Sliders are objects, the user can scroll vertically or horizontally, this will change a value, which you can access by :getValue().

Remember slider also inherits from Object

Changes the slider symbol, default is " "

Parameters:

  1. string symbol

Returns:

  1. object The object in use

Usage:

  • Creates a new slider and changes the symbol to X
local mainFrame = basalt.createFrame()
local slider = mainFrame:addSlider():setSymbol("X")
<slider symbol="X" />

setBackgroundSymbol

Changes the symbol in the background, default is "\140"

Parameters:

  1. string symbol

  1. string vertical or horizontal

setMaxValue

the default max value is always the width (if horizontal) or height (if vertical), if you change the max value the bar will always calculate the value based on its width or height - example: you set the max value to 100, the height is 10 and it is a vertical bar, this means if the bar is on top, the value is 10, if the bar goes one below, it is 20 and so on.
