I have a progress bar that moves from left to right, I want to be able to take the current placement of the progress bar’s value in screen space and overlay another that moves from right to left, at that location. As a way to sort of show the player how much of the original progress bar will be depleted
I made a quick mockup in photoshop of what I’m trying to convey.
bare in mind that the original bar as shown is meant to represent the bar at less than 100%; meaning that I want the overlayed bar to be able to determine the current position of the original bar and place itself there, instead of simply placing another bar at the 100% point and moving from right to left from there, which wouldn’t work with any other value other than 100%
If you know any better manner to go about my intentions, please don’t be afraid to tell me what it is.
I don’t quite get it, because a default progress bar already shows it’s full size and how much has been depleted:
But why not just put another bar in the same place on the widget and make it run from right to left, with a value of 1-x where x is the value of the first bar:
I put a size box below the progress bar and did some math in the widget graph to have the image in the box move with the progress bar and add +1 to brush size on the x-axis in real time when a button is pressed. Once that button is released it takes the %of the size box and subtracts that from the progress bar. The end result is:
Btw, this was my intent, just wanted to share.
I re-read my last post and realised I didn’t quite properly convey what i meant. Thanks nonetheless.
