Question by yoshimotor · Oct 28, 2016 at 09:10 PM · c#user interface

Slider and Input Field Value Updates

I am wondering about how to setup a slider and an input field to take values from each other based on whichever one is receiving input.

I found this code that will pass slider data from the slider to the input field :

      using UnityEngine;
      using System.Collections;
      using UnityEngine.UI;
      
      [ExecuteInEditMode]
      public class SliderWithValue : MonoBehaviour {
      
          public Slider slider;
          public Text text;
          public string unit;
          public byte decimals = 2;
      
      
          void OnEnable () 
          {
              slider.onValueChanged.AddListener(ChangeValue);
              ChangeValue(slider.value);
          }
          void OnDisable()
          {
              slider.onValueChanged.RemoveAllListeners();
          }
      
          void ChangeValue(float value)
          {
              text.text = value.ToString("n"+decimals) + " " + unit;
          }
          
      
      }

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/836488/how-to-send-on-value-changed-in-ui-slider-to-text.html

I am wondering how add conditional to allow inputs into the input field to update the slider and slider inputs to update the input field text.


I want to continue to use the editor to drag and drop targets but after adding

 public InputField input;


Now I am stuck...

Anybody out there that knows how to write this?

thank you

-ryan

In the input field, only allow numbers to be entered. Then you set a callback of the input field on value changed to a public function like InputValueChanged.

Inside InputValueChanged do something like if (slider.value != float.parse(input.value)) slider.value = float.parse(input.value);
