You could make a sprite… But that’s probably the easiest way you could do it… you could also make actual water here is a link

Good Luck!
If this is a basic player health bar, I would suggest starting with this tutorial:

Your sprite frames would be different increment levels.
If your health increases, say a player going up a level gets more hit points, and you need to show a relative scale (like say a percentage) instead of fixed increments, consider using a red rectangle with your hollow character setting on top of it and a mask the shape of your character applied to the red rectangle to hide the area outside the character. You can initially set the height to 0 for the rectangle and as you do damage, change the height to the amount that represents the current health. Say your person is 50px high, it might be:
Hey @Rob … I dont know if you understood what @shamara ment but i think its something like this…
Get a clear cup and app red dye to it and the put the cup at eye level and fill it with water…
It sounds to me like he wants a health bar where his character fills up with read the more dead he becomes. The sprite method is a valid thing. I don’t see where he wants sloshing around of liquids. No doubt liquidFun would probably work with this, but if it’s a health bar, its likely going to be relatively small in the UI. I’m working on a mask based fill that would work too for more precision than a few steps.
You could also custom skin a vertical widget.newSlider too.

That’s exactly what i meant haha … Well for a beginner this will probably take some time to get down and get working properly.
