Slider Control With Input Ports?

[Stephan Moenninghoff 379]

Could the slider be modified to accept its min, max and default values from input ports? Let's assume I wanted to set the amount of an element in a list by slider. In that case I would need to get the list length for its maximum and default values. If anyone can help me I would be most grateful. I promise to learn Python one day. All this Marionette wiring is keeping me off it, I guess :-).

Unfortunately at this time, this isn't possible. There's no way to define an OIP control dynamically.

 

It's definitely on our list of things to try to improve, but we so far haven't made any headway. OIP controls must be statically defined.

I will follow up with this idea though - you could use the slider node to define a percentage of a range of values, or even a factor, it just would not directly reflect in the OIP.

Yes, that's what I'm doing now. It works well enough for what I'm trying to do. Thanks for confirming though!
