Using with EntityManager

Using with EntityManager and Attributes​

Use this workflow when your project uses SoftKitty shared data:

With this mode enabled, HealthBar values can auto-sync from the bound entity attributes.

1) Enable Integration Switches​

In Project Settings > SoftKitty > Health Bar System:

  • In Module Setting, enable Use SoftKitty EntityManager and Attributes.
  • In Over-time Effect Setting, enable Use SoftKitty Over Time Effect.

2) Bind Bar Attributes​

Open BarSettings and map the following fields to your Attribute UID entries:

  • Current Value Attribute
  • Max Value Attribute
  • Overlay Value Attribute
  • Overlay Max Value Attribute

Overlay is commonly used for shield-like extra layers displayed over the main bar.

3) Bind Character Entity​

On each character prefab/object:

At runtime, the health bar reads values from the linked entity.

4) Over-time Effect Display​

To render Over-time Effect icons on bars:

  • keep Use SoftKitty Over Time Effect enabled
  • enable Show Over-time Effect in the relevant bar/overhead preset

Validation Checklist​
