Making a health system thats not in percent

Development Programming & Scripting
1

I have followed tutorials on how to make a health bar and take damage, but all the tutorials are the same. Set you variable to float and set it to 1.0 for 100 percent, which is 100 health. I want to make my character have more than 100. Especially when they get and item that has a random hp gain. How do I set this to not be percentage.

I want big number to float up when they are hit… well bigger.
I am new to game programming, but learning fast. Just cannot find this answer yet.

are you saying that you want the health value to be more than 100 or the percentage? if you mean the health value like your player having 500hp then just use the normalize to range node and have a variable for max and current health. if you are talking about having a bar that goes beyond 100% im not sure that possible.
