Draw health bar over enemies

Question

I'm trying to draw a health bar over enemies, but it isn't working and the health bar is drawn at the corner (because the health bars are children of a CanvasLayer).

I can't place them as children of the enemies because they have rotation and it won't work. How can I fix that?

Comments

Are the enemies physics objects that are being automatically rotated, or are you rotating them manually?

---

Just an idea, how about using a parent node per enemy where child1 is the "actual" enemy (rotated) and child2 is the health bar.

I'm not much into 2d so I don't know if that poses any problems here.

Stick a Label/TextureProgress/whatever Control node in a Node2D on your player, and put this script on it:

extends Node2D

func _process(delta):
    global_rotation = 0
