as yours? I don't see the yellow blood bar moving, can I show you an example?
Yeah, head on to discord. I'll check it.
I did the same thing, but my red health bar is not visible, only the yellow one is decreasing, can you help me? what could be the problem
Maybe the red bar is behind the yellow. Or it could be that the gameobject is not a UI object
Same happened with me, but the solution is as the channel owner said, so to fix it:
Make the *Ease HealthBar* and its children above *the child HealthBar*, and make sure to complete *the parent Healthbar' script* by adding the the child HealthBar to "Health Slider", and the EaseHealthBar to "Ease Heath Slider".

the health isn't matching with the Sidebar value can you help me?
you need to assign the sliders in the inspector for it to change the values.

Hey how do I add like a whole number with a percentage inside of the bar because I kinda want my game to have that
You can add it as a child of the fill gameobject. Then you modify the text according to the values of your HP on your script as it updates the healthbar.
hi jin here
Hello co-lead... Welcome to my channel... ☺️🙏
The slider doesn't connect to the Health. Only the Value changes it
You need to update the health variable using the value of the slider.
Thank you for the fast responde😁👍
No problem. ☺️👍
and what if i use a image with fill option?
If you're using an image to make a container for your healthbar, you can just overlay the image on top of the fill, or behind if it's for fill background.
why the healthbar script cannot manipulate the slider
Maybe you forgot to assign it in the inspector.
I just couldn't get it to work for some reason. I seem to have gotten confused at 5:13. It jump cuts to how it is supposed to work; but, I didn't see where or how we were supposed to re add the health script to the object.

@@pikachubolt2001 what does it say in the error?
@@blackcitadelstudios Nullreferenceerror Object instance not initialized and it point towards the if condition of the slider where it compares slider value to health if condition
Maybe it's your health variable that is not initialized. Or it's on a different line of code.
is the health bar suppose to dissapear when in the parent Health Bar
Check the position of both, also check for canvass renderer.
