3. the skystar


4. the wants to be edgy wave


5. the 'pk wants to be special' wav

Nr 1, somehow it's easier for me to imagine it that way.

I do 4, but my nodes go further and outside of the slider so it ends up looking more like 3

2 but I make sure that the first and last point are horizontally aligned.

I vary between 4 different types of wave sliders depending on the song / sound I am following.


Option 1:
I use this one if I don't want strong curves (very calm sound / song), also I think it fits best together with slightly curved sliders. Since I don't make maps like this that often I rarely use this type of wave slider.

Option 2:
This was my main type of wave slider (if not the only one) until about one year ago. It's the easiest one to make, I use it when I make maps in a purposely 'generic' style (which doesn't happen that often these days, either).

Mao already linked it:
My favourite type of wave slider. Using more points makes it possible to have a wave with much stronger curves, which fits the best to my current mapping style. It simply looks delicious.

The 4th one I sometimes use is similar to Option 6. However, instead of using a red anchor in the middle of the slider, I use 3 grey anchors in a line with very low space between them (only a few pixels). The reason is that it makes the wave slider more smooth-looking. Overall this type of wave slider is best to use if you want to blanket something with it perfectly (with the other types it's nearly impossible to create a perfect blanket).


About the other options you showed, (3) looks pretty similar to (1) except it's diagonal (also I don't really recall Skystar doing this), (4) I only really know from EvilElvis' maps, I don't think it looks very good though, (5) is pretty similar to (1).

The three grey anchors in a line technique is cool, yeah. I tend to use it as well.

I guess I use all of the variations shown above with some Krfawy adidtions. Below are my typical examples I guess:

*Andrea's symmetry*
*Crooked S Letter*
*Krfawy's Version of a Tpyical Ayu Wave*
*Fastest Way to Make Waves*

*All Above Waves Gathered Together*'

Also I like making wavy things with some small circles but then I end up creating circle sliders with some wave additions like *THIS* when I'm just trying to make blanket waves. Help. :C

I agree, new sliderlibrary would be cool I suppose.
I tend to do 2/6 but I will totally try the others in the future.

i've used number 2 since a year ago. Now i started to use number 6 lately cuz it looks much neater xd

the diffrence between 2 and 6 is that number 6 has the red node on it. While number 2, you can freely adjust the grey nodes without having a red node to adjust.

Sine wave approximation slider (slider 5 is similar, but uses less points, making the approximation less accurate)

pros of using 2 instead of 6 is that you have a much easier time adjusting the slider itself to how you want to make it work

however with 6 you can actually blanket stuff properly in the slider wave which is pretty damn useful lately

i laughed out loud at #3 "the skystar" lmao

A lot time ago in a mod Cherry Blossom told me to use #5 (pk) instead of #6 (lfj) to make my wave sliders so I kinda stuck with it

no clue how the 3 is me cuz i've barely even drawn a slider like that LO

90% of my wave sliders after 2015 are like 2 and before that they were either 1 or 6

idk technically it's pretty much a mix of 5/6 since the three grey nodes act very similar to the red one from 6
SPOILER


^the one I most "commonly" use
or this one:

But it's pretty situational depending on how I want it to curve lol

3 is called "the skystar" because you're the only oen who puts sliderend on lower Y-axis while 2 has sliderend and sliderstart points aligned horizontally
