position	the position of the handle.
rotation	the rotation of the handle.
size	the size of the handle.

Description

Make a single-float draggable handle.

This is used to make the center scale handle. The user can click and drag to scale a single float up and down.

Scale Value handle in the scene view with an arrow cap as the handle.

// Increase/decrease a value just by moving an Arrow Handle

@CustomEditor (ScaleValueModifier)
class ScaleValue extends Editor {
    function OnSceneGUI () {
        target.floatVal = 
            Handles.ScaleValueHandle(target.floatVal,
                     target.transform.position,
                     Quaternion.identity,
                     30,
                     Handles.ArrowCap,
                     1);                                  
        if (GUI.changed)
            EditorUtility.SetDirty (target);
    }
}

And the script attached to this Handle:

// ScaleValueModifier.js
// Usage: Place this script on the Game Object 
// you want to modify "floatVal" by dragging the Arrow Handle

@script ExecuteInEditMode()

var floatVal : float = 1;

function Update() {
    Debug.Log("Value Modified: " + floatVal);
}
