How do I Reset to Initial Values ?

Hi All,

I've tried to do this by myself but got confused during the process so I'm here for help.

I thought it will be simple for me to do since it's "just" setting values after all... but I got lost every time either with the knobs position or the values where off even when I set them manually... couldn't sync them together like the original initial slider value code.

.

I'm trying to have "RESET" button for each slider so it can bring back both Variable and Knob Values to the original / initial numbers that I insert on the Instance Variable "Value".

Here is an example file, please ignore my disabled attempts (you can remove them)

Thanks ahead for any help!

The initial value code uses some variables but then these variables change. You need to create some instance variables that don't change to be used as default values. Then you can set the objects back to these original values. Your disabled code doesn't work because those values have changed. If instead it was self.defaultAdjustHSL_Value then it would work and you update another variable self.curAdjustHSL when the sliders move.

Hmmm... so if I'll create EXTRA variables to start with like your example:

self.defaultAdjustHSL and so on for each of the knobs, it will be possible to address them when pressing the button?

I'm just trying to see if I understand the logic behind it before I'll be lost again, thanks! :)

I think I got closer by adding the Default variables, but once I got to the code I got lost again...

— can you please have a look and explain how can I clean up my mess? I think it should be more simple and maybe I over do it with unnecessary extra code because I got confused, so it's hard for me to follow the code even when I try to look at every line again and again.

Thanks ahead for any help! :)

I've set a default instance variable directly onto the knob.

Of course your could also set local variables directly into the code.

Or use global variables instead.

But this should work just fine.

That's because i didn't touch your code down there. ^^

Here, fixed that for you.

Please note that i didn't read myself through your code, so it's absolutely possible that there's still something messed up.

You should personaly know what you're doing.

If you can't keep up with your own pace, make sure to add comments to your own code so you understand what's going on, even 5 years later.

You can still put that bottom part together with what i wrote to make it smaller.

Here's a cleaner version:

Hope it helps.

To achieve what you want, simply focus first and decide on what exactly you want to achieve.

In the end it's always the same:

1. Pick the right object (left side -> events/expressions)

2. Modify the right variables/values (right side -> actions)

If you are not sure on how to do something specific, take a look at the manual.

All the basic things are covered there and should help you to find your way around.

Here you see some connections as of data is being set to which picked object.

I see at the bottom still some issues, such as the Knob.Value which sets its value to the last selected Knob. But it should give you some idea on what is connected with each other.
