I'm making a music game where you can change the instrument, note, drum, rest, etc. with sliders (a form of variables). The sliders are preset from 0-100. How do I change the range of the variable numbers? Is it possible to use decimals, like 0-1 (including all the decimals in between)? Because I'm sure that people don't want to have 19 second rests. And there are only so many instruments, notes, and drums.

If i understand your question right, you're asking how to expand/set the parameters/scope of sliders, right?

Well, i don't believe you can do that, but i will test something and get back with you… I may be able to figure that out.

You can program buttons to change a variable any way you want to.

If you show a variable on the stage, you can then right click on the variable and select slider from the pop up menu and once set can right click and then set the min and max values for the slider. If you set min to 0.1 and max to 1 then it will use increments of 0.1. Works for version 1.4 and assume 2 is no different.

Yep just tried it with version 2 and it works as well, in fact uses increments of 0.01 too.

Thank you so much for your help! Yes, it does work in 2.0. Thank you again! I can definitely use this in many scripts.

Oh, don't worry about it. Someone else gave me an answer.

That does not answer my question, but I already got a different answer.

I see, and am glad someone knew about that, because i didn't.

Well, then, both of us learned something new.
