Health display "have 80 hp"

[crowww]

I was wondering how would I go about placing a script on a game object that would say “you have 80 health” based on this script. I’m not looking to make a GUI but just so that it will display “you have 80 HP” on a game object.

var hitpoints = 100;
var damage + 20;

function update () {
hitpoints -= damage:}
{
debug.Log(“your health is”) +hitpoints+
(“!”);
}

I really think you best go study some of the basics of programming.

http://www.unityscript.com/lessons1/basics.php might give you a start
plus a google search for “unity scripting tutorials”.

Regarding your code (please format it next time)

This line is fine and will cause no problems

var hitpoints = 100;

You can’t assign things like this when initializing a field.

var damage + 20;

The correct way to assign damage is this:

var damage = 20;

Now this wont work either, it has to be Update with a capital U, most programming languages are case sensitive

function update () 
{ 
This will work fine but it won't do what you want. This will take damage away from hitpoints almost instantly. Not the behaviour i expect you want.

    hitpoints -= damage:
} 

And this? Well this is dead code and would cause an error, why have you put curly braces around it?

{ 
Also this line, what on earth are you doing, this is no way syntactically correct.
   debug.Log("your health is") +hitpoints+ ("!"); 
}

Now i have no idea what you want to achieve or how you are doing it, but i assume you want something like this:

var hitpoints = 100;
var damage = 20;

function ApplyDamage(){
   hitpoints -= damage
   Debug.Log("Your health is now " + hitpoints);
}

With this, what ever causes damage to your player will simply call ApplyDamage(). But judging by your code, you would not even understand how to do this.
