Can't find Fill Direction or Sprite Type in UI Sprite Parameters

[milliemag]

Hi,

I was trying to create a progress bar that would update as the player loses health. But whenever the player is hit, the sprite reduces inward instead of going from left to right like I wanted. I thought there was supposed to be a way to change the fill direction from left to right, but I don't see the Fill Direction or Sprite Type parameters under UI Sprite.

Thanks,
Milan

I am not sure what you mean by "reduces inward". Fill direction is specified on the progress bar itself, under the "Appearance" section.

Sorry for being unclear. I met that the bar decreases on both ends (-> bar direction <-)instead of left to right (desired direction -> ).
I have it selected, but it still isn't responding in the way I'd like. Also, I was hoping to have it move from a starting value of 100 instead of 1. Is there any way I can make that happen in Playmaker?

Sorry, I'm trying to get this screenshot link to work, so you can see what I mean.

Start from the basics:

1. Add a sprite (ALT+SHIFT+S), set it to be Sliced like you wanted.
2. Attach UISlider script to it, make the Foreground point to the sprite from #1.
3. Drag the Value slider in inspector.

With that working properly, figure out what's different between what you did and this simple test.

Thanks! I'll try that.
