HELP with GuiVehicleHealthBar.cc

This file is a collaberations of the guiHealthBarHud.cc found in /engine/game/fps. Mixed with Labrat vert early vehicle health/energy bars. The Idea is to make a new gui element that will display the current vehicles health . Anyway I am lost this is what I have so far

/**
   A basic health bar control.
   This gui displays the damage value of the current PlayerObjectType
   control object.  The gui can be set to pulse if the health value
   drops below a set value. This control only works if a server
   connection exists and it's control object is a PlayerObjectType. If
   either of these requirements is false, the control is not rendered.

         F32 alpha = mFmod(time,mPulseRate) / (mPulseRate / 2.0);
         mDamageFillColor.alpha = (alpha > 1.0)? 2.0 - alpha: alpha;
      }
      else
         mDamageFillColor.alpha = 1;

   // Render damage fill %
   RectI rect(updateRect);
   if(mBounds.extent.x > mBounds.extent.y)
      rect.extent.x *= mValue;
   else
   {
      S32 bottomY = rect.point.y + rect.extent.y;
      rect.extent.y *= mValue;
      rect.point.y = bottomY - rect.extent.y;
   }
   dglDrawRectFill(rect, mDamageFillColor);
   
   // Border last
   if (mShowFrame)
      dglDrawRect(updateRect, mFrameColor);
}

This way it will not compile
I added a new getShapeDataBlock() function that will return the mDataBlock variable (cause it wasn't public) this function was copy and paste of the GameBase::getDataBlock(). this is the change with the new function

if(mDisplayEnergy)
	{
		mMaxDamage = obj2->getShapeDataBlock()->maxDamage;
		mDamageTaken = obj2->getDamageLevel();
		mValue =  mMaxDamage - mDamageTaken;
	
	}

But I can't get it working. Maybe I am confused on how the bar is drawn. Could someone please explain what I am missing!!!
