Welcome to this tutorial on how to set up a Scoring and Lives HUD in O3DE!
In this video, we will go through the step-by-step process of creating a scoring and lives HUD using Script Canvas in O3DE. Script Canvas is a powerful visual scripting tool that allows you to create complex gameplay behaviors without writing any code.
We will begin by setting up the basic HUD elements in the game engine, such as the score counter and lives indicator. Then we will create a script using Script Canvas that updates the HUD elements based on the player's actions. For example, we can create a behavior where the score increases when the player hits an enemy, and the lives decrease when the player takes damage.
