GML How to make healtbar to stay in right corner? [solved]

[Mikapo]

Hey,
I would like to code the hp bar to stay at the top right but I don't know how to make it work.
Any help.

My code is:
draw_sprite(healtbar_empty,1,obj_player.x-380,obj_player.y - 170);
draw_sprite_ext(healtbat_full,1,obj_player.x-380,obj_player.y - 170,obj_player.hp/25,1,0,c_white,1);
draw_sprite(healtbar_border,1,obj_player.x - 380,obj_player.y - 170);

I am using gamemaker studio 2.

Use the Draw GUI event to draw it, then you draw at screen coordinates (which are always the same no matter the position of views etc) rather than room coordinates.

What exactly is the problem with that code? That's the most important part of the problem you should share information about when creating a topic here. Also, do you want the healthbar to stay in the top-right corner of the room or that of the player?

From what I can tell, it's probably the former. In that case, you can make use of the Draw GUI event. Note that unlike the regular Draw events, you need on-screen coordinates in that event. Check out the manual for further reference.

Hi there, I'm no expert but looking at your code you've specified your x and y to be the players x and y position, hence probably why it's moving around? If it's the top right corner of the screen you're after then you're probably best using room width with some padding for x and a number for the y.
eg;
draw_sprite(healtbar_empty,1,room_width - 250, 70);
