I have a Slider and want to allow the user to only access a certain range of it. If the grabber exceeds a given threshold value (to the right in my case), the grabber should stop there. As long as the grabber is grabbed, it should still be able to move back to the left again.
My current solution doesn't allow that, it virtually (not actually however) releases the grab by setting MOUSE_FILTER_IGNORE
as soon as the threshold is reached, and resetting it as soon as the left mouse button is released if the previous state was "dragged grabber beyond threshold".
Another problem is that when clicking and holding directly into the forbidden range, the grabber stays there until the user releases the mouse button. Then it jumps back to the threshold. Setting value = threshold
already in the value_changed
callback didn't work as expected however.
class_name HSliderLimit
extends HSlider
export var threshold := 50.0
var _slider_overdragged := false
func _ready() -> void:
connect("value_changed", self, "_on_value_changed")
func _input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
if event is InputEventMouseButton and event.pressed == false and _slider_overdragged:
_slider_overdragged = false
mouse_filter = MOUSE_FILTER_STOP
value = threshold
func _on_value_changed(value: float) -> void:
if value > threshold:
_slider_overdragged = true
mouse_filter = MOUSE_FILTER_IGNORE
#value = threshold # doesn't work here, at least not visually for the grabber
