I am using actiontimer plugin. Here is the code :-

Code: Select all

[Variables]
XPos=200
Accent01=255,0,4,100
State=1
Velocity=0
Update=[!UpdateMeasure DeceleratingSlider][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
Amount=200

[DeceleratingSlider]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=ActionTimer
ActionList1=Repeat SlideLeft, 30, 25
SlideLeft=[!SetVariable State "2"][!SetVariable Velocity "(Clamp((#Velocity#+1),0,20))"][!SetVariable XPos "(Trunc((#Amount#-#Amount#*(1-1/(2048**(0.05*#Velocity#))))))"]#Update#
ActionList2=Repeat SlideRight, 30, 25
SlideRight=[!SetVariable State "1"][!SetVariable Velocity "(Clamp((#Velocity#-1),0,20))"][!SetVariable XPos "(Trunc((#Amount#-#Amount#*(1-1/(2048**(0.05*#Velocity#))))))"]#Update#
DynamicVariables=1



[MeterMainbar]
Meter=image
X=-#XPos#
Y=1
W=240
h=1080
StrokeWidth 0 | Stroke Color 0,120,255
SolidColor=#Accent01#

DynamicVariables=1
Group=Sliders
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure DeceleratingSlider "Execute #State#"]

It's a skin you made right?

You increase the width of the meter and then slide the amount of width with action timer.

I can't help with the formulas as you are making some kind of easing there, with those complex formulas.

As D.C. mentioned you will need to change the values of your XPos and Amount that are used in your action timer.
You do not need to change the action timer, only the variables and the image meter.
Here is your code with variables added for those values and modified meter to reflect those variables.
You set the maximum and minimum widths in the variables and refresh.

Code: Select all

[Variables]
; Set this to your desired sidebar maximum/minimum widths
ExpandedBarWidth=240
MinimumBarWidth=40
; Subtract your desired sidebar minumum width from your maximum width
XPos=(#ExpandedBarWidth#-#MinimumBarWidth#)
Accent01=255,0,4,100
State=1
Velocity=0
Update=[!UpdateMeasure DeceleratingSlider][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
; Set this to the same as your XPos value
Amount=(#ExpandedBarWidth#-#MinimumBarWidth#)

[DeceleratingSlider]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=ActionTimer

ActionList1=Repeat SlideLeft, 30, 25
SlideLeft=[!SetVariable State "2"][!SetVariable Velocity "(Clamp((#Velocity#+1),0,20))"][!SetVariable XPos "(Trunc((#Amount#-#Amount#*(1-1/(2048**(0.05*#Velocity#))))))"]#Update#

ActionList2=Repeat SlideRight, 30, 25
SlideRight=[!SetVariable State "1"][!SetVariable Velocity "(Clamp((#Velocity#-1),0,20))"][!SetVariable XPos "(Trunc((#Amount#-#Amount#*(1-1/(2048**(0.05*#Velocity#))))))"]#Update#

DynamicVariables=1



[MeterMainbar]
Meter=image
; This positions this meter off the left of the screen (making most of it invisible)
; Always enclose formulas in parentheses
X=(-#XPos#)
W=#ExpandedBarWidth#
; This leaves a 1-pixel space at the top and bottom of the sidebar to allow access to collapsed (autohide) taskbars
Y=1
H=(#WorkAreaHeight#-2)
StrokeWidth 0 | Stroke Color 0,120,255
SolidColor=#Accent01#

DynamicVariables=1
Group=Sliders
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure DeceleratingSlider "Execute #State#"]

Hey sorry couldnt reply earlier. Strangely it dosent change anything. I am wondering why amount and Xpos are equal to expandedwidth-minnimumwidth.
Maybe I made a mistake. here is the code...

Code: Select all

[Variables]
; Set this to your desired sidebar maximum/minimum widths
ExpandedBarWidth=400
MinimumBarWidth=20
; Subtract your desired sidebar minumum width from your maximum width
XPos=(#ExpandedBarWidth#-#MinimumBarWidth#)
Accent01=255,0,4,100
State=1
Velocity=0
Update=[!UpdateMeasure DeceleratingSlider][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
; Set this to the same as your XPos value
Amount=(#ExpandedBarWidth#-#MinimumBarWidth#)


[MeterMainbar]
Meter=image
X=-#XPos#
Y=1
W=240
h=1080
StrokeWidth 0 | Stroke Color 0,120,255
SolidColor=#Accent01#

DynamicVariables=1
Group=Sliders
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure DeceleratingSlider "Execute #State#"]

You did not change the meter to use the new variables, that is why it doesn't do anything.

Replace the [MeterMainbar] with the code posted for that section and it will work.

Actually, if you would copy the entire code into a new skin, it will work.

eclectic-tech's code does perfectly works (as usually). Yours does as well, however here indeed is a small mistake: you've forgotten the Amount variable from the [Variables] section. Add it to the end of the [Variables] section (or at least after the ExpandedBarWidth and MinimumBarWidth variables): Amount=(#ExpandedBarWidth#-#MinimumBarWidth#)
