How exactly do you make a changing health bar, not just using a variable?

Depends...there are a few ways:
-pen tool
-costumes
-x/y position w/cover

The pen tool could be used like this with a health max of 100:

forever
go to x: (-230) y: (-170)
pen down
go to x: ((Health) - (230)) y: (-170)
pen up

Costumes could be used...but you should have a good amount of costumes if you want to do it with costumes.

The x/y position can be used basically in the same way that the pen tool was, except you may also want to include a sprite to cover the end so that it doesn't just move backward until it's off the screen.

I would make a red bar, than make another rectangle the color of the background. Put that cover over the red bar and make a script to move the cover depending on a variable.

Hope that helps.

PS I use many different costumes, because it looks better.
