Progress Bar Scaling Wierd

[Entropy]

I have a bar to represent how much energy the character has that I scale from 0-100 based on the amount(the foreground that is). I understand you shouldn't really scale to 0 so I lock it at 0.000001 (practically 0) to give the effect. The problem is, the foreground doesnt seem to want to go below a scale of about 8. Reducing the scale below that results in the bar giving of the visual appearance of the scale being at about 8, unless I set it to 0.
This isn't an error in my code, as it happens whilst the game isn't even running.

You can't shrink a sliced sprite below the sum of its borders. So if the sliced sprite's border is 4 on all sides, you are going to get exactly that -- 4+4=8 minimum.

[Entropy]

So what is the work around? Can I change the borders?

[ArenMook]

You can use a filled sprite instead.

[Entropy]

Is there a way to stop the edge fading / feathering on the filled sprite?

[Nicki]

As I recall, if you set a border on the source sprite, then filledSprite will cut that part off and avoid the feathering that way.

[Entropy]

How do I remove the border? Im using the Sci-Fi atlas.

[ArenMook]

Hit the Edit button beside the sprite, and remove it?

[Entropy]

I don't want to come across as an idiot, but where do I find the sprite? Im just using the Sci-Fi Atlas, Dark on a progress bar.

Heh. It's a gameobject that's a child of the progressbar. There's a foreground and a background. Select it and look in the inspector.

You can also find it by going directly to the atlas prefab in the project folder and then inspector (you can choose which sprite to focus on there).
