Hey,

Ok, here you go:

You need a global game attribute (real) called musicVolume.

In the slider, you need a boolean attribute called "dragging".
You also need 2 attributes (real) called leftLimit and rightLimit.
(those are the left and right boundaries of the slider.)

You need 5 separate rules in the slider:

1. When you click on the slider, change "dragging" to TRUE.

2. When you release the mouse, change "dragging" to FALSE.

3. When "clicked" = TRUE
self.PositionX = Mouse.PositionX

4. When self.PositionX <= leftLimit
self.PositionX = leftLimit

5. When self.PositionX >= rightLimit
self.PositionX = rightLimit

Finally, you need to use Constrain Attribute:
game.musicVolume = floor( self.Position.X - self.leftLimit )/(self.rightLimit - self.leftLimit)

And, if you want live feedback:

Constrain Attribute:
game.Audio.Volume To: game.musicVolume

Hope this helps!
