Hey, I have some sliders in my program, but they don't function as I would really like them too. For one, when you want to move them, you have to click a left/right button to move it over one unit. But when you use it for something like volume, you would have to click it 100 times to turn it completly off (assuming that it started at 100 which is the default). This can get your fingers VERY tired! So, does anyone know of a way of making it so you can drag the scroll image to any value? Take TDK's scroll funtion for example. I'll attach a download. I want the sliders to work like those. Any ideas?

And here's my actual program (whats actually made) Only the Options menu, and exit button works. This will give you an idea of what needs to b done.

NOTE: Not everything on the options menu works, but it has three functional sliders, the same ones that I'd like edited.
Anyways, thanks for the help

I made this quick example of how you can drag a slider. This is for menus only because it stops the program from updating.

There is another way as well.

You are waiting for the person to release the mouse button. Something like................

Repeat
Until Mouseclick() = 0

But you could change that part, and use a wait 200 to slow down the repetition.

There are more sophisticater timer() routines like........


If T <= Timer()
` allow slider
T = Timer() + 200
Endif

This is a delay that can be used even during a game. It does not stop the program from updating.

Ok, I worked on it for awhile and fixed some stuff, but there's still several bugs in the code. I NEED to go to bed BAD, so I'll post me "issues" later

*yawn*
Thanks for the help,
