Setting an active to a counter health bar?

[Mdsx]

Is there anyway to set an active object to change it's position when the Horizontal counter bar subtracts? For example

I have a head icon and I have a health bar. The health bar is synced up to the players health and I want the head icon to be synced up to the edge of the health bar and follow it as it subtracts. I know there are some tricks I can use to make it look like it's syncing up but I need it to actually be dependent on the healths current value.

It's subtracting from the right.

Like this
Left to right Frame 1 Frame 2

Hopefully I explained that well enough.

Always

-Set X of Counter to value("counter")*20+(starting position of counter)

EDIT: Err, did I miss that the counter really is an active? In that case, use an Alt value or something

EDIT 2: oh, and if your frames are getting smaller, just put the hotspot at the far right on all frames and always set the position at the face...

No the counter is the actual counter object, it's the head part that is an active. I just need the head active to follow the counter when it subtracts down. I know I could do an animation but that's like 300 something frames.

Edit -

Ignore this, i posted a solution without testing but the counter works differently to how i was expecting when in Horizontal bar mode (resizes rather than fixed width).

just set it at an xposition, and move the position relative to the counter.

if you have counter from 0-100, it might look something like this

Always set position to 200 - counter

Yeah, sorry i posted above without testing then later when i tested the counter works differently to how i thought.

What i did to get it working now was just -

Set the counter to Horizontal Bar mode with From Left (Display Count), also set its hot spot and action point to center or whatever needed.

Always -
Active:
Bring to front (stops a glitch on resize)
Set X Position of Active to: X Right( "Counter" )

For the active object (head graphic) and then just use the counter with 0-100 and you can resize the counter to any size needed. Then just set to whatever Y position wanted so you could have it overlayed or above etc.

Atom you are seriously a life saver!!
