Add the following script to your Assets folder as SliderExample.cs and add the SliderExample component to an object in a scene.

#pragma strict
@ExecuteInEditMode
public class SliderExample extends MonoBehaviour {
	Vector3targetPosition {
		return m_TargetPosition;
	}
	 {
		m_TargetPosition = value;
	}
	@SerializeField
	private var m_TargetPosition: Vector3 = new Vector3(1f, 0f, 2f);
	public virtual function Update() {
		transform.LookAt(m_TargetPosition);
	}
}

using UnityEngine;

[ExecuteInEditMode]
public class SliderExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Vector3 targetPosition { get { return m_TargetPosition; } set { m_TargetPosition = value; } }
    [SerializeField]
    private Vector3 m_TargetPosition = new Vector3(1f, 0f, 2f);

    public virtual void Update()
    {
        transform.LookAt(m_TargetPosition);
    }
}

Add the following script to Assets/Editor as SliderExampleEditor.cs and select the object with the SliderExample component.

#pragma strict
@CustomEditor(SliderExample)
@CanEditMultipleObjects
public class SliderExampleEditor extends Editor {
	protected virtual function OnSceneGUI() {
		var example: SliderExample = SliderExampletarget;
		var size: float = HandleUtility.GetHandleSize(example.targetPosition) * 0.5f;
		var snap: float = 0.1f;
		EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
		var newTargetPosition: Vector3 = Handles.Slider(example.targetPosition, Vector3.right, size, Handles.ConeHandleCap, snap);
		if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck()) {
			Undo.RecordObject(example, "Change Look At Target Position");
			example.targetPosition = newTargetPosition;
			example.Update();
		}
	}
}

using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

[CustomEditor(typeof(SliderExample)), CanEditMultipleObjects]
public class SliderExampleEditor : Editor
{
    protected virtual void OnSceneGUI()
    {
        SliderExample example = (SliderExample)target;

        float size = HandleUtility.GetHandleSize(example.targetPosition) * 0.5f;
        float snap = 0.1f;

        EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();
        Vector3 newTargetPosition = Handles.Slider(example.targetPosition, Vector3.right, size, Handles.ConeHandleCap, snap);
        if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck())
        {
            Undo.RecordObject(example, "Change Look At Target Position");
            example.targetPosition = newTargetPosition;
            example.Update();
        }
