How to create a complex HUD health bar? (SOLVED no need hardcode)

Questions
#1

I want to make this health bar:
health%20and%20power%20bar
But no idea how to achieve these shapes in defold(I will also like to hear what you have to say of this health bar)

Thanks in advance(again rip you too many questions I ask)

#2

Do you have sprites for this stuff, or wanna hardcode it?

#3

I can make sprites but rather hardcode it

#4

With sprites, You can just create a healthbar like this in 5 lines of code( I did that yesterday). So, I would recommend having sprites for this. As I am not pretty sure about the hardcoding part.

Just say something like

if message_id == hash ("set_health") then 
self.max_health = self.max_health or message.health
local scale = gui.get_scale("healthbar")
scale.x = message.health/self.max_health
gui.set_scale(self.healthbar, scale) 
end

You need to add healthbar.atlas to the textures on the RHS of your gui. Then it will show up too :slight_smile:

gui.set_texture(node, "healthbar")
gui.play_flipbook(node, "live2")

EDIT: I have replaced set_texture(node to “Textures”/“Texture”)
And play_flipbook(node to “Box”/“box”)

What Am I getting wrong here?
