Slide meter?

Postby SuperSonic » Wed Jun 08, 2011 10:32 pm

I want to make a slide meter in my game to control certain variables. Can anyone help me? :P

I'm in class right now, so I can't make a more dynamic example, but maybe this one will help.

This is a lot like what I want. The only problem is that it's a little glitchy. Know what I mean? :)

Yeah I know, was just something to point you in the right direction. Here is a more cleaned up example. It doesn't keep the variable between 0 and 1, but the display does, by dividing the variable by the width of the bar.
Code: Select all
textNumber=(float)slide_var/bar.width;


It uses the same data folder as the other file I pointed you to.

-Edit
Attached one that you can specify the max of the variable.

Thanks for the code and examples. This should work :P
