Hello fellow Mappers,

as some of you may have noticed while playing the Campaign, Hero Units have a custom Status Bar, called 'KerriganHeroUnitStatusFrameTemplate', found in the Actor settings of the Hero.

Now, I have been playing around with it and noticed that when you add shields to the Hero via a behavior (like Tosh's Psi Shield), then the Status Bar changes slightly and "tries" to display both the Life and Shield Points of the Hero in one bar, but there is no actual 'bar' for the shields.

I've tried looking into the Template in the UI-Editor to figure out why this certain thing is missing, but god, I have no idea where to start. So, does anyone know if there is a way to fix this?

The issue you are having has to do with the status health bar when the shield and health bar merge its because of the UnitStatusShieldedHealthBar as of right now there is no way to get just a shield bar to my knowledge you can find some example maps Here

as for the bar texture not being shown there i havent been able to figure that out

UnitStatusBar - for a generic one
UnitStatusHealthBar - for the health bar
UnitStatusEnergyBar - for the energy bar
UnitStatusShieldedHealthBar - for a combination of the health and shield bar

thank you for your assistance. I have managed to find these entries. Now, I don't intend to hide the Life Bar when Shields shall be displayed. It's fine as it is now, but it would be nice to have a bar for the Shield Points, too. It seems like there is actually nothing in the UI-Files referencing Shield Points. Just the Health Bar is altered, that's all.

I wonder if it's possible to add a Shield Point component?

If you go to the bottom of the page i linked ahli634 has a map that has a working shield health bar check it out i think its probably what your looking for.

            <ReductionColor val="255,0,0" index="0"/>
            <ReductionShown val="true" index="0"/>
            <IncreaseDuration val="500" index="0"/>
            <DecreaseDuration val="2000" index="0"/>

Anyone find a parameter for just a shield bar? Or is there any way to find all of the available parameters in the UI editor?

Also, I have another question. I see the UI editor reference textures that I do not know where to find, IE:

               <Texture val="@UI/HealthBar"/>

Where do I find these textures?
