I have tried to make a text speed slider without much success. It works, but not they way I'd want it to. irst of all, the 10 000 ms is way too long a delay, nobody will ever need it. I would want to scale this value. Second, I tried to make the slider so that when it's at its rightmost position, the speed is at its fastest and when it's at its leftmost position it is at its lowest. At the moment it's vice versa.

Any insight? Thanks, you're great

Well it's higly dependant on how your slider is implemented. I'd suppose the 10,000 limit is somewhere hardcoded in the script...? So must be the code to calculate the actual from slider position.

Fred prealpha version by Forbidden games has such an option. You can get the sources from here http://master.math.upatras.gr/~odnorf/dreams/?show=downloads

I already downloaded that, but I must have missed something when studying the code.

Nope. The Fred game only scales the values, and the slider works the "wrong" way. Can anyone advise me on how to edit the Fred code to suit my needs?

I'll try to post my slider code when I get home, ok? Perhaps it will be helpful for you. It least my slider is horizontal

Ok, here's my slider code. I suppose it's quite similar to McCoy's. To use it, attach this script to any button on your settings window.

http://dead-code.org/download/slider.script

The MinX and MaxX variables specify the bounds of the slider button; on changing slider's position a SetVolume method is called with a value ranging from 0 to 100. If you need other range of values, just change the "* 100" part. Of course you can omit all the actual volume setting code if you don't need it.

Thanks, I'll get cracking.

Otherwise swell, except that I was talking about text SPEED, not volume... I actually have written a slider script with the help of the Fred code.

And when testing I noticed that the ability to scale between 10 and 10 000 milliseconds isn't that bad. However, it really would be good if the slider movement could be changed so that when the slider is at its rightmost position, the delay is 10 ms, and when it is in the leftmost position the delay is 10000 - just for consistency's sake, as the volume sliders work that way too.

A high delay time means a slow text speed and vice versa. I'd like the slider to show the text speed not the delay time...

Yeah, I know, I was just trying to inspire you. After all, changing it from volume to text speed would mean changing one line of code (the SetVolume call).

Also, to invert the value just do something like FinalValue = 10000 - SliderValue;

Back to fruitless testing.
