Recently I have been attempting to create a custom health and health bar system. But I have run into a problem:
I am using a UI gradient to scale the health bar, as I am using a weird shape, however, the UI gradient makes the bar become completely vertical, which is not what I want as the bar I am using has slanted edges.
I naturally tried to rotate the UI gradient, but this makes the values very strange to work with, as you can see in the video that I linked below:
I know I could also do some math to work out the difference and then adjust it accordingly, and in an earlier prototype I did do this, but there must be an easier way?
heres your background
Make sure background colour is green instead
Check clips descendants
place image or frame below to represent the grey area
And now you can control the grey area of your health bar
How would this solve my problem though? I want the green area to be slanted without the offset value of the UI gradient becoming weird (i.e (-0.5,0) at 0 rotation is the same as (-0.2,0) at -27 rotation)
i thought the problem was that the ui gradient was forcing it to be non slanted. So you couldve used the other piece of the bar that doesnt have a gradient on it to control so you dont have to even deal with it.
