hey, i wanna add energy bars to the enemys in my space game but i'm a wee bit stuck as how to go about it. each enemy has it's own max hitpoints, current hitpoints , etc. i tried something like scaleimage energybar,maxhitpoint/currenthitpoints,1 anyhoo, everytime i scaled the image it scaled it based on it last size, whcih is a problem. i'm too used to 3d any ideas/help would be magic :D
