You can download the assets in the top left corner of the page. If you are comfortable with C2, you can also directly download the final Capx example.

The principle behind this lifebar is quite simple: we are rotating 2 black half rings over an orange ring split in 2 sprites, to mask it out.

Here is a snapshot of the events in Construct 2. Note that the LifePercent variable corresponds to a percentage, that is to say a value between 0 and 1 (ie. 80% <=> 80/100 <=> 0.8).

  • This is quite a nice idea but so clumsy, especially when you have a lot lot lot of them + responsive sizing. Has anybody or scirra have found a sweeter solution for this over the years? I can not find any results on this anywhere :) Any help is greatly appreciated!
