Health bar
A bar that shows how much health or energy is left. It empties from the side, or from the bottom up.
What a health bar is
A number drawn as a bar. 100 fills it. 0 empties it. Use it for the hero's health, a boss's health, fuel, or a power meter that charges up.
Health bar appears in Advanced and Expert mode.
How to add one
- Switch to Advanced at the top if you are in Simple.
- Click + Add object, then New, then Health bar.
- Set Full at to 100 and Starts at to 100.
- Pick a Colour (green) and an Empty colour (dark red).
- Add rules that take some away and a rule for when it is empty.

Bar is empty is not red. It stays true while the bar is empty, so the second rule restarts the level before it can fire twice. If you only hide the hero instead, add Only the first time.
