Slider help, pls.

[:1]I have 3 variables that I want to update using sliders. Here they are with the functions that use them:


Code:

city = 320
normal = 120
combat = 50
-- Functions that change the height 
function ChatHeight_City()
 DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:SetHeight(city);
end

function ChatHeight_Normal()
 DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:SetHeight(normal);
end

function ChatHeight_Combat()
 DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:SetHeight(combat);
end

I created the sliders in xml. Here is an example:


Code:

<Slider name="slider1" inherits="OptionsSliderTemplate">
   <Size>
    <AbsDimension x="220" y="16"/>
   </Size>
   <Anchors>
    <Anchor point="CENTER">
   <Offset><AbsDimension x="0" y="120"/></Offset>
   </Anchor>
   </Anchors>
   <Scripts>
    <OnLoad>
     getglobal(this:GetName().."Text"):SetText("Normal Height");
     getglobal(this:GetName().."High"):SetText("600");
     getglobal(this:GetName().."Low"):SetText("50");
     this:SetMinMaxValues(50,600);
     this:SetValueStep(10);
    </OnLoad>
  <OnValueChanged> sliderUpdate();  </OnValueChanged>

but I have no idea what to do with the sliderUpdate function.

I want to thank everyone for all the help I have been getting. My 1st addon is almost complete!

"Slider:GetValue()" would do the trick to read the position of the slider.

Also, you should set the orientation of the slider somewhere. In LUA-code it's like this:

Slider:SetOrientation("orientation") - "HORIZONTAL" or "VERTICAL".|||Thank you. Took some fiddling, but I got it.|||

There's only 1 variable to Sliders, enjoyment.|||My 1st addon is nearly complete, but the last step is driving my crazy. I have the those 3 variables (plus 1 more for a checkbox) saved per character and I want them to be pre-set into the options panel. I am using this:SetValue(normal), this:SetValue(city), this:SetValue(combat), and this:SetChecked(combatHide) to load the variables into the options, but it is using my original, default variables when I do this and not my saved variables. How do I make it set to the saved variables?

Thanks again. And thanks for that delicious slider pic. Now I am hungry! White Castle here I come.
