    Hey Guys,

    I was just wondering what you think the best method to creating a UI Health bar. I've been using sliders but you're very limited to the design as I find the fill go's funny when you use odd shapes. I've people using an image with a mask and move the image with script.

    What do you use for you health bar? and what do you think is the best way to do it

    Simply by using UI image and using image.fillAmount to change and to display the health state:

    int maxHealth = 100;
    int currentHealth = maxHealth;

    health.fillAmount = currentHealth / maxHealth;
