If you require 2d the simple ink and box commands will suffice.

If your mixing 3d and 2d you will need to create a 3d panel and update its texture with the ink and box commands when the health changes, otherwise you will pull down your frames per second in your main loop by always using the ink and box commands when they only need to used at the call of the health changing.

yes thats correct, using an offscreen bitmap to make the texture will be part of the function.

ok now that i think i've got it right...i'll have to add in the bitmaps and HUD first haven't gotten around to it yet...well really i have to make it. but i need to be able to replace the mouse with a bitmap i made so that when i move the mouse the bitmap moves instead, becoming the mouse...its just to make a cool effect and will be useful in the RPG me and my friend are making along with a RTS i plan to make after this FPS. this is 3D btw and i heard 2D doesn't like 3D much.
