UE4/UE5 Dynamic Health Bars

This asset is designed to inject healthbar functionality into your project within minutes. Extremely easy to set up and use, with a plethora of options to customise the way it looks and behaves in your own game. You can tweak colours, size, actor name and level, status effect icons, number of segments and visibility options (such as hidden on full health, or hidden after X seconds of not losing health). You can also add additional bars to represent extra stats such as mana, energy and stamina.
