The way you set up health bar is very different from how I've seen it done by so many others. Glad to see it. I do have a question. My issue is converting the percentage of the progress bar into whole numbers. I have two separate text boxes for min/max health along side the progress bar however instead of the numbers displaying say 67/100 it reads 67.2/100. Is there a way you know of to convert the float into integers with either a progress bar or text box? I like the progress bar but for my narrow skill level adding and subtracting health with floats either over heals the player or does not kill the player because they still have .4 health left when the damge taken should have reduced it to zero.
Hey nativeblack! I apologize the delayed response What you can do is use the 'Round' node in order to round a float value to the nearest whole number: docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/BlueprintAPI/Math/Float/Floor/index.html This way, if the damage reduces the health to .6, it'll round to 1. If it reduces down to .4, it'll be 0.
you are the first person I have heard speaking of the term "expensive to the computer". Could you pretty please do some more tutorials about what and how this all means for us?
Ah, great point! Often times tutorials don't cover the "expense" to the computer when buildings things. Some times, things are built that require better hardware, but since it's simply shown as "The way to do it", listeners will accidently create 'expensive' code. I'd love to make a video on this topic!

Sorry for such a late reply Alex! Were you ever able to resolve this?
good vid!
