Question by Anymeese · Sep 02, 2014 at 03:03 PM · uislider4.6parameter

(4.6 UI) Use a slider's "Value" as parameter to attached funct?

If I add a function from a script to the OnValueChanged part of a slider, and the function takes a float parameter, can I use the Value (from 0 to 1) parameter of the slider in that function? In other words, 1) is there a way to access that property in the code (meaning I don't need a parameter), or 2) is there a way to sort of drag and drop the Value property to the parameter slot so the parameter reads the value rather than a number I type in?

If your function is public and only takes 1 float value as its only parameter, then it should show up in the drop down list.

 public void Test(float a){
     Debug.Log("It works and the value is: " + a);
 }

Try this: (Javascript)

 var volume : float = 0.3f;    // set this to whatever default volume you want
 
     public function VolumeSlider (value : float){
           volume = AudioListener.volume = value;   // this changes the volume
     }

and then when assigning the function to the slider from the dropdown, instead of using "VolumeSlider(float)", use the one called "VolumeSlider" (may be towards the top of the list).

Thank you for pointing out the different forms of the function! I hadn't spotted the "Dynamic float" category at the top of the list and was getting very frustrated by the inability to pass the slider value.
