Description

A standard slider that can be moved between a minimum and maximum value.

The slider component is a Selectable that controls a fill, a handle, or both. The fill, when used, spans from the minimum value to the current value while the handle, when used, follow the current value.

The anchors of the fill and handle RectTransforms are driven by the Slider. The fill and handle can be direct children of the GameObject with the Slider, or intermediary RectTransforms can be placed in between for additional control.

When a change to the slider value occurs, a callback is sent to any registered listeners of Slider.onValueChanged.

Properties

directionThe direction of the slider, from minimum to maximum value.
fillRectOptional RectTransform to use as fill for the slider.
handleRectOptional RectTransform to use as a handle for the slider.
maxValueThe maximum allowed value of the slider.
minValueThe minimum allowed value of the slider.
normalizedValueThe current value of the slider normalized into a value between 0 and 1.
onValueChangedCallback executed when the value of the slider is changed.
valueThe current value of the slider.
wholeNumbersShould the value only be allowed to be whole numbers?
