This healthbar script is setting the color to a weird value?

Asked 398 views1 answers

So I made a healthbar script that works fine with tweening the position of the bar, but it does not set the color properly, I think it is setting the color to the math it is doing? Code:

game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Health,false)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name)
local humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
local healthbar = script.Parent.remaining
function checkcolor(health,maxhealth)
	print("calculating color")
	if(health > (maxhealth/3)*2.5) then
		print("setting color to green")
		healthbar.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0, 255, 119)
		end
	if (health <= (maxhealth/3)*2.5) then
		print("setting color to yellow")
		healthbar.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(255, 247, 14)
		end
	if (health <= (maxhealth/3)*2) then
		print("setting color to orange")
		healthbar.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(255, 144, 8)
		end
	if (health <= (maxhealth/3))then
		print("setting color to red")
		healthbar.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(255, 0, 0)
	end
end
function HealthChanged()
	local maxhealth = humanoid.MaxHealth -- for now
	local health = humanoid.Health
	script.Parent.Parent.healthoutof.Text = health.."/"..maxhealth
	script.Parent.Parent.healthoutof.healthoutof.Text = health.."/"..maxhealth
	checkcolor(health,maxhealth)
	healthbar:TweenSize(UDim2.new(health/maxhealth,0,1,0),"In","Linear",0.1)

end
HealthChanged()
humanoid.HealthChanged:connect(HealthChanged)

So if I do something like setting the health to 80, it should set the color to orange, but instead it sets the color to Color3.new(65025, 62985, 3570)

The reason it does this is because of the Color3 values. I don't know why, but the Color3 values have to be from 0 to 1, with 0 being 0, and 1 being 255. So, the simple answer is to divide each value in the Color3 value by 255.

game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Health,false)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name)
local humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
local healthbar = script.Parent.remaining
function checkcolor(health,maxhealth)
    print("calculating color")
    if(health > (maxhealth/3)*2.5) then
        print("setting color to green")
        healthbar.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0, 1, .46)
        end
    if (health <= (maxhealth/3)*2.5) then
        print("setting color to yellow")
        healthbar.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(1, .97, .05)
        end
    if (health <= (maxhealth/3)*2) then
        print("setting color to orange")
        healthbar.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(1, .56, .03)
        end
    if (health <= (maxhealth/3))then
        print("setting color to red")
        healthbar.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(1, 0, 0)
    end
end
function HealthChanged()
    local maxhealth = humanoid.MaxHealth -- for now
    local health = humanoid.Health
    script.Parent.Parent.healthoutof.Text = health.."/"..maxhealth
    script.Parent.Parent.healthoutof.healthoutof.Text = health.."/"..maxhealth
    checkcolor(health,maxhealth)
    healthbar:TweenSize(UDim2.new(health/maxhealth,0,1,0),"In","Linear",0.1)

end
HealthChanged()
humanoid.HealthChanged:connect(HealthChanged)

Let me know if anything else still goes wrong.

Alternatively you can use the new Color3 function Color3.fromRGB where you can have whole numbers.
