How do you use the Search function? Do I just type in something like "health bars" and click Go, finding vast amounts of wonderfully informative demonstrations on whatever I need?

Answer: Yes.

actually it is considering the Forum Search button can be your best friend. he can also search for demos since there are some that teach you how to code a health and chakra bar

Not really a health BAR but....

mob/Stat()
   stat("Health",health)

Nice and simple :)
When you make the person hit the other just use:
usr.health-=x

Obviously x is the substitute for an unknown number(to me.)
Very simple.

obj
    hudMeters
        health_01
            icon='meter_01.dmi'
            icon_state="0"
            layer=99
            New(client/c)
                screen_loc="1,13"
                c.screen+=src
        health_02
            icon='meter_02.dmi'
            icon_state="0"
            layer=99
            New(client/c)
                screen_loc="2,13"
                c.screen+=src
mob
    proc
        updateHealth()
            var/percent=round(src.health/src.maxhealth*100,10)
            if(percent>100) percent=100
            if(percent<0) percent=0
            for(var/obj/hudMeters/o in src.client.screen)
                o.icon_state=num2text(percent)
            spawn(10)
                src.updateHealth()

mob
    proc/LoadBars()
        new/obj/hudMeters/health_01(src.client)
        new/obj/hudMeters/health_02(src.client)
        src.updateHealth()

Then you'll want to put this after the login.

usr.LoadBars()

There you go just make the icons and change the names in code and you've got it :)


You can also do a Charka bar this way just trade out the health and maxhealth for chakra and max chakra or whatever variables are defined in your game.

Please don't be a necroposter, this thread was 2 years old.

And do not show bad snippets if possible - this should be called when needed, not self-looping: 
proc/TakeHp(...)
   HP -= Amt
   update_bar()
