Hi, I have a problem with this zombie health bar. At a certain point, the game kicks the player out, and the error shown on screen is "Overflow". From what I understand, the game has a limit on the recreation of hud elements (strings). This is due to a game engine function that manages configstrings, which are strings used by the game to identify resources. These are stored in a cache, and when that limit is reached, this type of error appears.

I know exactly what the workaround is for now — using .label and setValue. But is there any way to fix this while still using setText?

// Calculate health percentage
max_health = entity.maxhealth;
health = entity.health;
percent = health / max_health;

// If the health bar already exists, update it
if (isDefined(self.hud_zombie_health) && isDefined(self.hud_zombie_health_text))
{
    // If the zombie is dead, show an empty bar
    if (isDefined(isDead) && isDead)
    {
        self.hud_zombie_health updatebar(0);
        if (self.langLEN == 0)
            self.hud_zombie_health_text setText("Esta Muerto!");
        else
            self.hud_zombie_health_text setText("He's dead!");
    }
    else
    {
        // Ensure the bar uses the selected color
        // Default to white if no color is defined
        if (!isDefined(self.colorcito))
            self.colorcito = (1, 1, 1);
        
        // Only update the color if it's different
        if (isDefined(self.hud_zombie_health.bar) && self.hud_zombie_health.bar.color != self.colorcito)
            self.hud_zombie_health.bar.color = self.colorcito;
        
        // Update the health bar to the current percentage
        self.hud_zombie_health updatebar(percent);

        // Show name and health info if enabled
        if (self.zombieNAME)
        {
            self.hud_zombie_health_text setText(name_zombie + " ^7[^3" + int(health) + "^7/^2" + int(max_health) + "^7]");
        }
        else
        {
            // Show only the health values
            self.hud_zombie_health_text setText("^7[^3" + int(health) + "^7/^2" + int(max_health) + "^7]");
        }
    }
}
else
{
    // Create health bar and text if they do not exist
    self.hud_zombie_health = self createprimaryprogressbar();
    self.hud_zombie_health_text = self createprimaryprogressbartext();

    // Ensure the color is defined, default to white

        self.colorcito = (1, 1, 1);
    
    // Configure visual properties of the bar
    self.hud_zombie_health.bar.color = self.colorcito;
    self.hud_zombie_health.hidewheninmenu = false;
    self.hud_zombie_health_text.hidewheninmenu = false;

            self.hud_zombie_health_text setText("^7[^3" + int(health) + "^7/^2" + int(max_health) + "^7]");
    }
}

// If the zombie is alive and at full health, fade and remove the bar after a delay
if (isDefined(isDead) && !isDead && health == max_health)

this is because you're hitting the unique string limit, for example you're casting a value inside the text, being the health, this is creating alot of new strings eating away at the limit of the vm, the correct way would be using setvalue, settext for text, setvalue for values so you would want todo .label and asign a string to that lable and use setvalue and the outcome would be Zombie Health: 100 as an example or clear the string table and using a custom array to track the amount of strings you generated.
