Within the GUI editor (access it by pressing F10) you can add the GuiHealthBarHud to your PlayGui:

I believe you can edit it to show energy as well (if you're using that for your mana).

I'd start by looking at engine/t3d/fps/guiShapeNameHud.cpp (Shows name and health bar over player's head in world). It could be extended to show both health and energy (which could double as "mana" if you wish).

@Mack - that's actually a "HUD" element, not rendered in world-space. But the one three slots down is rendered in world-space over the unit.

@Richard: Ah, yes, you're correct, I was thinking HUD and not world space.
