Best practice: healthbars
Hi guys,
Well I'm sufficiently frustrated trying to figure this out on my own so I thought I'd reach out here.
I want to add healthbars over my characters heads. In a normal situation this is easy. You convert world coordinates to screen coordinates. But because you can't use the "screenspace- overlay" canvas, I feel like this has gotten trickier.
One idea would be to use a "screenspace- camera" canvas, but the canvas would need to be perfectly snapped to the camera frustum. And I have no idea how to do that or if any other complications from doing that would arise.
I did try rendering a screenspace camera to a render texture and attaching the render texture to the center eye anchor. But because I couldn't snap it into place correctly, and also maybe because the render plane was not the right dimensions, the result was WAY off.
Has anyone successfully done this??
