A draggable slider that users can move to select a numerical value.

Authors and contributors to this community extension: D8H, VictrisGames.

Draws a draggable slider that users can move to select a numerical value. The value range, tick spacing, and the appearance of the slider can be defined with properties.

How to use:

  • Add this behavior a Shape Painter object
  • Place an instance of that shape painter on the screen where you want the slider to appear
  • Use the "Value" expression to find the Value based on the position of the slider

Tips:

  • You can disable the slider to prevent a user from interacting with it
  • You can set the Value of the slider and the slider will move to the correct position

Further details can be found in this tutorial video.

Breaking changes (1.0.0)

  • Track thickness and length properties replaced track width and height. These 2 properties must be set again if they were different from the default size.
  • Hidden sliders can be dragged. The "enable" action must be used to disable them.
