Code:
mob/var
    tmp/updatehp()
obj/bars
    lifebar
        icon='healthbar.dmi'
        icon_state="100"
        layer=50


var/obj/bars/lifebar/A = new


mob/proc/updatehp()
    var/percentbar=round(src.Health/src.MaxHealth*30,1)
    if(percentbar>30) percentbar=30
    if(percentbar<0) percentbar=0
    src.overlays -= /obj/bars/lifebar
    A.icon_state=num2text(percentbar)
    src.overlays+= A
    sleep(1)
    src.overlays-= A
    src.updatehp()

I think no one understand your question. But if you need manual change npc HP with update huds, You need make a new proc.
mob/proc/TakeDamage2(var/mob/M,var/Damage)
    src.HP-=Damage//attacked mob lost some HP
    src<<"[M] attack you with [Damage] Damage!"
    M.updatehp()



mob/verb/HurtSomeOne(var/mob/M in world)
    M.TakeDamage2(src,10)

You're doing a lot of things wrong.

1. You're defining a procedure as a variable.
2. You're defining lifebar as a global object.
3. You're calculating a percent of 2 variables wrongly.
4. You're looping wrongly try looking up while() and for().

I prob missed something but I'm starting a game of strife.

I didn't mean to come off that way but maybe when o get home coding from a phone is bothersim.

And also for performance sake it would be wiser to only update objects such as life bars etc only when needed so for example you could make a procedure that alters your HP and then update the objects after from what I can see it seems like you're constantly calling the same procedure over and over in the same procedure which can cause a lot of issues because I don't think the previous procedure ever ends.
