Scratch

This isn't really an advanced topic, so this should be in All About Scratch.

Anyways, you wanna start out make a health bar sprite. Well, several of them. Each one a little less than the one before, so if the health goes down, the bar will go down.
Then, you want to make a variable called health. Then, there are many ways to go on. If it is a shooting game, you could make a script like <if>bullet<touching>player<brodcast lower> <--That's for the player

Then, for the health bar, you want to make a script like when green flag clicked, set costume to 1. Then <When I receive>lower<next costume>


This is a stupid way, it was just in my head.

oh well I'm sorry about the advanced topic, i am a complete newbie  i just got the program yesterday and joined scratch today

Don't worry, you'll get your way 

Well, you might want to make another sprite with the text like "You died" . That sprite, make the scripts when green flag clicked hide. When I receive "No Health" show and stop all. It's kind of hard for me to explain with text, so I will make a project template for you.

WeirdF- I meant to say costumes, not sprites, sorry.

heres a project to help out:
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Tutorial_Maker/232059

change this though
[blocks]repeat until><(<{ health}> <=> <{health max  }> )><stamp><move(  1)steps>
<change{ <{health  }> }by( 1)>
[/blocks]

It's not too hard to make a health bar.First,on the background,use the rectangle tool to make a rectangle of some sort of color.Now make a sprite that will change the health.It should be a line that is not as tall as the rectangle with two costumes,one the same color as the rectangle and the other a diffrent color.now make this script:[blocks]<when green flag clicked><go to x   wherever the rectangle begins)y   wherever the rectangle begins<switch to costume[ 1<clear><repeat( 100<stamp><change x by( 1<switch to costume[ 2<set{ health }to( whatever needed<when I receive[ damaged<repeat( 10<stamp><change x by( -1<change{health  }by( you choose<when green flag clicked><forever if><( health <<> 1 )><stop all>I Believe this was earlier called a Pen Health Bar in someone elses post.I hope that helped.

Hi azzza!  Welcome to the forums and thanks for helping out - that's what the forums are all about 

Do be careful to check the dates of the topics that you are responding to though...if they are more than a couple of months old, chances are that the person that posted it has already found a solution or they would have bumped their topic (put another post on it to change the date and bring it back to the top of the list of topics).
