Changing Health GUI text

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make a text label that displays health numbers, so like 100/100 and if I get damaged it of course varies. But I do not know how to, I know it’s simple but I tried and it isn’t working. I made the bar that changes during damage but the numbers I do not have.

The main idea is that you’re looking for strings of the Humanoid’s Health and MaxHealth and concatenating them together along with a slash sign to get this. You can do this in any number of ways so long as those numbers are becoming strings.

Personally I just use format because it’s straightforward. I don’t think it’s better than concatenation but I tend not to mind the technical details there unless the performance difference is really noticeable.

string.format("%d/%d", Humanoid.Health, Humanoid.MaxHealth)

You would use the Health and MaxHealth property of Humanoid, which is part of the Character object that can be referenced by writing p.Character (where p is your LocalPlayer)

I hope this helps, goodluck on your developing career!

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local text = pathto.TextLabel
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function()
    text.Text = string.format("%d/%d", humanoid.Health, humanoid.MaxHealth)
end)

Thanks but it doesn’t seem to be working, is this a local script I place inside the textlabel?

#6

It is a LocalScript and inside a TextLabel.

Don’t forget to set the actual parameters for this.

#8

doesn’t seem to be working,. hmm

Pathto refers to the path from the script to the TextLabel, if the LocalScript is inside the TextLabel it would simply be script.Parent

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local text = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function()
    text.Text = string.format("%d/%d", humanoid.Health, humanoid.MaxHealth)
end)

Try this, I believe it might work now because HealthChanged function is not working for me either.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local text = pathto.TextLabel
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

while true do
    wait()
    text.Text = string.format("%d/%d", humanoid.Health, humanoid.MaxHealth)
end
