Sliders

You can now add sliders to your GUIs. This allows you to have a nice interface for the player to change settings such as volume and game speed. To add a slider, click the "Add slider" button and drag out its rectangle just like you would for a button. You can also resize it by dragging the bottom- right hand corner out in the same way as a button.

Sliders can be either vertical or horizontal. The direction that it is drawn in is automatic depending on the size that you stretch the slider box to - if it is wider than it is tall you will get a horizontal slider, otherwise you'll get a vertical slider.

For the properties of a slider you can set the minimum, maximum and current values that the slider can have. In the game, the user will be able to drag the handle from MIN to MAX, and the slider will start off set to VALUE. For horizontal sliders, MIN is on the left and MAX on the right, for vertical sliders MAX is at the top and MIN is at the bottom.

Whenever the user moves the handle's position on the slider, the OnChange event is called. This means that if they continually drag the handle up and down, the event will get called repeatedly.

Your script can find out the value of the slider using the Slider.Value script property.
