jQuery fader dots交互功能

如何在音量控制器中实现可点击的指示点，其功能与下面的代码类似。也就是说，当点击相应的点时，它会褪色为它绑定的相应图像？我已经创建了这些点，它们可以转换为按钮以实现可点击性，但我如何创建一个函数，该函数是什么？

function cycleImages() {
  var $active = $('.image.active'); //get the active tab
  var $next = $active.next().length > 0 ? $active.next() : $('.image:first');
  //check next length if not present just get the first .image div
  //fade out the top image and remove active class from it in callback
  $active.animate({
    opacity: '0'
  }, 400, function() {
    $active.removeClass('active')
    $next.animate({
      opacity: '1'
    }, 400, function() {
      $next.addClass('active');
    })
  });
}
// run every 5s
setInterval(cycleImages, 5000);

div.image div.caption {
  display: visible;
  position: absolute;
  overflow: hidden;
  z-index: 20;
  color: white;
  background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.35);
  height: 20%;
  width: 100%;
  bottom: 0;
}
.fader {
  border-radius: 1em;

  margin: 0 auto;
  border-left: 1.5em solid #aa917d;
  border-right: 1.5em solid #aa917d;

  overflow: hidden;
}
.fader div.image img {
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
  margin: 0 auto;
  z-index: 1;
  position: absolute;
}
div.image img {
  z-index: 5;
}
div.image{
  opacity:0;
  transition:all 1s ease-in;
}
div.image.active{
  opacity:1;
}
div.image:not(.active){
      display:none;  
}
.dots {
    float: right;
    background-color: rgba(65,45,30,0.5);
