I still did not get the hots style health/energy bar (energybar, haha :) ) to work with my hero. I did exactly as mikegamer said, but I still had the original health and energy over my units head. And before anyone asks, I have Hots installed. There must be something I have missed. I tried to compare Zagara unit (Hots hero unit) to my Queen of Blades (Original hero unit from WoL) but did not find anything relevant. A Hots hero unit has modified health + energy bar over head AND a name (for example "Zagara")
Hmm thats very odd, i've done it countless of times in my maps for my heroes.
Go into the actor of the unit you want to have a custom health bar for.
While being in the actor of the unit locate
(Basic) Combat: Custom Unit Statu Frame. And fill in the path with this link HotS_UnitStatus/KerriganHeroUnitStatusFrameTemplate
To force the health/energy bar to always be on you need to locate the
(Basic) UI: Status Bar Forced On +. And check on Life and Energy.
Now you need to hide the default Health bar, or else it will overlap and look very ugly.
Still under actor find the Actor: Unit Flags +. and check the Suppress default status bar.
And it really should work now for you. If not check that you have Hots dependences activated if not. this will not work. And my guess is 100% that you do not have it activated.
IMPORTANT! You must have Hots Dependenes activated for your map, or this will not work since the custom health bar is from Swarm.

You need to go in under your units Actor and find
(Basic) Combat: Custom Unit Status Frame. Under that you will need to fill in this link HotS_UnitStatus/KerriganHeroUnitStatusFrameTemplate
You also need to set the Status bare foced on. So find (Basic) UI: Status Bar Forced On + and check on Life and Energy.
After that you will want to hide the default Health bar. For that you need to find the Actor: Unit Flags + and check the Suppress default status bar.
And Voila you have a sweet Hero Health bar permanently over your heros head.
and you can always adjust the bars offset with the UI: Bar offset and UI: Bar width.
Hope it helps
