There is in fact. Though, it's not that easy. You need to upload sprites of this kind of HP bar to platform builder. You have to create sprites for every single percentage. Create a timeline which checks the HP of the player(s) and create conditionals to change the HUD sprite. It's time consuming, but possible, and worth the end result.

I hope, there will be an easier way soon! Maybe an option to change the HUD, HP-Bar and more?

Yes. I'd love TingThing to make a better HUD modifier.

This is a big problem with the hud editing : we must do it throught commands, there's no visual editor.

That is what is frustrating with this new HUD editor. The one thing 7.0 failed on.

I wanted to have a visual editor but I didn't have the time to make it. So I almost didn't do HUD modifications at all.

Oh. Well, the next update, I want you to focus on a HUD, and commands/conditionals that check the distance of objects from each other in pixles. That's what I want to see in the next update.

How many time it would take ?

I can answer that for him - he doesn't know. But I also am confused, TingThing. Why do you often say that you ran out of time to add something to a PB update, when you don't have any time limits or anything? You could have released 7.0 a month and a half later than the day it was released.

by that logic, TingThing could do these updates just once a year - no one's rushing him, right?
I'm pretty happy with how he's managing things right now. :)
