As the title says, how do you make "squiggly" sliders? Example:



I looked in the editor to see how it was done, but I just can't duplicate it. The slider always ends up just going straight instead of up and down the path. I duplicated this:



Yet, I don't get the same effect. Any help appreciated :) !

I don't know how the "experts" "experts" do it, but it might involve going Grid Level 3 and 1/8 Grid Divisor on everyone's butts.

Oh, and Catmull-Rom Slider Curve I bet...

That's all I can think of...:/

How do I change the Grid-Divisor? All I see is Snap-Divisor.

Grid level 3, 1/8th beat snap divisor, and linear (Hit the A key while in Editor). I tried it with Catmull, and it didn't look nearly as neat as when I did it in Linear. Also,you can either do it the way they did it, or for more crampness, have it being pairs of 2 rows of points parallel to each other, so you place a point, one below it, then one up and to the right of it, then below that, then up and to the right, and repeat.

you don't do need to use grid snapping, it's just recommended for cleanliness.
I can't imagine doing it without the grid, that'd be awful

Eh, I can line things up pretty well with my own eyes...but the day I consider the average internet user to be on my level is the day I over-estimate the average internet user's ability to line things up well with his/her own eyes.

Anyhow I think the best medicine for something like this is experimentation. Don't be afraid to make and delete a slider 30 times before you get one that you can accept. It's not like religious-extremist child-birth. You're not stuck with the hideous monsters you create.
