How to have a button group slider have an "entry" for "no buttons"?

Question

Lets say I have 5 buttons in a button group (B1-B5). The group is "driven" by a slider (S1).

Obviously as I press buttons, it's doing the radio button thing as it's supposed to and S1 moves to it's appropriate position.

Now, I'm using the option where if you press the "lit" button again, it turns off and you have no buttons lit. It's this state I'd like to capture in the slider... That way I can control button states by moving the slider, and it will include a position for "no buttons"

So in the example above, instead of 5 slider positions, there would be 6, where 6 (or zero) would be "no buttons"

Is that possible somehow?

The only thing I can think of is to have a "dummy" button that functions as a "do nothing"... But that's gonna clutter my layout (which already requires a magnifying glass and tweezers to operate. :) )

you know you can hide controls in performance, right? Also please note that controls that don't need to be visible can be anywhere, including in another bank/page (you know you've got up to 8 banks x 6 pages per bank). Thanks!

Yup, I know about hiding controls, but it seems this dummy button thing is not working how I expected. I'll have to fiddle with it a bit more.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Hide button #1 in performance so it is your "no buttons" option.

Then set the slider:

relationships > options as super > button group second press > bounce to first button

Does that do the trick?

Almost. But I have it to turn off on second press. Works better for what I'm trying to do. :) Thanks for the help!
