Vector3 distance to fill slider.
I want to fill a slider that indicates when a distance has been traveled.
I have:
float dist = Vector3.Distance(other.position.z, transform.position.z);
dist goes between 6 and 280.
I am confused on how to do it, because the slider goes from 0 to 1. I tried Mathf.Clamp01 and it doesn't work.

You can set min/max value in Inspector:
The other way is to normalize the distance. It goes from 6 to 280, so make it start from 0 to 274.
float start = 6f;
float total = 274f;
float distance = Vector3.Distance(other.position.z, transform.position.z) - start;
value = distance / total;
I'm measuring the distance between the player and the end of the level. The math you provided helped me. Here is my code for future people if the struggle with this:
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class Game$$anonymous$$anager : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
public Transform player;
public Transform levelCleared;
public Slider slider;
float dist;
private void Start()
{
}
private void Update()
{
dist = player.position.z - (levelCleared.position.z - player.position.z) * -0.1f;
float value = dist / levelCleared.position.z;
slider.value = value;
Debug.Log(value);
}
}
float dist = Vector3.Distance(other.position.z, transform.position.z);
float minDist = 6 ;
float maxDist = 280;
slider.normalizedValue = ( dist - minDist ) / ( 280 - minDist ) * (slider.maxValue - slider.minValue ) + slider.minValue;
Which can be simplified if you are SURE the value of the slider is between 0 and 1
float dist = Vector3.Distance(other.position.z, transform.position.z);
float minDist = 6 ;
float maxDist = 280;
slider.value = ( dist - minDist ) / ( 280 - minDist );
