I commented what is likely the fix on youtube:

Check that this name in the below code snip matches the name you gave the actual full heart component of the container prefab. just double clicky the prefab and check. Make the names match and youre fixed.

heartFills[i] = temp.transform.Find("<strong>HeartFill</strong>").GetComponent<Image>();

Then: (copying my youtube comment)

As for the alignment, check to see the size of your Hearts Parent. NOT the grid sizes, but the actual hearts parent object which should be a child of the canvas. You want the hearts parent to be the same size as the canvas. Depending on how it was created, it will either be the right size, or i believe in your case, smaller and in the middle of the canvas. If it is not the same size as the canvas, the grid component of the hearts parent will only work within the smaller frame of the hearts parent, and your health will be floating in the middle of the screen, or wherever the space of the hearts parent is. To make it the same size as the canvas, click on hearts parent, then find the resize icon in the Rect Transform component of the inspector. That icon is a square lookin thing in the upper left and it says “stretch” horizontally and vertically. Click that dude, then hold Alt and click the lower Right option. Now theyre the same size.

Thanks for making the post here as well Ben. I’ve helped you format the code in your post. Really appreciate your support!

P.S. If you log in using your Patreon account, you will be labelled a Patron when you post. Not that it matters. Just highlighting!

Hi Cayden, the solution to the health not updating is the if statement in the setfillhearts method needs to use health, not maxHealth, like so

if (i < PlayerController.Instance.health)

With regards to it not being in the right place i just moved the hearts parent around manually until it was in the position i wanted it to be
