How To... > Work with Dynamic Parameters (Sliders) > Make a Slider Do a Random Walk
Suppose, just for fun, you want a slider value to bounce around in a random walk.
1. | Make a slider and name it place. |
2. | Give the slider this formula: place + RandomPick(-1, 1). |
3. | In the slider’s inspector, set the value of the Max_updates_per_second property to some positive value. |
4. | Press the slider’s animation button and watch the fun. |
Note: Were you surprised that you didn’t get the dreaded #Circular Reference# error with this slider formula? Slider formulas are allowed to refer to themselves!
