creating healthbars above units
« on: December 08, 2013, 06:50:00 PM »
Hello,

fairly new to NGUI, so sorry if this question sounds noobish. I went through some of the tutorials from both here, and Burgzerg. I have a progress bar added, and can easily adjust it. however, I want the health bar to display above the units, such as the example image below. However, when I try to parent the progress bar to the unit, it drags everything into the camera. is their a way around this, or an alternative?

Thank you,
Alex Moreno

Anchor the widget specifying your game object as the target. Check the new layout system video I released for more info.

Thank you,

it seems to of worked, however, if i unequip the anchor, and re-equip, sometimes it doesn't seem to catch. but other then that it works. thank you.

edit:
