CoreGUI Damage Problem

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

Hello! Recently I’ve been working on a fighting game of mine, and I noticed that when a player takes more than 5 damage via the :TakeDamage() function, their screen flashes a red vignette, and I want to disable it.

The only thing I got from the DevForum so far was disabling the entirety of the health CoreGUI, but that also disables the default Roblox health bar, and I don’t want that. Now before you say that it isn’t possible, I know it is because I’ve seen games like The Strongest Battlegrounds do it before.

#2

They most likely disabled the health CoreGUI and made a custom UI for the health bar which isn’t too hard.

#3

Just a few minutes after the topbar gui was updated a few months ago, the health bar in The Strongest Battlegrounds had already shifted to its new position. I highly doubt they updated it that fast, so they must be using the default one. Plus, it looks identical to the default one.

#4

Havent tested, but maybe doing
Humanoid.Health -= damage instead of Humanoid:TakeDamage(damage) could work

#5

It’s not too difficult to exactly replicate the healthbar and move it. I believe TopbarPlus by ForeverHD accomplished this, so you could take that module and take a look.

#6

TopbarPlus’ healthbar automatically does that. Not sure what’s so special.

#7

At the time I mentioned, the TopbarPlus icons had not yet been updated, only the health bar. I’m curious though, what do you mean by TopbarPlus healthbar? It’s not in the api.

#8

I can’t find it in the current release (version 3) of TopbarPlus but I know for a fact I saw it in earlier releases. See if you can find the code there.

Found it!

If you want to create this for yourself you probably don’t need the Icon module and could just create this in studio with no problem. Just copy the properties and setup the connections yourself

I’ll try that when I get home.

I managed to get it working after a bit of adapting to Topbar 3.0, thanks!
