Setting min and max values
I'm trying to set the glow of a sculpture to 53 to 70 and connect it to r2 to increase the brightness to 70 when I press it and then back down to 53 when I let go. I used signal manipulators and value sliders but nothing works. The glow value doesn't budge. It just stays at 53 when I press r2. Any help is really appreciated, thanks.

First check that R2 is actually doing something, e.g. just plug it into a default slider and check the slider moves. If it doesn't, there's something wrong with your controller sensor setup (is it a puppet? if not, have you set it to 'remote control' type?)
Otherwise, it seems like you have the right idea:
R2 output >> signal manipulator that remaps 0:1 to 0.53:0.7 >> glow amount.
Make sure that the input pin for Glow doesn't have an X symbol, which means it's multiplying the value with the input rather than replacing it. You can cycle input pin types with L1 + X whilst hovering over the pin. (You can also prevent this happening in the first place by setting the value of the property to 0 before connecting to the pin)
You shouldn't need sliders at all, just controller sensor > signal manipulator > object. -
Another way to do this is to set the glow at the minimum value, and record the max value into a keyframe. Then power the keyframe directly with R2.

Thank you for the response. I think I did everything you said. Using the signal manipulator graph is just a real pain. I had to play around with the graph until I got 53 to 69. I'm settling for 69. Maybe there's something I'm not getting. Anyway thanks for the help.

Ok i'l try that too, thanks
