  Offsetting slider controls

  Posted by Benjamin Parker on April 5, 2019 at 11:04 am

  Hi wise folk

  I have six slider controls, five of which are children and one parent.
  What I would like to achieve is creating an off set or delay between the sliders. For example slider *1 starts at the same time as the parent, then slider *2 starts a set amount of frame/time after *1 and so on.

  Thats the main bit but If its possible I would like the offset to work like described above when the parent is moving 0-100 but then in reverse order when the parent moves from 100-0. For example when the parent slides from 100-0 Child*5 starts imminently and then all the other offset back down the line.

  Any help always appreciated.

  Many thanks in advance.

  Hi Just wanted to edit this and say that I have worked out that I can use valueAtTime to create the offset.

  I could then use an *if statement to control the out come but I am unsure as to how to define the direction of the sliders range i.e from 0-100 and 100-0. is this possible?
