How scroll bar??

[Troodon]

I can't understand. In the simple example ged file that works but in my game project, the scroll bar moves only in the wrong direction. The variable starts from 1000 instead of 0 and moves only to left instead of right.

[Troodon]

I mean that it should start from 1000 because it's a tool to set population limit. However I can't get it to run on the bar. It moves outside. :/

oi!
that is not what it did when I used my code!

[Troodon]

Can I have a new code, please?

[Sgt. Sparky]

did you copy and paste the previous code I gave you?
it worked fine when I used it with you're .ged hmmm,
what exactly do you want changed?...
I do not quite understand,
you're message at the top of this page does not tell what you want.
it just says somthin' went wrong.
could you please describe it better about what you want?

I need one horizontal scroll bar which is in the beginning in the right with variable value of 1000.
Then when I move it to left it reduces from 1000 to zero.

[Sgt. Sparky]

okay,
try this:

Code: Select all

y = palkki.y - height / 2;
population = - (x - 100) * 5;
if(x < -100)x = -100;
if(x > 100)x = 100;


when it is to the far right it will be 0,
far left: 1000!

[Troodon]

It wasn't what I really wanted.
I wanted it to be like this:
max left: variable = 0
max left: variable = 1000
BUT in the beginning, the scroller should be in the right. (and the variable 1000)
It's a population limit tool, so in the beginning it's 1000, BUT if you want you can edit it to be for example 8. Is this possible?

By the way, I think I will change the max variable to 50 instead of 1000.

[Sgt. Sparky]

okay then instead of *5 use /4
and on create actor event of the button,

Code: Select all

x = 100;

does that work?
and why are there 2 max left thingies?
EDIT: oooooooooh, you want it to start out at 1000 at the left, and when you change it it is 0?

[Troodon]

The scroller doesn't go to to the bar.
And it can't move to right. It still moves to left only with negative numbers.


It still starts with 0 instead of 100.

[Sgt. Sparky]

make a variable called change:
then use,

Code: Select all

if(change == 0 && x > -100)change = 1;
if(change == 1) {
y = palkki.y + height / 2;
population = (x + 100) / 4;
if(x < -100)x = -100;
if(x > 100)x = 100;
                        }


and on the create actor event

Code: Select all

x = -100;

[Troodon]

No no no.
I need a scroll bar where I can set the population limit from range 0 to 50. (or 1000)

Position:
((O))-----------------------
Value: 0

Position:
--------------------------((O))
Value = 50 (or 1000)

In the create actor the scroller should be in position:
--------------------------((0))

use:

Code: Select all

if(change == 0 && x < 100)change = 1;
if(change == 1) {
y = palkki.y + height / 2;
population = (x + 100) / 4;
if(x < -100)x = -100;
if(x > 100)x = 100;
                        }


to overcome this use this code at the end of you're text actor's draw actor event:

Code: Select all

if(population < 0)population = 0;
if(population > 50)population = 50;
