Draggable slider (for Shape Painter)

A draggable slider that users can move to select a numerical value.

Authors and contributors to this experimental extension: D8H, VictrisGames.

Draws a draggable slider that users can move to select a numerical value. The value range, tick spacing, and the appearance of the slider can be defined with properties.

How to use:

Add this behavior a Shape Painter object
Place an instance of that shape painter on the screen where you want the slider to appear
Use the "Value" expression to find the Value based on the position of the slider

Tips:

You can disable the slider to prevent a user from interacting with it
You can set the Value of the slider and the slider will move to the correct position

Further details can be found in this tutorial video.
