Nice Model, looks awesome. I will use it for my Map 5/5

How do you use this model know how to import but how do you apply it to units?

there is a testmap linked in description, look up the code or ask the question on the forum

felt a little strange to implement it, but thats just my opinion.
Works and looks fine!

Useful addition, 5/5 and I will use it in my map since it's the best bar displayed on Reforged graphics I could find.

Stops moving for any animation speed below 2%, making it unusable for e.g. a construction or upgrade progress indicator.

Is that something that can be fixed, or is that just one of Blizzard's many annoying little oversights?

did you find an answer/solution/workaround for this?

OMG

When I think I spent time recreating a similar bar because I wanted the golden color, and the background for the bar border and it was straight in front of my nose !

This said I just wanted a single animation. I don't understand why people are not trying to scale a single animation via triggers rather than use 100 animations with a repeating timer.

Or maybe the natives SetDestructableAnimationSpeed (destructables) or BlzPlaySpecialEffectWithTimeScale (sfx) were only added recently ?

Anyways, as for these natives, I can't seem to sync the animation with my spell with a destructable, and the TimeScale does not seem to work , even for non attacjed SFX.
I might end up having to use a model with several animations in the end...

did you check out the demo map? this bar is super simple to use (even I got it to work...), as long as you need it for short duration.. (can't use it if you need to slow it down under 2%)

Well to be honest, a single model with a 1s animation that you slow down is much more efficient.
Fun enough, because of a typo in my Lua code I wrongly thought BlzPlaySpecialEffectWithTimeScale didn't work in Reforged, and the Destructable version I made driven with SetDestructableAnimationSpeed refused to completely synchronize with my SPELL_EFFECT event for reasons I might never understand.

But because of this I came up with a better alternative :
[Spell] - SetDestructableAnimationSpeed whoes !!! (Workaround found) (third post)

It's not better code-wise than the map in this thread, it also requires to import files in the map (fdf file), but it is much closer to the game progress bar (like the timed lives). The other advantage is that it does not have any problem with following the unit as it is in the UI

EDIT : This said, this looks nice as custom HP/Mana bars !!!

Seems nice, but selection circles for some reason overlay it?
