Easier way to do health bars

Hi,

I find your way complex to make Health bar.

I made an Unity package, if you want it, just contact me since I cannot put it here yet.

Here how I did it.
I made an UI Image (background) red and his child is an UI Image green. And I take HealthAsPercentage as x scale. It’s really simple and I think it’s better than Ben’s way to do it in that video.

Unity :

Code :

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

[RequireComponent(typeof(RawImage))]
public class PlayerHealthBar : MonoBehaviour
{
Player player;

// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
    player = FindObjectOfType<Player>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    transform.localScale = new Vector3(player.HealthAsPercentage,1,1);
}

}

You could also scale the negative space graphic inversely to the health and avoid distorting the health bar itself.
