Filled Sprites

[dohjoka]

Am new to NGUI , I liked the way you can change fill amount of a filled sprite in a game , I know I can do that manually in the inspector but how would I do it through scripting?
I am making a health bar and I want to make a script that reduces the the sprite due to damage.
I can't seem to get to that UIScript and to that fillAmount variable.

thanks.

UISprite.fillAmount

Thank you ArenMook,

you may call me a noob but if I want to access this variable from an outside script how would I initialize all the components in order to do that ?

again I appreciate your help.

Same way you access any other component. You must get it first:

UISprite sprite = GetComponent<UISprite>();
sprite.fillAmount = 0.5f;
