One easy way of having a bar is to have several dots in a floating text and shift where the color is. Say it's green and gray and each dot represents 4% or something, you'll have 25 dots. Should look decent.
function RiotText takes integer currentPercent returns string
local string indicatorDots = "........................."
local integer percentToDots = currentPercent / 4
local string indicatorText = "|c003C14DC" + SubString(indicatorDots, 0, percentToDots + 1) + "|r"
return indicatorText + SubString(indicatorDots, percentToDots, StringLength(indicatorDots))
endfunction

I changed it to fit his use-case better, but for simplicity, I use "how I use it" for this example.@ThompZon Would you mind adding an example code for using this system in a timer please?
I want to use your suggestions to add some indicators to channeled spells that have a trigger running "every 0.03 seconds", but have troubles understanding how your code above works.

endfunctionCool. Looks good.Thanks Uncle, can you please check the below trigger to check if that is correct? (the 2nd one)
@ThompZon I adjusted the trigger again a bit, and I think now it looks even better than before:

The bar is now always the same size (150 blocks), but the speed at which it fills can be adjusted based on the channel time.

You don't need to check for Local Players. You can Hide/Show floating text for a specific player.
Delete this:
And simplify it to this:
^ Note that this leaks a Player Group.
Floating Text - Create floating text that reads Channel_String at Channel_Point[2] with Z offset 95.00, using font size 2.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
Set VariableSet Bl_Text[Bl_Index] = (Last created floating text)
Floating Text - Hide Bl_Text[Bl_Index] for (All players)
Set VariableSet Global_PlayerGroup = (Player group((Triggering player)))
Floating Text - Show Bl_Text[Bl_Index] for Global_PlayerGroup
Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_Global_PlayerGroup)
