How your own condition is shown

The player's health display sits on a mesh with a parent of its own.

Your character in R.E.P.O. shows what state it is in: the health display sits on a mesh with a parent of its own, the material is driven by a colour gradient, there is a light at the eye, and being hurt, being healed and being upgraded each have their own sound.

What the game establishes

In play

Your own condition is shown on the character rather than only in a readout. There is a health component on the player with a mesh parent of its own, which is why what happens to you can be seen on the avatar rather than counted in a corner.

The material changes with your condition. There is a colour gradient behind the health material, which is why the character does not switch between two colours but passes through a range as things get worse.

There is a light at the eye. That is a small, specific part rather than a general glow, which is how the character can read as alive or unwell without the whole model being lit differently.

It knows where it is. There is a flag for whether the component belongs to the menu avatar, which is why the same health display can be used on the character in the menu without it being a separate object.

And it is heard as well as seen. Being hurt, being healed and being upgraded each have their own sound, which is why the crew can tell what has happened to somebody from across the room.

What this entry does not tell you: how much health you have, how the gradient is shaped, or how loud any of the sounds are. We have not verified those numbers, so we do not print them.
