    Hi

    I am trying to create a blood glucose meter similar to those found on diabetic glucose devices. The aim is to have a UI element with a border that has another image as the filler. This filler should move left and right depending on the current value. Yet I cannot seem to get the layering to work properly. Any help would be appreciated. Most of what I have found online is based around health bars and scaling the X-axis. This doesn't work as we have a bar that has 3 colors on it which follow a linear gradient from left to right.

    Any help would be great
    Thank you

    A UI Image can be set to fill mode to allow what you want. Set it to fill horizontal from left or right a certain float value between 0 and 1. I'm not sure what you mean by the layering not working properly. The hierarchy should allow you to layer elements into whatever order you want.
