Re: Math question

Peter, now I got it ... You could use finer steps for the whole scrollbar. The use, say between -2 and 2 these finer steps, may be steps of size 0.1, and if the value is greater smaller than -2 or greater than 2 use a value rounded to the next integer or fraction of an integer. Example:

Re: Math question

I tried both solutions, and I’m going with K.C.’s solution at the present—it was easy to understand :) Hermann’s seems to allow for more flexibility, and I might need that after user testing. Thanks both! Peter On Feb 26, 2016, at 2:43 PM, Peter Bogdanoff wrote: >

Re: Math question

Hermann, Reading your last message again…. The slider is marked in absolute increments of -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The user moves the thumb to a position with a corresponding output of one of those numbers. That position is saved in the preferences. I take the output from the

Re: Math question

Thanks Kay and Hermann, I’m using the mobGUI slider. The range of settings chosen on the slider can be -5 to +5. That range of values equals a span of 1 second—up to 1/2 second (300 blocks on the player) slower or faster. The actual position selected by the user will result in a time

Math question

Hi, I’m seriously math deficient. In my application’s preferences I have a slider that the user can set a value from +5 down to -5, where 0 is the default and the user can then modify that. The result is currently linear but I’m thinking that I want finer control around the zero midpoint but
