At the sake of giving you code straight out, here.

mob
 var
  obj/healthbar
 New()
  ..()
  spawn()
   var/obj/hpbar = new/obj
   hpbar.icon = 'hpbar.dmi'
   hpbar.icon_state = "100%"
   hpbar.pixel_y = 32
   src.healthbar = hpbar
   src.overlays += hpbar


It would also be best to change the bar whenever you take damage, something like this:

src.healthbar.icon_state = "[round(src.health/src.maxhealth)]"


That should do you fine. If you don't want to create 100 icon states, you could reduce it to 20, then this is your formula:

round(src.health/src.maxhealth)/(100/numStates)*(100/numstates)


numstates is the number of icon states you made, if it is 20, 95.1231421% health would turn out to be 95%, and 93.123719% health would be 90%.

the icon states are best as percentages.

0%
1%
2%
etc.
etc.
100%

Get it?

You can also make use of round()'s second argument:

src.healthbar.icon_state = "[round(src.health/src.maxhealth,5)]"


That would automatically round it off to the nearest 5.

I learned to program in another breed of languages. I tend to do things inefficiently sometimes.

I'm also wanting to know how to do this, where would i put these 2 commands then

src.healthbar.icon_state = "[round(src.health/src.maxhealth,5)]"

and
round(src.health/src.maxhealth)/(100/numStates)*(100/numstates)

That's for you to figure out. But I will give you a hint, rather than directly changing a person's HP, have an event system. When they lose some hp, call a mob procedure that does the subtraction and any events tied to it for you. those two lines should never go into the same code, as the second line was a formula, and the top line was a basic implementation.
