i am currently making a fighting game that was going quite well until i hit into a problem. i need to use a window to display the health of the player in relation to the max health of the player. the max health changes as does the health, i cannot find a way to do this health bar.

sorry, sorted it out now. (i made health a percentage of the max health and used that).

To make it easier to read how about this?
Your health bar is currently (lets say) red, layer 1000.
Make another health bar (bark blue) thats always at 100%, at layer 999.

That way you can see the current health and the max health at the same time.
