The last tutorial on Scriptable Objects was fairly abstract.

Let’s shift gears and focus on something more visual, for a change: we’re going to improve the UI system we started earlier in this series by adding two features:

• whenever we select one or more units, we want their healthpoints to be displayed with floating healthbars
• also, we want to show some info on the currently selected units in a dedicated panel

Adding healthbars on selected units

In a previous tutorial, we implemented the selection mechanism. The goal of this new healthbar feature is, among other things, to provide additional info on the targeted units.

Fancy a quick mouth-watering teaser? ;)
