Hello, Does anyone know how to make a Separate health bar for legs, arms and head etc. I have already set up damage for different body parts but now want to have different health for each part. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Id imagine it would be a separate health variable per body part. that’s all I can guess since I’m still trying to learn blueprints, coding. ---

Pretty much yeah, separate var for each body part. And then either 5 progress bars. How to organize it depends on how it works and how you need it displayed. ---

So I played with this and got here: Found a neat way to map widgets onto the physics asset. How close is this to what you need? ---

Dunno about the time it took, not much, but blueprint spaghetti cooking time varies greatly. I don’t really know what’s needed as the request is not too detailed. This would be awkward to use if you needed it displayed in 2d - like an inventory screen. Currently it revolves around widget components attached to sockets (but they don’t need to be, ofc): ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/f/1/f1990de996d63c798dd00ae32c41c29b02a38f0f.jpeg) You could easily track the health of all these body parts. Each widget is an extended widget component and does its own thing so this is pretty modular: ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/a/7/a7be7fec6abd413f19dddacea39f0030c65920c4.png) It’s not really feature-rich but it seems like a direction that would work. Again, depends on what is _really_ needed. I can push the project your way if it makes sense. Perhaps you can take it further. ---

Yeah that would be great thank you. It’s for a FPS game so should work. You have a PayPal account would happily buy you a coffee for this?. ---

- this works with Point Damage; as debug the player damages itself with 1. ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/1/d1b85797ae37c6f69745cb3bd11498ba0f0e00f9.png) You probably have a better way of dealing damage, though so use what you’ve got. - the translation from hit body part → widget is based on those 2 maps: ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/5/0/501aabdbaea3940437bad075d1b132d84dbb6146.jpeg) One map must populate on Begin Play since widgets are yet to be created. When a bone is hit, we send data to the associated widget. This could be done with a single map but seems more flexible this way. (in case you have something with 2 heads and 4 legs) - assets are here: ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/5/6/56f9f218532e59bf75354f03b2d5504cc8e5866b.png) - the math bits are in the components (WC\_PB stands for Widget Component\_Progress Bar), there’s no script in the widgets whatsoever - Project Link: > **[HealthBars.zip](https://drive.google.com/file/d/19oxOWwvzZEaOeuGuLnlIyRPqatpUB7Zw/view?usp=sharing)** > > Google Drive file. > coffee Nah, it was a cool exercise. Never made anything similar before so the chances are it can be _vastly_ improved. There’s a ton of stuff missing before this get usable, ofc. Just an idea at this point. Good luck! ---

Thank you I can learn from this as well. The main problem I was having was knowing where to start. This will be so helpful I appreciate it man. Would still happily buy you coffee for this. Let me know
