GUI Float Invert and Range Limit

ah it's really for the knob value display.
should make it read-only to avoid confusion.
a readout/input text would go with txt to float to
the scaler input.

float in x maximum value x -1 + offset

it was a rate control i had that was operating
fast to slow, so this was to reverse it, slow>fast.

the range limit values are only examples. use add as
the low limit, with float in x max.value x-1

but that's how you're supposed to do it, right ?
it's like the velocity prefa.. No!>>
ah! i wanted to find the solution to how to replace
that level adjust for a *long* time.

nb: if input is always 0 to 1.

i tried it with pots on the multiply and add to find out how
to do it, then took them out, quicker than typing via text to float.

why limiter?

text to float+float limiter > more modules/module count
just input your values in properties and lock the container?

look in the spare parts container, more toys in there.

summary:

(input is always 0 to 1 range)

input x (max.value x -1)+ max value = 'invert'


input + min.value x (max.value x -1) = range bounds/limits

on the floatscaler? yeah, it does here..
this is just a demonstration of the principle above.
you can just containerize the floatscaler or something
and use it like that. i hadn't envisaged more at this
stage. i'll have a look at it now.

edit: ah yes, interesting: of course, the knob *always*
wants to do 0 to 1 values. and can go out of the range:
i had it showing a minus value just now.

? to be cont'd...

>>question:
- i'm unclear about this, actually: GUIFloat, what values
  can it have?

i've added SL fixed GUIFloat, but that wouldn't let me
enter a value while attached to the rest.

here's a revision, just did a few things. see if you can find
a way to stop 'illegal' input values from text:

FloatScaler Invert and Range Limit 2 Feb2014.zip

it is containerized now, with extra floatscalers to define
x & + inputs, and knobs for this, with display, etc.

i know..sorry gotta paint a house exterior at the moment..
i don't know what the answer to that is yet, as it wasn't the
original aim of the prefab, which was to demo that floatscaling.
are we talking about limiting text, or find a way of excluding
illegal value entries? it another issue, i'd be happy to find
out about it.

if you don't try text entry it operates within its range, i think.
that isn't something i've been using on GUIs tbh.

knobs for 'x' & '+' to set max and min reset to values specified.
then the main knob operates with the range if you don't chuck some
wrong value in via text.
