How to make a healthbar

Hi I’m making a game and I was wondering if there was a way to make a health bar and obstacle s to reduce the health. Please help

Hi @Granted,

This progress bar example may be useful here:

how would i make a obstacle to damage the player

You can listen for collision events to check if there is an impact between the obstacle and your player.

Check the collisions and triggers example project:

also out of curiosity how would i make a gun to damage other players

For a gun a common practice is use a raycast from the gun point towards the direction it is facing when press the fire key.

If the raycast returns a result and that’s another player, inflict the damage.

Here are several demo projects you can study that involve raycasting:

could you maybe tell me a little on how this works please

also this is completely out of the blue but is there a way to play a sound when a player jumps in fps. Cuz i want the sound to only be played when the player is grounded

I think you should do yourself a favor and study both the User Manual and the Tutorials, all that you ask in some form are answered there.

Start here and best of luck :innocent:
