How to make a boss bar!

Community Made Guides

Disclaimer: This only works if you have ONE gadget.

What you need: One game overlay, one property, a TON of barrels, and a trigger!

  1. Build your bossfight. If you want, refer to my guide. The Toxic way to make a good bossfight! Done? Now move on to the next step.
  2. Get a game overlay. Customize it however you want, but don’t put anything in the default text. Make it a text overlay, and active on game start. Block time! First block:

    Experiment with the number of green squares to fill the whole screen.
    The number that you’re subtracting that property is the number of damage that the gadget does. The boss health is the amount of your health in the boss (health + shield.)
    Second block:
    This teleports you to the next part when the bossfight is done. It doesn’t do anything in this guide, but it works for now.

  3. Property time! Get the property.

The default value is the health in your sentry.
4. Get the barrels. When they are damaged, broadcast on channel, sentryDamageBar1. Here’s the amount of barrels: sentry health/gadget damage. Place them inside the sentry, below in layers, and wow! You have a boss bar. I’m missing something…

Is there a specific reason you used barrels as the props that are damaged?

3

No, they just fit in the Gim.

4

What if different gadgets with different damage outputs destroys the barrel?

5

Yes. Then you have to adjust the game overlay blocks, so that the property decreases by the damage of the gadget.

6

Yeah, but HOW will we determine how much damage the projectile deals?

7

Dude, it’s just the gadget damage. The barrels have one health. Like, a legendary qportal does 232 damage, so you decrement by 232.
Oh, I get what you mean. This only works when you have one gadget.

THEN POINT THAT OUT ON YOUR GUIDE.

This thing ruins the boss bar example if some boss battle games have multiple gadgets you can use.

Yes.

Great Guide! I think if you thought hard enough and long enough, though, you could figure out how to make it for multiple gadgetzs.

12

I’ll try, but no promises…
