What do you mean, bitmap healthbar?
I do have a bitmap that can turn green or red depending on your health,
If you''re interrested I could post it here for you...

What I think Synditech is talking about is making an image that he can substitute for the default red health bar, the image would get smaller as health was taken away and have a gradient fill. Right? I don't know about Synditech but I would be interested in your color changing health bar. :)

Hmm, ever done a quick RESOURCES-search for "health" ??? ;)

Results are here

Just found the topic interesting, never had a desire to search for health bar resources before. ;)

I have done the search and played with the resources, i had them working in the old stable release but they dont work in the new stable release, i think its parent class was changed, but i dont understand inheritance enough to correct it.
