create a time bar for each object on screen

hello everyone.
i'm trying to find a way to create a timer bar for every object that i have on my scene, i'm just finding a way to create it on canvas with slider, but what i need it's a timer bar attached to the object that follow it.

anyone know how to do it?

 

Once you have got the time bar looking how you want it, create it as a prefab. Then, when you want it to follow a character, create a new instance from the prefab and make that new instance a child of the appropriate character.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5.  
6. public class cube : MonoBehaviour {
7.  
8. public void SetGameManager( GameManager _inGameManager)
9.     {
10.         _GameManager = _inGameManager;
11.     }
12. private GameManager _GameManager;
13.  
14. [SerializeField]
15. private GameObject slider;
16. private const float _speed = 1.0f;
17. private const float xmove = 1.0f;
18.  
19.  
20.  
21.     // Use this for initialization
22.     void Awake () {
23.         Instantiate(slider,gameObject.transform.position,Quaternion.identity,gameObject.transform);
24.     }
25.    
26.     // Update is called once per frame
27.     void Update () {
28.         if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
29.         {
30.         _GameManager.dica++;
31.         Debug.Log(_GameManager.dica);
32.  
33.         }
34.  
35.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
36.         {
37.             Vector3 newPos = new Vector3(gameObject.transform.position.x-xmove*_speed + Time.deltaTime,0,0);
38.             gameObject.transform.position = newPos;
39.         }
40.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow))
41.         {
42.             Vector3 newPos = new Vector3(gameObject.transform.position.x+xmove*_speed + Time.deltaTime,0,0);
43.             gameObject.transform.position = newPos;
44.         }
45.     }
46.    
47. }

this is what i did, are going to instantiate it as child of cube, but doesn't follow it.

 

Your code works for me. Do you have a script on the slider itself that sets its own position as well?

 

not really, i suppose that i should set the canvas on the world space right?
then set the position of the slider on it's script?

 

Oh, I didn't realise you were using a canvas. I was just using 'standard' world space GameObjects. I created a cube, gave another cube as the slider prefab and it just worked. Why are you using a canvas?

 

because it is the only way that i know to create a slider to use as power bar or something like that, actually i was able to set it as i want and now is following the cube movement, but if there is a better way you're welcome.

 

Ok, glad you solved it.

 

thank's you a lot for your help
