Code:

    proc
        UpdateHealth()
            if(!src.client) return
            var/a = round((src.HP/src.MaxHP*100))
            for(var/obj/Life/o in src.client.screen)
                if(a >= 69 )
                    if(o.type == /obj/Life/Life1 || o.type == /obj/Life/Life2) continue
                    else
                        o.icon_state ="[a]"
                else if(a < 69 && a >= 38)
                    if(o.type == /obj/Life/Life3)
                        if(o.icon_state)
                            o.icon_state=""
                    if(o.type == /obj/Life/Life1) continue
                    else
                        o.icon_state ="[a]"
                else if(a < 38 && a >= 0)
                    if(o.type == /obj/Life/Life2 || o.type == /obj/Life/Life3)
                        if(o.icon_state)
                            o.icon_state=""

Problem description:
Can someone help to see what's wrong? I'm trying to update a multi tiled health bar icon except it's not running so smoothly. The first part of the health bar updates well for a few seconds before turning blank, letting the middle part of the health bar updates, and then returns, making some kind of weird shift gap between the two parts.

That doesn't even support multi tiled health bars.

I would recommend this library to help you with multi-tiled HUD health bars.

I've been using it for years now and I'm very content with it. Don't forget you can also use the interface Bars control to do something similar.
