So many steps. Finally was able to do it though. It can feel overwhelming to see the video at first. From the beginning there are so many steps ... and when you're new to BB it's very intimidating. But I finally made the thing work so thanks for the video.
I think it would be easier to just create 3 health bars in Photoshop, then have 3 Game UI’s with each one on, and use an Event Observer to move to the next UI.
for the pixelated heart, probably using scale down and then scale up again with some algorithm that doesn't do antialiasing would do the job, maybe applying some b&w filter at the end
This is a pretty buggy solution. Sometimes the damage doesn't register and when the character finally dies and I try to play again by clicking the in-game restart button, the player will either instantly die or the restart button won't work. I also tried setting the restart button to get back to the main menu, however, once there and clicking play, the player will instantly die.
Hello, yes i'm facing the same problem, that's because when game restarts, points are already set to 3 and the UI takes you to the game over screen! please let me know if you found any solution to this, thanks!
Nice tutorial. However, there's a problem. 1. When the player Collide with Enemy, the enemy destroyed as well. Any solution to do to make the enemy not destroyed when player collide with enemy? 2. I want player have short time (3 seconds) invulnerability after take a damage. How should i do? 3. I want to set the maximum health for my player. I know there's a way to do that, but how? That's up for now and sorry for my not so good English.
Zach, I understand everything, but one question please, should we drop the fireball heath action in every enemy's defeated box? isnt it too much? what if we have a lot of enemies?
hey can any one help ,i am not able to combine it with a second chance button where i have set an checkpoint a purchase button but not able to go back to the checkpoint when i followed this tutorial
ok how did you get the "RESTART" to WORK in the game over after you did all this because after I did all this the restart didn't work any more and the game never resets.
@@Buildbox i really need help, i checked through the video 3 times, and for some reason, the health bar doesn't decrease, and i never die! I am looking for somebody to help me.
It doesn't work well for me... It works only at an enemy type. I've got a bug that in the Game Over screen I can't get back to a Checkpoint. It simple get crazy and just closing to work again and at an only enemy type.
could one use this trick to make objects that change their image each time they're hit? e.g. when you have an arkanoid/breakout style game, some bricks take more than one hit to break and they appear more and more cracked till they break/disappear. Is there some other way to do it? Could probably place bricks one under the other, but without a way to group the bricks that are stacked in Z-order and then clone the whole group, it would be cumbersome to make levels.
Hey can you show how we can perform different action according to touching style. Like if i press 1 time it perform one action and if i press same button 2 times another action
I've followed the steps and sometimes the defeat animations does double damage. Instead of only registering as one hit it sometimes gets a double hit. It's not everytime, just sometimes. Any help?
So it's giving you two points instead of one? That's really odd. Try messing with the oversized collision shape. That might have something to do with it. (Zack)
Hey zack ....how do i make pop up window ....like when i prees buy and i dont have the mony a window shows up to tell me watch the video to get rewarded ....respon please
I better tell people if you use this for your health bar you CANNOT use coins collection as your score for leaderboards it won't let you. You have to use distance.
Thanks for the tutorial Zack! I just updated my game Halloween Smash & Run using the heart health bar setup and it works great! If you're looking for some Halloween games to review, would be honoured if you could check out Halloween Smash & Run: ua-cam.com/video/10FQKt3KJTM/v-deo.html Built with Buildbox 2.2.9, Cheers!
Someone help me please.. I want add botton when user click this boutton It will earn points Is this possible? I will creat a simple app with buildbox Thank you

Hey just found the solution, you have to set the event observer's event type to "session points'' instead of "total points", hope this helps!
Strangely for me it also adds another healthbar when I kill my first enemy.
ilyas, my head almost exploded haha, thanks a lot man you saved me :)
Please help me again, I can’t move an Action in Buildbox there is only Object and Charakter
Fantastic - I am wondering though how I can put a medic-Icon in a scene and gain life to my healthbar.........Any idea?

Is this seriously STILL the health bar solution 1 year later?
Not with 3.0 :)
Buildbox noice! ETA on 3.0? Will our current games (2D) be transferable? A+ on all fronts then :)

What is a “font book”? Is it on a Windows laptop?
I think you can just install the font normally on windows, just open the ttf file and click install.
