Dynamic Slanted Unitframe Bar Textures?

Any idea how to do this?

I have no clue what you mean by "dynamic", but that's entirely possible using a custom statusbar texture.

Meaning the slant is dynamic rather than static, ie. it moves when the health value updates.

Bad & easy to achieve:


Good & what I'm asking about:

I can't offer a solution, but I remember looking at screenshots from zork's ringmod, and wondering how he made the spark truly radial. Maybe applicable, maybe not.

Yeah I remember that and I'd think something as simple as this would be very easy to achieve. We just need to know how.

Mess with TexCoord transformations. In particular, moving the upper left corner further left and the lower right corner out further right might provide the desired effect.
