Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial - 3D Health Bar (NPC's)

Thank you ! +1 like

Bro amazing, i was struggling for hours, thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Is there a way to make this see from all sides? Or rotate depending of the view of the player while mantaining its scale and position in the world...

cewl! how to make it disappear by a distance? thanks!

could you do a tutorial on how to Only show health bar if the player is close to the enemy and can see it? it would be so helpfull :)

You helped me a lot! THANK YOU!!!!

If you like to make your own energy you should go to Avasva

If anyone is having problems with the health bar staying at zero, the issue is a bug that is preventing the Tick from firing. There is a workaround by connecting the "Event BeginPlay" node to the "Set Actor Tick Enabled" node and set it to true.

Thank you!!!!

so i did all of what you did and... i doesnt show up in game! :D

How could you make this only appear if your crosshairs was hovering over / near the enemy

Doesn't work 4.15.3 , the health bar stays at 0%

Great! Thx!

You are a legend mate!

14.5.3 I got no FLOAT / FLOAT ???

Thanks for your tuts tesla

This doesn't work in 4.15, so might be time to take it down.

Good tutorial thanks! I could have thought this out myself but did not!

My widget isnt appearing at all. I'm using 4.12.5

What can I use instead of event tick?

Very useful, thank you!

Thank you so much!!!

Hi! was wondering if you have tutorial of 3d widget infront of everything? I'm making a shooting game aim point, I'm making this in VR, so It's got to be on 3d widget, how can I make a 3d widget not being able to block?

Is there a way of setting up NPC health without using level blueprint, and Event Tick?

Your tutorials, all of them, are extraordinarilly useful. However, a constructive comment, is that when you build blueprints, the nodes are always so far apart, that we can't get a grasp of the general idea in one pause of the video. You take too much space making your network, all nodes could be closer, and it would help us follow even more, by seeing all elements as you build. Thans again for all the videos.

Appreciate this, u just saved many hours of my time
Thanks

Wait.. i haven't tried this yet, but from what i'm seeing, if you were to use this health bar on multiple AI's and shoot/hurt one of them, wouldn't all of the NPC health bars be affected if they all use the same one? meaning i would have to make a new blueprint widget for every new npcs that are spawned in the game? T_T

Hey! Thanks for your tutorial! Do you know how I can display multiple Widgets on top of each other? My idea was implementing "Cards" like in Hearthstone (or any TCG) with Widgets, but unfortunaly the Z-order always depends on the distance to the viewer, so even if some cards physically lay on top of other cards, when the lower cards are closer to the viewer (because of some angles), this cards get drawn on top of the upper cards, resulting in very strange looking results. Also I would like to get some sort of hover-function: When the mouse hovers a widget, scale it up a bit. But I don't find anything that works properly. :( Do you have any ideas? :)

just used this for 4.7.6 and it worked like a charm! Cheers!

Thanks for this mate! Question though. Im trying to do something similar with enemy variables and widgets. However, I'm trying to make an RPG and I don't want the progress bar to be placed over the enemy's head. Rather, I want it to be placed at the top left of the screen via the main program blueprint. I can't seem to get it to work. Can you assist? Thanks!

Tesla Dev  The health bar isnt moving but when I hit the F button the health drops to 0 after a while, it only goes from full to 0.

What is Float / Float does i dont get it. 

Subbed. Your videos are amazing man. But I do have a question. When I name the text block Health, the text is tiny. Thoughts?

Hi tesla, your tutorials are very clear and easy to follow, i just got two questions :
how can i make the bar reduce when i touch the other character whith the "first person projectile" ?
and how can i make that other character do an animation when the bar hits 0 ?
Thanks for the tutorials, they are really great !

Amazing tutorial. +1 Sub. Very easy to follow, thanks Tesla!

you got a sub

Hi Tesla, Great work again. How could you use this to display TEXT above the character and not a progress bar, as I am only able to :get" progress bar, not text field.

Cheers

How would you do this for firstperson??

Hey, what UE4 version are you running? I created the WidgetBlueprint and when I go into my character blueprint, I dont have that component option. There's no Experimental: Widget Blueprint

Tesla you rock! Thanks!
