Filmstrips issue? (vertical sliders)

[dizavin]

Hey Gang,

I'm encountering this confusing issue where I load in some filmstrips to some vertical sliders so I can learn about how they work. (loading them from the project "images" folder, Resizing down to fit, not up)

The sliders look okay and the appear to work until I save and reopen the project, make an adjustment to any element of the project or try to export it. The filmstrips then vanish and the stock vertical sliders appear in their place until I highlight them all, adjust the size of the filmstrips by one increment and back. They then reappear and the plugin can be used in HISE and it appears to work... until I make a change, save and reopen or attempted to export the project. Then it all starts again.

This only happens with vertical sliders. I follow the exact same workflow with Knobs and Buttons and they save and work and export without issue.

Is there a specific setting that only applies to vertical sliders that I'm not seeing?

Any help would be appreciated. I've attached some screenshots to help explain what I'm experiencing.

@dizavin Sounds weird...are you sure you dont have any script interrupting that parameter? You could script its size in onInit and see if it sticks. Highlight all of your knobs, make a variable for them, loop through them setting the scaleFactor.

// onInit

const allVerticalSliders = [

Content.getComponent("Slider1"), 
Content.getComponent("Slider2")

];

const scaleFactorNOW = 0.5;

for (a in allVerticalSliders)
{
     a.setAttribute("scaleFactor", scaleFactorNOW); 

}

// off the top of my head. I think thats correct.

@dizavin Leave the type set as knob

@Chazrox I do not have any scripts at all.

@d-healey I'll give that a try.

@d-healey I'll give that a try.

UPDATE: once again @d-healey is on the money. Thanks!

Any chance you are aware of why the "hotbox" of the knobs/sliders is at the very, very bottom of the image?

IE: you can't just click and drag anywhere on the Knob or Slider to adjust it, you have to "grab" it from the very bottom of the image. If I were to give this to a friend and didn't explain that, They would think that the plugin doesn't work. Any idea of why this is different with a filmstrip enabled? you seem to be able to grab anywhere on the default skin.

@dizavin what is the drag direction set to?

[Chazrox]

@dizavin sometimes if "showTextBox" in property editor the text box blocks the slider. Try unchecking that and try again.
