I think it could be called "roller coaster" slider
Slider node art!

The slider type kinda kills the slider itself for me, though. I think it'd look much nicer with mmsliders. Right now the slider type makes it non-symmetrical-looking. D:

Close enough in any case. Any slight differences can be adjusted anyway, and I'm already having a much easier time with elbows.mm201 wrote:

I find using the Reverse selection (Ctrl+R) very useful in making sliders symmetrical. That way you know the corrdinates of the endpoint.
EDIT: Though this is a good tutorial

And reverse can ruin the slider
Probably the best way to make symmetrical sliders is to make make a copy of your slider and paste a quarter note after your original slider. Then do the horizontal flip/reversing before trying to align the nodes to fit the shape. That way you have a constant replica that you can follow at all times.

Not if the sliderend lines up with the last point properly, or if the second to last point is a red one.OzzyOzrock wrote:

Is THAT why you used to abuse redpoints?RandomJibberish wrote:

Actually I used to abuse redpoints because the threshold of where the slider snaps back to the next tick was too low - it was impossible to line the sliderend up with the last node. I was always too lazy to endpoint nudge like mm or witchcraft symmetrify like m980, so I did the redpoint thing.
Oh oh oh, I know that heart sliders are old news, but I felt like sharing this heart slider that I made for Jarby a while back, because I'm still reasonably pleased with it.
One of these days, this medley will be finished.
DEEDUPDATE: I tried to make a spiral slider.

Use the Scale tool to grow that spiral enough so that its borders don't touch.
How do you do the sign for infinity (an 8 lying down) with a relatively short slider?
My current one looks like this: http://gyazo.com/fdc74d9ce6807d6bd73774e31e609252

This is sexy.

Yeah... they probably all suck, but I love them anyway... XD

Learn to use fewer nodes. Your life will be a lot easier that way.
Also, somebody needs to come up with a tidy way of making spirals, because I haven't seen them made without a messy mess of points.

Construct a perfect spiral in illustrator or something, export as image, set as background, line up slider, scale as needed. That should work.
Is this an okay way of making wave sliders?
m980 used to make some that way a long time ago. It's harder to get them looking as smooth as with other methods.
Yeah, just use nodes. It's not hard to make sliders without the anchor in the middle--just move points around until you have two smooth arcs.
Oh man this thread is awesome hnng.Mappers should pay more attention to the sliders, some make you want to
Its really a pain to mod, I swear to god If I see a map with bad sliders, I'll link this thread in my modpost.RandomJibberish wrote:

Good. RJ created this thread in order to save time during his own mods. However, bear in mind that some sliders don't have to be perfect if they're simple, although it definitely helps if they are. Such basics as making tidy sliders and patterns ought to be imposed on mappers more often, especially those who are new. Jarby pestered me countless times to look at this thread until I got sliders right and I have few problems with them now.Lolicore Flandre wrote:

DEEDIT: Just a happy little contribution with some circle size 2 blankets (AR0 to show distant objects):
Interlocking magic.
Almost a 'Glamorous Sky' overlap, but AR3 + slider snaking prevents the overlap elegantly.
Not totally perfect, but I had to take the bottom slider out of snap and it took forever to make it work at all:
Fancy circular blanketing:
Horizontal symmetry is created with circles (yes, they line up perfectly):
D33d oh my hnng
also what I saw today

That's just more effort than is needed. Why they couldn't create those chevrons out of five points is beyond me. Never mind the fact that they could just copy one slider and rotate it, but they probably haven't met the rotate tool.
No matter how hard I try, I can never ever make good looking sliders. ;_;

You can do if if you BELIEVE!

I feel good with making 3-node(very simple) sliders :>
omg Real the last one....
