It would be easier, and more efficient just to use an overlay for a health bar.

hi, i'm currently also working on a major project, and i know using overlays are simple, however, due to my lack of knowledge on how to actually make a health bar properly using overlays, is there any way someone could help me with this because my health bar keeps scaling towards the center.

here:

' Display the Player's Health Bar
PlayerHealthBar = Mogre.OverlayManager.Singleton.GetByName("Core/DebugOverlay2")
PlayerHealthBar.Show()

i only show it, and then scale it:

If (inputKeyboard.IsKeyDown(MOIS.KeyCode.KC_0)) Then

PlayerHealthBar.SetScale(PlayerHealthBar.ScaleX - 0.001, 1)

End If

the result goes like this

before:
health bar:
============

after:
health bar:
----> =============

it keeps moving instead of staying stationary

the result i'm looking for is something like

Start :==============
reduce1 :===========
reduce2 :=======
reduce3 :=====
Finish :

Instead of

Start : =============
reduce1 : ==============
reduce2 : =============
reduce3 : ========
Finish :
