I was playing the Shadow of the Colossus level, and I was wondering how he made the HP Bar pop up/Disappear when you grab the sponge. I know how the HP bar works, but the emitting for it is what puzzles me. Did he make ALOT of capture objects for each bar to make it seem that the Bar is reducing while appearing and disappearing? Interesting stuff. Anyways, if you PM me how it works, I'll try all of your levels. Please PM it because Inbox is the only thing that keeps me organized when it comes to ideas.

I haven't played it but is it not just attatched to a really fast piston and the grab switch in the boss attatched to the piston is directional? EDIT: Forgot the PM part. I'll PM it now.

Made sense. Now I know how to make it. =)

Another way this could be done is to attach the health bar to a piston whose strength is set to a medium number, maybe 5 or so. Now along the path that the piston will pull the health bar put slices of dissolve material and glue each one to the frame. (Don't glue the dissolve material to the actual health bar as that needs to move freely when pulled by the piston.) This piston and dissolve block work is done off-screen or is covered up by a thin or thick layer. You activate the piston with a permanent switch so that it is always trying to pull the health bar. The health bar will move until it hits the first block of dissolve material. The pistons' strength is low so neither material will break but the dissolve block will keep the health bar stationary. Now connect set up your boss so that after each stage is completed that it one-shots the dissolve material blocking the health bar. This lets the piston pull the health bar until it hits the next dissolve block. You can have each boss stage successively dissolve the blocks and this will move the health bar at increments that you can control each time. I hope this makes sense. Good luck.

Yes it does. Thanks! I guess I'll try abusing the Dissolve material now because i literally never used any of them on my levels!
