I’ve made a status bar, but the label on it is on the very end of the health bar and pushes the health bar offscreen. I want the text/label of the status bar to be in the middle of the status bar, where the health is, but I can’t find a way to do it. Help would be appreciated.

Maybe use the text sprite extension [https://github.com/riknoll/arcade-fancy-text](https://github.com/riknoll/arcade-fancy-text) to make your label then put it in the same position as via status bar. if it works your welcome. if not sorry 😢

For the status bar, I used the text extension to place it _above_ the status bar and it looks really good.
