Advanced, customizable, visual bars to present amounts of points such health, mana, stamina and more
HealthBar plugin for Construct 2 and Construct 3
It’s a Construct plugin that allows you to easily implement multiple instances of advanced, customizable, dynamic and unified bars (rectangle-shaped horizontal gauges) to present amounts of points: health, mana, stamina, energy etc.
The plugin was highly inspired by popular MOBA games, where respective stat bars have the same dimensions but properly reflect current points in comparison to max, reflect max value thanks to dynamically adjusting divors, show ongoing healings, poisons and more. Thanks to that players receive easy to read and reliable information.
It’s unified - because all the bars can have the same size and appearance for all instances but display proper values regardless of the maximum amount owned by each instance. And in order to distinguish the actual amounts of maximum point for each unit, you can add divisors that will automatically update their count and positions when the values change.
It’s advanced - because the bars can show not only the amount of current points in proportion to a maximum value, but can also display “extra” points (we call it shield), incoming points (regeneration) and points being lost (decay).
It’s customizable - because you set the appearance of bars according to your preferences and can change them on the fly. You can easily select sprites that will be used as a bar’s background, fillment, divisors, shield (“extra points''), incoming points and points being lost.
It’s dynamic - because the number of divisors changes accordingly to the maximum amount to properly reflect the values presented by the bar. Moreover the assets of the bars can be changed on the fly, e.g. to display different colors when the amount of points is low.
To make your game’s development faster and easier. The plugin will save you tons of work by giving you a nearly “ready to go” professional-looking solution.
Watch the video in the gallery above to learn how to set it up and how to operate it.
Check also the screenshots with lists of ACEs to get a better picture of how it can be used.
The addon also contains an example project that will help you to learn how to use it.
If you are a minimalist, you can operate directly on the HealthBar’s properties and use them as properties of your player, enemies etc.
However, you will more likely use respective ACEs to set the bar’s current value with variables of your choice.
You can also use our Health behavior that was designed to easily work together with the HealthBar plugin. Both can be purchased in a bundle.
