Unity Tutorial 09

 For the unity task this week I decided to follow a tutorial on YouTube to make a health bar.

Link to video: Health Bar

Image source: Health Bar

 

 Overall, I learned how to make a health bar, but I also learned some new thing as well. In the tutorial I learned how to make the bar and heart image into a texture type, so that I could start making the health bar. I also learned more about creating an empty object, resizing them and how to transform them. When I finished making the health bar, I learned that by changing its value I can choose how much life my avatar loses and how to change the health bar color.

 

I enjoyed making the health bar It was something that I definitely needed in my game. I need to change some of the settings to make it suit my avatar when it loses life.

 

I found it difficult to do some steps in the video, like making some of the “create empty objects” I was able to make it but when I tried to resize it wouldn’t resize into the health bar box.

 

I look forwarding to implementing the health bar into my avatar so that when it collides with certain obstacle’s it will lose some life.
