error CS0122: 'Slider.Set(float, bool)' is inaccessible due to its protection level

I'm trying to instantiate a series of sliders from a prefab and use some existing parameters to determine the initial value that each slider is set to. Here is the code I'm using:

Code (CSharp):

1.             amplitudeSliders[i] = Instantiate(amplitudeSliderPrefab, new Vector3(-350, 200 - 100 * i, 0), Quaternion.identity).GetComponent<Slider>();
2.             amplitudeSliders[i].transform.SetParent(canvas.transform, false);
3.             amplitudeSliders[i].Set(parameters[i][0], false);
4.             amplitudeSliders[index].onValueChanged.AddListener((float value) => { cyclopods[index].ChangeAmplitude(value); });

The third line in the code above produces an error with error message "error CS0122: 'Slider.Set(float, bool)' is inaccessible due to its protection level". I see in the Unity documentation that the Set method for a slider is, in fact protected rather than public. But whenever I've looked for solutions to the "is inaccessible due to its protection level" issue, it always comes down to changing the method from protected to public. But Sliders are Unity-owned classes, so I can't change the protection level of its methods. Is there some alternate way to set the initial position of the sliders according to a list of parameters?

 

Any reason you can't just set the .value property?

 

Oops! For some reason, I misread the documentation and thought that property was read-only. Thanks!
