Health Bar 1.0.0

HealthBar brings a clean, MMO-style health bar system to Rust — without cluttering the screen or spamming players.

Whenever a player damages an NPC, animal, vehicle, turret, Bradley, or helicopter, a smooth animated health bar appears — showing:

• name

• distance

• remaining HP

• percentage

• color-coded status

Bars automatically fade away after combat, and players can toggle the feature individually if they prefer a clean screen.

Everything is configurable — distance, icons, entities, UI style, and behavior.

Perfect for PvE servers, PvP arenas, boss events, and servers that want cleaner combat feedback.

What it does ?

• Detects combat targets and shows health bars in real time

• Works with:

  • NPCs

  • Animals

  • Bradley APC

  • Patrol Helicopter / CH47

  • Vehicles (boats, minicopters, modular cars, trains, etc.)

  • Turrets + SAM sites

• Shows:

  • name

  • distance

  • numeric health

  • percentage

  • entity-type icon

• Smart visibility system (time-based, distance aware)

• Fully configurable UI (position, colors, toggles)

• Per-player toggle command

• Admin tools for tuning distance + reloading config

• Safe, optimized, timer-driven updates (no UI flicker, no spam)
