I'm building a UI health bar for my Godot 4.3 game that needs to stay synced with a HealthComponent. Could you provide a GDScript script extending ProgressBar that connects to the component's signal, smoothly animates health drops or gains with tweens, handles re-binding if the player spawns after the UI, and makes sure rapid hit animations interrupt existing transitions cleanly?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| The response sets step = 0.0 (or step = 0) on the ProgressBar. | Missed | Passed |
| The response kills the existing tween before starting a new one. | Passed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
All examples target Godot 4.3+ with no deprecated APIs. GDScript is shown first, then C#.

A CanvasLayer renders its children in a fixed screen-space layer that is completely independent of any Camera2D or Camera3D transform. Without it, HUD nodes attached to the scene root still move with the camera when you pan or zoom. Wrapping all HUD nodes in a CanvasLayer (layer ≥ 1) ensures the HUD always stays in place regardless of camera movement.
