Question: Hi, so sliderchange() can be used in either @slider or @gfx, right? Any benefit one has over the other?

    don't think you'd ever want to use it from @slider, but you could use it from @block too. for the most part sliderchange() is obsolete, except for passing -1 to add an undo point.

    Okay. But "Obsolete"?? In a different plugin, I had some sliders I also made gfx buttons for, I used sliderchange at the gfx to make the slider value/mode change. Is this obsolete? Is there a modern way/feature for this?

    hmm yeah i suppose then, usually you want to use slider_automate() instead which might also have the same effect

    Alright, will try that. When using the sliderchange at the gfx for the buttons and i click on the buttons they turn the actual sliders on or off
