There are ways to make the dial change its value using triggers, which I see you had already figured out. Great work!
The specific task you're trying to accomplish requires a little bit of a different trigger and the settings for that are as follows:
Action: Adjust Variable
Variable: Set Dial (insert correct dial object) to value (insert value desired)
When: When the timeline starts on
Object: this slide
No conditionals unless you wish to include them.
I'll attach a screenshot of this as well.
I was looking at your test story project and you also have some additional triggers that jump to the slide that matches the value. Are you trying to allow the user to use the dial as a navigational tool? That is a really neat idea!
I hope this information helps!
I also made the changes I described to your test story so you could see it in action as well!
Yes, I'm trying to use the dial as a navigation tool for the user to go to different slides :)
I saw your modifed.story, that looks good. However, it seems that the dial always go back to initial value 1 when I drag it to 3. I post it on review here:

Hi Shirleen,
You may want to check this document to check some tips on how to work on properly with dials.
If you need to set the initial value of the dial you will have to drag the yellow diamond based on the position you wanted.
Please refer to the instructions below.
Hope it works out for you!
Shirleen,
After looking over the user guide section Storyline 360: Working with Dials it does require that the user interacts with the dial.

Did the dial behave the same too on your computer? or its just mine.
Thank you!
