Dynamic Health Boss Bars
Turn any NPC into a boss with a fully decorated boss health bars
Features
- Tool Gun integration: set the boss name, Health, Max Health and bar color per NPC
- Ornate boss bar: gold frame with gems and blades, name flourishes, glossy animated fill, 10% segment notches, HP numbers and percentage
- Hit shake: the bar shakes and flashes every time the boss takes damage, scaled to how hard the hit was
- Ghost health: a lighter ghost segment follows the damage, then gradually drains away
- Death fade-out: a smooth fade-out animation plays when the boss dies
- Up to 4 boss bars at once: they stack neatly at the top and slide into place as bosses come and go
- Adapts to your HUD: bars scale with your screen resolution, with adjustable size and position
- Overhead mode: move ALL boss bars from the HUD to above the NPCs' heads (per-player option)
- Chat message: optionally announce "[Boss] Name has been defeated by Player!" when a boss dies
- Fun mode: a skull icon above the boss and a glowing outline you can see through walls, with an on-screen marker that shows the boss's name and distance
