Hello, I made a really basic health system to my AI, when I shoot him his health lowers by 20.
Now i’m trying to display his health with a health bar,I tried doing that and made a health bar above his head.
The problem is the health bar stays the same…Here’s what I’ve tried
But it doesn’t work. Any help please? (Without using Event tick).
Thanks!
Do you really change the progress bar then?
I don’t know how you want to arrange that, but I would give your AI or NPC a 3D Widget as a component, so it hovers over it all the time (or where ever you want it to be). If you make the widget a child of the AI/NPC then you can access the Widget very easily, because it is part of your AI/NPC. Then you can change all the settings for your widgets like the health/progress bar, it’s color and percentage and stuff.
Have a look at the live training streams from Epic:
They cover this at some point during the stream as well as other useful information you may find helpful. I believe the widget can be seen in the forth video…here it is:
Do you mean like this?
The problem with this is that I don’t want to use Event tick and don’t know how to fire it without it.
Thanks for the videos i’ll give them a look.
There are a few mysteries in your problem.
How are you visualising the HP bar?
Did you bind the GetPercentage_0 function to the HP bar?
Are you running on multiplayer, in that case maybe the problem is replication and not a problem with your implementation.
How are you taking damage? On your character I believe you had the event “onDamage” or “onHit” which you could use unless you implemented it some other way.
I bind GetPercentage_0 function to my AI’s health points which start from 100.
I do not run multiplayer at the moment, it’s just a singleplayer.
And my AI character takes damage by LineTraceByChannel.
Everytime it “hits” the actor(AI) it removes him 15 Health points.
About the visualising I didn’t quite understand you.
Okay first off, have you doing a PrintString to see if the hit is actually being triggered?
Have you tried logging the values t see if the value 15 is there?
Sorry for my late response but I’ve already got it to work.
Instead of plugging Cast to health bar to Event Tick, I plugged Cast to health bar to whenever I deal damage to my AI. Works perfectly!
