I do not know how to animate a basic health bar and I would like to import my own images. What type of images should these be? Should it be a PNG picture or something else? I mean I could buy assets but for some reason the store is in euros and I have pounds, so that’s not going to work. It’s strange too because I’m in the UK and yet the entire store is in euros. Maybe that’s just how it’s supposed to be.
Anyway, I’m sure other people have asked this question, but I would just like to know where to get started, like what software should I use to make my health bar image. Also, how much images will be needed? Like will I need an empty health bar and a full health bar? Will I need the health bar frame and the inside of the health bar to be separate images so I can layer them? How is this supposed to work? I’m not worried about the code for now. I can just ask that separately elsewhere. I’m just concerned with getting everything set up. Also, when importing assets, I’m assuming I can just create a new folder in assets (within my project) and put all of my images in there, but I could be wrong.
I looked up various videos and tutorials but of course they never mentioned how to import custom images for newbies such as myself and they magically had detailed and appropriate pictures for every scenario.
