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
