Let’s say that I’m making a Bee Bossfight, and I want to make a Status Bar alternates between the colours Brown and Yellow, with 20 parts of length of the healthbar being yellow and the next 20 segments being brown, all until it finishes. Is that possible and how would that be done?

I hope this helps answer your question! 😀

I’ll definitely keep this in mind for future bosses that I make. It might be a bit too late now because I don’t feel like reworking the entire healthbar, but this is still a very good guide!

Yeah it can be _daunting_ doing it from the ground up! The customization is worth it though 😁  
Glad I was able to help 🙏
