var Crosshair2 : GameObject;
var Crosshair3 : GameObject;

var SliderValue : float;

function Update ()

        //crosshairs
	if(SliderValue == 1)

		Crosshair2.SetActive(false);
		Crosshair3.SetActive(false);
	}
	
	if(SliderValue == 2)
	{
		Crosshair1.SetActive(false);
		Crosshair2.SetActive(true);

	}
	
	if(SliderValue == 3)

1: Go to GameObject > UI > Slider.
2: Set your upper and lower bounds as shown below.
slider settings

3: Then you can access the sliders current value in your script with something like this:

var sliderObject : slider = GameObject.Find("name of your slider").GetComponent(Slider);
SliderValue = sliderObject.value;

Now, your SliderValue variable should always be the same as the slider in the scene.
