Any tips on how to make the combo meter (progress bar / label) more juicy ?

[steep island]

Adjust progress using lerps
Little particle splash when the label grows
Use a Gradient to have the color of the bar change based on the combo number
Have the bar get a bit bigger each time.
Those are a few random ones

Currently the progress with lerps doesn't fix it , I even opened another thread trying to fix it

But the rest is some solid advice

Combo number could change color (and or size/style) at certain thresholds

The number now grows and the color changes relative to the points

But the color gradient thing didn't eork

What didn't work about it?

[native coral]

The smooth transition between color

It goes from white to yellow with just one step

I wanted it to be like a gradient

But idk if it's even worth it

I used

Points_label.self_modulate = color1.lerp(color2 , points/10

There we go

There's an actual object in Godot called a Gradient and you can sample it with code.

Thanks for the help vro

Maybe not really needed to have gradients

Yeah just letting you know because it's a useful tool that you might use someday.

Hopefully when I get more experience

This stuff is hard

And there isn't many tutorials about it either
