Sliders

[UH60MG]

How do I get a slider to appear in ArmA?

Here is the code in the description I tried...

#define FontM "Zeppelin32"
#define FontHTML "Zeppelin32"

#define ST_LEFT       0
#define ST_RIGHT      1
#define ST_CENTER     2
#define ST_FRAME      64

#define CT_STATIC     0
#define CT_BUTTON     1
#define CT_SLIDER     3

#define CT_COMBO      4
#define CT_LISTBOX    5

#define SL_DIR            0x400
#define SL_VERT           0
#define SL_HORZ           0x400



class RscText
{
        type = CT_STATIC;
        idc = -1;
        style = ST_LEFT;
        colorBackground[] = {0, 0, 0, 0};
        colorText[] = {0, 0, 0, 1};
        font = FontM;
        sizeEx = 0.025;
};

class RscSliderH
{
       type = CT_SLIDER;
       style = ST_LEFT;
       color[] = {0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1};
       idc = -1;
       sizeEx = 0.025;
};


class DlgStart
{
  idd = -1;
  movingEnable = true;

  objects[] = { };
  controls[] = { MY_SLIDER};


  class MY_SLIDER : RscSliderH
  {
     idc = 204;
     x = 0.25;
     y = 0.3;
     w = 0.5;
     h = 0.04;
  };

};

This doesn't show a slider. What am I doing wrong?

Code: [Select]

  style = ST_LEFT; ----> style = 1024;

Thanks.

And how do I read the current position of the slider?


I tried this in  a script but it doesn't work (displays '0' no matter what)

titleText [format ["%1", sliderPosition 204], "PLAIN", 2]

[h-]

Just informing, moved this here since this is where the dialog stuff should even if it might not feel advanced for some.

First you need to give the slider its range and "speeds":

_myslidercontrol sliderSetRange [0, 359];
_myslidercontrol sliderSetSpeed [1, 10];

For example, then you will be able to read the position.
