Title: Healthbar hovering over unit
Post by: Nietzsche on September 06, 2019, 05:53:04 PM

Hello, I have a question regarding healthbars, while so far I created healthbars with sliders integrated in the UI, I now want to have the healthbars hovering over the units they belong to. It is for a 3D game, and I would be curious, if that is possible by using playmaker.

Yes. You're looking at displaying a sprite in billboard fashion so it always faces the camera.

I did it via this sample package.

I tried that out, but unsing a slider instead of the text as a healthbar didn't work.
