Modify Slider Range with Script?

[WizzyMotion]

Hi crazy people !

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to modify the range value of an Expression Control / Slider Control using script?

I'm getting change the value of the slider, but I can not find documentation on how to modify the "min value" and "max value" anywhere.

Does anyone have an example, if that's possible?

Regards

Hi Ruben,

If you can't find it, then it's simply not there.

So yep, it's not possible to set those values via script.

You can create a pseudo effect and use the script to apply this effect as workaround.

You can use clamp function to clamp slider values. Apply this to Slider property and all the values will be trimmed they do not fall into the range.

var min = -10;
var max = 10;
value = clamp(value, min, max);
function clamp(value, min, max) {
    return Math.min(Math.max(value, min), max);
}

Cheers.

it not work!

It is not scripting! It is expression. The topic asks how to do it using a script

Hm... came up nuts for me. Is there some obvious syntax error I'm missing? All I can extrapolate from the error message is that it doesn't like starting with a variable, lol.

The JavaScript expression engine doesn't like expressions that end with a function. Just switch it around:

function clamp(value, min, max) {
    return Math.min(Math.max(value, min), max);
}
var min = -10;
var max = 10;
value = clamp(value, min, max);
