Are you using the Slider as a Control (an input) or an Indicator (an output)?
If you are using it as an Indicator, then you can make it take on any value in its range simply by writing that value to it. For example, if it goes from 0 to 10, and you have something that goes from 0 to 100 and want to make it do 0..10, 0..10, 0..10, then you can take your value (say, 23), pass it through the Quotient/Remainder (or "Div/Mod") function with 10 as the divisor, and wire the Remainder (which will be 3) to the Indicator. Similarly, if you want it to start at 5 and go up for some inputs and down for others, just figure out what it should show and wire it. I notice that you specify it should "reset to 5" when bad parts are made, so if it's been Good, Good, Good (so 5, 6, 7), then it goes Bad, Bad, Bad, you'd send 5, then 4, then 3.
On the other hand, if it is a Control, you can still "reset" it by either writing whatever value you want to a local Variable for the Control, or using a Property Node for the control and writing to the Value property.
