How to make an UI-dragger for in-game settings?

Hey!
If you don’t understand what I mean by UI-dragger, here an explanation:
Many games use those draggers for their settings. For example you can drag a line to the right to higher the volume, and to the left to lower it.

I’m wondering if there is an easier solution to make a dragger for an UI than using Mouse’s Button1Down, Button1Up, check where the mouse now is, or even make a Heartbeat so it follows along the mouse.

You can found a tutorial in Youtube. I got a similar thought of this before until I search it on youtube and got my solution.

Tips: Learn the tutorials (How it works) not just follow it every steps of it.

Could you link me the video please? I can’t find any videos that show how to make a dragger for settings.

With UI-dragger I don’t mean the UIs that you can drag around your screen, I mean a setting-dragger that you can only drag in a straight line. Sorry if the title was unclear.

You can do it by using AbsolutePosition and AbsoluteSize.

Here:

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

local mouse = Player:GetMouse();

local IsDragging = false

local Dragger = script.Parent

local Frame = Dragger.Parent

Dragger.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	IsDragging = true
end)

Dragger.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	IsDragging = false
end)

mouse.Move:Connect(function() 
	if IsDragging then
		local newPositionX = math.clamp((mouse.X - Frame.AbsolutePosition.X)/Frame.AbsoluteSize.X, 0, 1)
		Dragger.Position = UDim2.fromScale(newPositionX, Dragger.Position.Y.Scale);
	end
end)


Hope this helped.
