using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class StatusIndicator : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField]
private RectTransform healthBarRect;
[SerializeField]
private Text healthText;

void Start()
{
    if (healthBarRect == null)
    {
        Debug.LogError("STATUS INDICATOR: No health bar object referenced!");
    }
    if (healthText == null)
    {
        Debug.LogError("STATUS INDICATOR: No health text object referenced!");
    }
}

public void SetHealth(int _cur, int _max)
{
    float _value = (float)_cur / _max;

    healthBarRect.localScale = new Vector3(_value, healthBarRect.localScale.y, healthBarRect.localScale.z);
    healthText.text = _cur + "/" + _max + "HP";
}

}

This is the script my students are using…

The health bar is a child of the status indicator, but the status indicator is childers to the player*

The problem is the status indicator is a child to the player. So when the player turns left it rotates 180 degrees as well.

You have two ways to fix this.

  1. Do not rotate Player, instead just use animation.
  2. Unparent the status indicator from the player and just let it move with it through script
