Learn how to create an auto resize slider based on the space around it! You will also learn how to get and set values either by script or through a UnityEvent. I also cover how to play a sound once you release the handle of the slider.

A slider has a different usecase than a health bar or resource bar. You would use an image for those, as they are purely to show information, not let the player interact with it. A slider is there to offer interaction.
