    What values are you passing into the control using? A progress bar accepts a range from 0-1, thus curHealth (as used by the scripted health tracking) would have to be divided by 100 in order to fall into the range the control is expecting.
    NAMEOFCONTROL.setValue(1); // yields a full bar (bar size determined by extent of control
NAMEOFCONTROL.setValue(0.5); // yields half a bar
NAMEOFCONTROL.setValue(0.25); // yields 1/4 of a bar
NAMEOFCONTROL.setValue(0); // no bar, but does render the end pieces if using an array of images for the bar image
