How do you set the slider thumb to a value/step with a trigger?
It sounds as if you are showing a layer with a different slider on it. That slider has a different variable than the base layer, so when the base layer changes, it jumps to the new layer. The base layer thumb moves, but it doesn't look like it because the layer slider's variable doesn't.
Your first step is to get rid of the triggers (except for the one that shows the layer), because when a thumb is dragged, it updates the variable, and moves the thumb. You have a choice for the second step. Either change the design so the layer allows the slider from the base to show through, which is far preferable and easier. You may have to remove a background from the layer to do this. The other option is to set each slider to use the same variable as the original on the base layer so they are all updated at the same time.
That's my best guess. If it isn't what is happening, attach your .story file here and someone can take a look at it.
Hi Walt,
Thank you for your help with this! The second paragraph you wrote is true that the slider is showing through on each layer. There's only one slider.
We originally had the steps at 1 which works fine, but what we are trying to do here is make the sliding smooth and make it jump to the next increment if the mouse is released before getting there. This will be more user-friendly when we have less layers and a bigger space between increments.
I only added a new trigger for the first layer so far. And I've also tried increasing the total number of increments instead of changing the step to a lower value and it still didn't work.
Thank you!
Hi Natalie,
Looks like you're receiving great help from Walt!
Just a reminder that your contact information came through as well. This Peek video will show you how to edit it out if you’d like!
Thank you, Joe!
