Question about healthbar (position)

Hi,

at first, I hope this wasn't asked before, but I didn't find anything about it in the forum search.

Well, I want to make a healthbar for my game. The problem is, to get it in the left corner.

My player walks through the levels and the camera scrolls to him.

How can I make, that it seems that the healthbar is always in the left corner?

Thanks in advance for answering!

Use parallax. Copy this "Parallax In Construct 2 | Awesomeness!" into YouTube. It's the video with the trees.

Thanks.

I'm going to watch it later

As I hate video tutorials, (they take ages to usually explain what could be said in one line)

What you need to do is:

Create a new layer

Set the layer's parallax X and Y to 0. << MAGIC

Place your health bar at the position you want on that layer.

You're done

But the MAGIC does not explain anything a beginner might want to know.

I'll try it out at once, thanks

Thanks for your answer. The thing is, that I only want to know how to do. I'm not interested in why. Usually I am, but I think, that I only need to know how But later I will watch the video to see how it works (if I have time).

Oh, sorry for posting it twice

Okay. You don't have to watch the video. It was just a graphic example.

I have tried it now and it works with graphics, but if I use text for score, it won't work...

Does anyone know why?

Or is it a mistake by myself?

I have another problem by using graphics:

If the camera isn't scrolling (if a wall is on the screen wich doesn't let the player through), but the player is moving, then the health bar is stopping and my player walks through it...

Check out this example, tell if you need anything else. (remove the space, I can't post links)
