Guihealthbar

by William James · in Torque Game Engine · 06/23/2007 (11:05 pm) · 2 replies

Is there any way to change the appearance of the GUIHEALTHBAR? I want to give it more a glass look instead of the flat look. Should I just create the glass appearance in photoshop like the image below and just place it over the regular healthbar ? I'll give it a try. Any ideas...................

The way I changed mine was just make another one similar to the one I saw in the demo, then gave it a name and changed the name in the script then use the guiEditor to resize it to fit the health bar, and then save it to the playGui.

I'll have to upload an example. You can size it, how you want it!

Thanks I figured it out last night. I used one of the trusty old photoshop glass button tutorials and download the superpng plugin and created an overlay. This is what I got. Still tweaking alot.
