updating visual changes to player health

Question

Hi guys. I have a question. I have made a healthbar sc`enter code here`ript using JavaScript. However, even though my debuglog shows my damage taken and I can see visual changes when I set my enemy damage really high, how can I edit my script to display damage taken over time, not just display 0hp when the playerhealth is empty?

I will attach my script below:

 #pragma strict
 var hpBar : GUIStyle;
 var bgimage : Texture2D;
 var fgimage : Texture2D;
 
 static var hpDamage : int = 3;
 
 static var playerHealth = 100.0;
 
 function Update(){
 }
 function Start(){
 }
 
 function OnGUI(){
 GUI.BeginGroup(Rect(10,10,256,32));
 GUI.Box(Rect(0,0,256,32)bgimage,hpBar);
 GUI.BeginGroup(Rect(0,0,playerHealth*256,32));
 GUI.Box(Rect(0,0,256,32),fgimage,hpBar);
 GUI.EndGroup();
 GUI.EndGroup();
 }
 
 static function Enemy1Attack1(){
 playerHealth -= hpDamage;
 }

In other words.. you are over-complicating this.. All you really need is:

 function OnGUI(){
 GUI.Box(Rect(0,0,256,32),bgimage,hpBar);
 GUI.Box(Rect(0,0,playerHealth*2.56,32),fgimage,hpBar);
 }

I also added the decimal (2.56 rather than 256) to fix the scale...

Here's the result:

Thank you! Figured it was something small. I will test it out when I get home.. Its an ordeal trying to type a script formatted from an android phone, muchless, getting my phone to accurately recognize text fields.

Ok I made the suggested changes. After a delay, the health bar shrinks into the upper left corner. How can I make it so it only is reduced from the right side of the bar?

@paradoxxx Can you post a screenshot of what happens? The code works like it should, maybe it's something else?
