    Well, you set the health to 100. And put a "%" sign at the beginning?

    Yea I did "display text" and used that integer attribute as the source. Still can get the percentage symbol in there but I found a fix :p

    :D Because the engine gets "%" sign as modular. But glad you found the solution..

    Just so everyone else can find the solution here - one way to do it is put the % in quotations.

    It'll look kinda like this: "%"..(lifeattribute)

    Any text you put in quotes in a formula creator should come out as text, not as part of the formula.

    Also, as a reminder - if you need spaces in your text in a formula, use alt-space to put them in.

    Hope that helps!
