Hey @Patfoodya1! Welcome to the forums!
Sliders work best with a consistent scale, so numbers like “0, 50, 100, 150”. If that’s doable for you, great! Set that multiplier on your event to the scale # you want, and use the ROUNDED number on your widget instead of the pure float! 
If you’re going for something like “1, 7, 11, 500, 17352” you’re probably going to need to use another kind of interface, like a set of buttons.
