Progress bar: only 11 steps?
« on: July 16, 2013, 06:34:55 PM »
I'm not a programmer... so, let's get that out of the way now.

So, i'm working on making the gui i need and it seems the current version has a lot of differences than the trial version. (i've got the full version fyi.) One thing is that in the health bar i'm trying to make it only has 11 steps. but, it won't let me change that to anything above it. what gives? I would like to know why it was changed but that's secondary to "how can i change it myself?"

remember, i'm not a programmer... so, tech-speak is going to go right over my head. :P

(i'm not trying to sound glib or anything... i honestly am not a programmer. most of the heavy lifting that i need for my game is done with programming add-ons like playmaker. If i am coming across as anything less than stellar, feel free to let me know. Cheers!)

EDIT: I'm sure this is something that's staring me in the face... But for some reason i just can't get it to take a value higher than 11 for the steps (i'm kinda hoping that i can use a value of 100 so that i can do easy calculations of percentages) and i've been reading that scaling is one option... but, that kinda won't work as the bars i'm using are parallelograms so scaling would make it look really wonky.

Surely there's a way to increase that step value's maximum... i've tried even typing the numbers in but it's not taking that value.

11 is the default max for steps. In your case I wouldn't use steps at all.
