Enemy Health Bar on screen space - overlay/camera

[haikel]

i really want to make enemies health bars on the HUD instead floating on their heads 
i only changed the canvas from world space to screen space - overlay 
the thing is now the health bar is always appearing , even if I'm not close to the enemy. (the health bar it self works perfect and it destroy whenever the enemy is dead )
so i want a little help , making the enemy health bar appear / disappear whenever I'm close/away from an enemy 
and if it's possible make the health bar only appear when i lock on a target.



(keep in mind I'm very noob x) so i need detailed explanation ) and thanks in advance.

EDIT : this is exactly what I'm looking for

well just keep healthbar disabled at 1st then only activate it if distance between you and enemy is less than threshold..

ye i know that , the problem is i don't know how to do that

I guess you woud need to create a new solution for this, like one health bar inside the HUD that replaces the currentHealth value to your current target.

btw* very nice screenshoot, love the hud customization!
