What's the best way to create a healthbar which represents the percentage of health the player has left?
The only way I can think of doing this is to create 100 different images, each one representing 100% health, then 99%, 98% etc.
This would take me a very long time, and it will be very repetitive to create the 100 different images of the health bar at different levels, and then the script with a hundred different states to swap around the GUI Texture which is to be viewing how much health the player has.
Is there a more efficient way to set this up?
I use custom shaders when I need to display gauges and meters. Of course, it all depends on how you actually intend to display them (icons, straight meters, circular gauges, numbers, etc.).
The "best" way depends on how your healthbar looks like. The simplest way is just to scale your GUITexture. You can keep a background with no scale behind the scaled bar to have a better look.
