Hello, I want to see if I can disable the players healthbar, the one that is above the player character in game, not in the ui. is it even possible?

I'm not sure if that's remotely possible. Maybe something with vars?

You need a specific engine mark to do that. If I remember correctly it was "enable alternative gameplay".
How many bugs does this game have anyway? jeez

According to the Official PlazmaBurst2 Wiki,

Alternate gameplay.
In singleplayer: disables ability to lift items for the Kinetic Module; hides characters' names (however, it still shows when you point your cursor on a character); hides the number of grenades left; disables body breaking; disables the ability to waste and regenerate energy for the Time Warp. These manipulations with energy make Time Warp usable only 9 times, however, when using the Time Warp, it will go in slow motion endlessly, unless the player deactivates it.

In multiplayer: only hides characters' names and amount of grenades, and also disables body breaking.
This Engine Mark has no parameters.

The engine mark works what it is supposed to do, but it does not disable the main players health bar. Sometimes it works? sometimes it doesn't.
Instead I activated casual mode and made an other actor the main character, Which it indeed worked.
Thanks for the replies!

If this still would be helpful to you and maybe more convenient than the method you chose, how about using the anonymous mode trigger action which disables overheads? One con about this is that it also disables chat, but I'm assuming you're not doing a cutscene or anything like that.

Hey Stamtish,

There is currently a bug with the 'Alternative Gameplay' engine mark.
It does not hide the player overhead for players, only actors. Additionally, when an actor dies and is revived, the overhead comes back.

After seeking advice from mrnat777, I learnt that you can hide player's overhead by changing the player's team. (even if you change the player's team back to the same team, like from Alpha to Alpha.)

Best regards,
Nyove

I cannot disable the overheads Mean me, There are some text in the levels that I don't want to be disabled.

Also Nyove, That is a solution too but I mostly like the current system I made, which I think it suits it much better and It is easier configure and copy paste, at least for me. But I will keep that in mind for future projects.

Thank you all for the replies!
