One value to a Slider control

[Dan Ebberts]

If you want to set the y value with the slider, you could do it like this:

y = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
[value[0],y]

If you just want to adjust the y value with the slider, this would work:

yAdj = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
value + [0,yAdj]

Thanks Dan will try that.

HiDan,

Iam using the one where i can adjust the y value

(yAdj = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
value + [0,yAdj].

After i linked the circle to the slider, its working fine. But i have one more issue i want to stop the slider at 80 (80 should be the max., even if i slider more than 80 it shouldn’t move). Now, how do i lock the value at 80 so i can move from 0 to 80 only.

Thanks
sanj.

Something like this should work:

yAdj = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
value + [0,Math.max(yAdj,80)]

I’m sure this is fairly elementary–but I’m almost completely in the dark when it comes to expressions. Is there a way to link the position value (specifically the y value) of one layer to a slider control so that 1 on the slider is the starting y value (in this case -30), then 2, 3, 4…etc. each increase the y value by 55?

Any help hugely appreciated.

Cheers

Something like this should work:

s = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
[value[0],(s-1)*55-30]

edit: oops, I had a typo in there

Dan, you’re amazing. I realise that was probably pretty basic–but it really helped me out and I often see your name pop up with regular help and advice. Nice one.

Hello, I need some help.
How can I increase Slider’s Max Value over 1000000?

Thanks for your help! 🙂

[Dan Ebberts]

I don’t believe there’s any way to do that. There may be workarounds though, depending on what you’re trying to do.

Hi dan,

if this expression works with the Y value

yAdj = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
value + [0,yAdj]

What is the expression for x value?

thanks!
