Outputting percentage value on label

Hi Guys,

I have adapted some code I found and it is working well, except the output the slider gives me is not a percentage but actually one of the %drywet values. How can I change the code attached so it shows percentage values on my label? (Tried to do a code block but said I had too many characters!)

Thanks in advance!

    You can calculate the percentage before you set the text on your reverb label. Multiply the dry-wet value by 100 first, then divide by whatever your maximum dry-wet value is. Below I used the last value in your dry-wet array as said maximum. (fyi, if you instead multiply by 100 *after* dividing, you'll always get 0, which you don't want to do.)

    declare $drywetpercent := %drywet[$reverb] * 100 / %drywet[1000]

set_text($reverb_label, "Reverb " & $drywetpercent & " %")

    I might recommend using the get_engine_par_disp() command instead of referencing your lookup array.

    Something like:

    on ui_control($reverb)
set_text($reverb_label, get_engine_par_disp($ENGINE_PAR_SEND_EFFECT_OUTPUT_GAIN, group, slot, generic) & "%"
end on

    Unfortunately this doesn't work as I am blending between the dry and wet in the reverb insert so I end up with -inf to 0% rather than 0-100%

    Just use the value of your slider.

    $reverb -> label := $reverb / 10 & "." & $reverb mod 10 & " %"
