Not sure if anyone ever thought of this, but I was playing around in the editor, and found this little trick out.

I'm sure Nash, Doyle and some others will get it right away, but I don't understand it. What'a the trick/purpose?

Well if you ever made a bar, you would remember for each increment, you would need to lower it manually, well what this does is you make your one animation, 100%, to the 100th frame which would be sized down to nothing, from there, say you want to show 90%, you would go to, Frame 10, and copy and paste that frame on your 90% effect. Less work, more efficient bars.

I see. That sounds like it would cut down on memory. Cool.  |

Frame 0 shows the bar in its full 100%
Frame 100 shows the bar in 0% (not visible anymore)
because the entire animation is 100F, each 1F will show 1% difference in the bar.
Example, 50F will show the bar at 50%, frame 25 will show the bar in 75%.
Back when we first started making HP Bars, we had to manually size down the bar, and slide it over. This would make certain %'s seem choppy.
With this method, you can go to any desired frame, create a new section in that animation, and copy how the VFX bar is at that moment =)
Meaning it'll make your %'s for the HP Bar display seem that much more professional. More fluid and "purdy".
