Curved Slider?

I'm guessing the answer to this is NO, but if you don't ask you will never know

Is it possible to create a slider that is Curved, i want to simulate walking up to a building
and then with the GUI (a semi circle slider or quadrant) sliding around to the left or right
of the building

Thanks

It is possible. It would require some math, though. It might be easier if you are using NGUI or one of the other GUI packages, but in Unity GUI you just need to calculate a handle position along a curve based on its value.

[Sorry I don't have an example. Bit rushed, atm.]

 

hi there, it is possible indeed. I just had the same need a few days ago, and ended up coding this:

Code (JavaScript):

1. hSliderValue = GUI.HorizontalSlider (Rect (940, 135+(Mathf.Sin(hSliderValue*-.0175)*30), 243, 30), hSliderValue, 0.0, 180.0);

this script uses a Sin wave to simulate the curvature of a slider. It wont be useful for a full circle slider though. Only useful for semi circles or waves.
