 var HealthBar1 : GameObject;
 var HealthBar2 : GameObject;
 var HealthBar3 : GameObject;
 var Health = 3;
 
 function Update(){

 if(Health < 1){
 Destroy(gameObject)
 }
 
 if(Health == 1){
 HealthBar1.active = true;
 HealthBar2.active = false;
 HealthBar3.active = false;
 
 }
 if(Health == 2){
 HealthBar1.active = true;
 HealthBar2.active = true;
 HealthBar3.active = false;
 
 }
 if(Health == 3){
 HealthBar1.active = true;
 HealthBar2.active = true;
 HealthBar3.active = true;
 
 }
 }

Note- This is not a GUI Health bar, its actual cubes/GameObjects.

This is just the health bar, I made it for an older game. Make 3 "HealthBar's" side by side, labile them 1 from 3 (I textured them green to represent health, And I put a red background behind the green health bars. I also put them over the enemy) And then assign the Health Bars to the script. Now all you have to do is make a damage script in it. Hope this helps

I think this is really poor design and does more harm than good when someone is trying to learn proper coding.

This technique has personally worked perfectly fine for me for every game I made. I know its not the best way to do it, but it works so I thought I would try and help.

What if enemy has 3000 hitpoints?

In this case it doesn't, And that's why I posted this, But If so I would Assign every bar to represent 300-500 damage maybe. But that's not how I use this health bar Script, I have a defence system. The higher the Defence I set it to, The less damage it gets taken off. Better enemy's have better defences.

@Lovrenc best form when offering critique would be to lead by example.
