Bar 1, 2 and 3 - Showing the "Bar"

I know, I know, I'm asking a lot of questions today but I've only been using Roll20 for a little over a week. I'm using the 3 bars for the following: Green HP, Blue AC, Red Initiative Since HP has a Current / Max it shows a green bar over the characters head. Is there any way to show this green bar to the players without showing the actual number in the circle when the token is selected? If not, is there a variable or way to make a custom variable that shows a percentage of current / max health out of 100 instead of the actual HP numbers?

Players can only select tokens they can control, are you worried that they will know how much health their own characters have?  If you're thinking about NPCs/monsters, they can only see the bars, not select the token. And ask all the questions you have, we don't mind helping! =D
That's just perfect The Aaron! That's exactly what I want! I'm not worried about them knowing their own stats - I don't want them to know NPC stats. So they can only select the PC token assigned to them and see their three circles, but they will be able to see the green bars over the heads of NPCs representing their health? Do I have that right?

Pretty much.&nbsp; Even the green bar is not shown by default, you have to turn that on in the token settings: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Token_Features#In_the_Adva" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Token_Features#In_the_Adva</a>...

If ever you want to be really, really sure what the players will see on a given map,&nbsp; set up a dummy account and add it to your game as a player. When you log in under that name, you will be in strict player mode, even more so that using the Ctrl/Cmd-L keyboard command to show you a given token's sight.If you want to see what a specific player will see, be sure to give your dummy account control over their character.
Thanks @The Aaron I got it working on all my NPCs now so that players will see the green health bar and nothing else. And yeah I did setup a dummy account @keithcurtis I just need to remember which login information I used I have a few email addresses so it gets confusing. Good tip about adding + in the email name, never knew about that trick.
