Showing the slider value as a percentage
Sliders are used a lot in video games. As a result, we have to display some percentage of the slider to give the player a better visual idea of what he is changing. For example, when the player is tweaking an ability parameter, it could be useful if the amount remaining is displayed as a percentage. The goal of this recipe is to create a script that shows the value of the slider in percentage. As such, we will develop a script that will use both the Slider (Script) and Text (Script) components.
How to do it...
First of all, we need to create a new UI text to display the value of our slider in percentage. Therefore, we can right-click on the Hierarchy panel and then click on UI | Text. Rename it to Slider Shower. Furthermore, to customize the look or suit our needs, we can change Font and Font Size as well.
Now, we need a script that receives the value of the slider, as data, which we will learn how to do later, and then show it as a number in percentage...
