linking a slider created at runtime to a float

Actually, how would I associate any UI element created at runtime with a function? In the case of the slider, I have

Code (CSharp):

1. newSlider.onValueChange.Invoke(float arg());

It wasn't entirely obvious how to hook it up with the dynamic float through the interface at first either. Can anyone show me what it's looking for or how to do this? Thanks.

 

newSlider.onValueChanged.AddListener(YourFunction());

public void YourFunction(float arg){
}

As for your second question, if you already have your public function with a float parameter, on the interface you just need to add the object with the script, then select your script and on the top of the list you should have your dynamic float functions.

 

If you need databinding, Foundation is currently free and provides databinding for most uGUI controls complete with custom inspectors.

I'm close, but inexperience plagues me. I have a couple of questions...

I believe I have that set up correctly, but in the wrong place? I am setting this up when I'm creating the slider, correct? I cannot get any indication that my UpdateFloat function is ever being called, even with a Debut.Log in place. I have tried it with and without the second argument, input.

The return value Float that invoke is forcing is confusing me. If I were setting this up through the inspector, I don't believe the function can have a return value. I simply want to send that float off to be used, for lack of a better description.

I have a dozen or more sliders, each used to set a float in the same manner. What am I missing? Thank you very much for your time!!

(moved the onValueChanged to the bottom for clarity)

Code (CSharp):

1.     private void CreateFloat(ProceduralPropertyDescription input, int number)
2.     {
3.         float inputFloat = substance.GetProceduralFloat(input.name);
4.  
5.         GameObject newFloat = Instantiate(floatUI) as GameObject;
6.         newFloat.name = input.name;
7.         newFloat.transform.parent = gameObject.transform;
8.  
9.         Text newLabel = newFloat.GetComponentInChildren<Text>();
10.         newLabel.text = input.name;
11.  
12.         Slider newSlider = newFloat.GetComponent<Slider>();
13.         newSlider.minValue = input.minimum;
14.         newSlider.maxValue = input.maximum;
15.         newSlider.value = inputFloat;      
16.  
17.         RectTransform rectTransform = newFloat.GetComponent<RectTransform>();
18.  
19.         float minx = -140;
20.         float miny = ((itemStart * number) + itemHeight) * -1;
21.         rectTransform.offsetMin = new Vector2(minx, miny);
22.  
23.         float maxx = 140;
24.         float maxy = (itemStart * number) * -1;
25.         rectTransform.offsetMax = new Vector2(maxx, maxy);
26.  
27.         newSlider.onValueChanged.Invoke(UpdateFloat(input, newSlider.value));              
28.     }
29.  
30.     public float UpdateFloat(ProceduralPropertyDescription input, float arg)
31.     {
32.         substance.SetProceduralFloat(input.name, arg);
33.         return arg;
34.     }
