Using a Gui slider to rotate the character
I'm trying to figure out how to have a slider (GUI) manipulate the rotation of my character and the fpscamera. I only want it to go 180 degrees (left - right) because I don't want the player to look backwards. How would I go about this?
(I'm writing in JS)
This script attached to an object will display a horizontal slider and allow you to rotate that object -90 to 90 degrees. My guess is there is more to your problem which you have not detailed in your question.
#pragma strict
var hSliderValue : float = 0.0;
function Update() {
transform.eulerAngles = Vector3(0.0, hSliderValue, 0.0);
}
function OnGUI () {
hSliderValue = GUI.HorizontalSlider (Rect (25, 25, 200, 30), hSliderValue, -90, 90.0);
}
Yea you are right, I forgot to mention that this is for Android, so I need the slider to have "GetTouch". When i attached this script to the character it didn't display on the camera... Is there a way I can position it on the bottom middle of the camera of my selection, so the slider wont be in the way?
You need to read about GUI and understand their coordinate system and how you place things:

For bottom middle, you might use:
hSliderValue = GUI.HorizontalSlider (Rect(Screen.width/2.0 - 100, Screen.height - 35, 200 30), hSliderValue, -90, 90.0);
Awesome thanks did some research and found out how to position and size.
