Nice suggestion.

 

For now you could do something like this:

Use the default values of the slider from 0 to 1, multiply that with your max value. Use the Max component to return the larger of the min value and your multiplied value.

Remap is perhaps better :

Hi Michael,

 

For three years this suggestion has been cropping up and the still no sign... maybe this year... maybe... :)

 

The consensus of opinion seems to point to the Remap Numbers component.

By default the S Input is 0 to 1

Hi

The problem is to catch wrong user inputs or if the value is not supported from the input range.

What should happen with the range if the value is lower or higher

So the best solution is to use the remap as proposed.

 

cheers

Should not be a too big problem, right? Other components can also throw exceptions and give a null output upon invalid input: the slider could also do this?

But what would be the benefit of such a additional component when i can use remap?

seems like one of the differences is when there are multiple sliders.  primarily superficial though.  see attached.  not to be taken as an argument of any kind, just an exercise to see what it would look like.
