I am trying to: create a slider that uses images as pagination links

What I have is a view that displays content from a custom post type (clients).
I want to use images (from that post type) as pagination to let visitors switch between the posts (like a slider)
The attached images will explain it hopefully: you see the active slide (Ahold) that matches with the active pagination link (the Ahold truck). When you click the next truck (the yellow one) i want it to switch to that post.

I suggest you do have a look at Module Manager Plugin.

After you download and install it on your System (you can grab it from the known Toolset Download section), you will find that you can install several so-called "Modules".
These are data packages with Structures like Views, Content Templates and Post Types, that let you kickstart Toolset development since you can quickly set up complex systems without having to build them from scratch.

One of those Modules is the "Flex Slider" module, that provides you with the exact feature you ask for.

Thanks. That helped. It would be great to have those examples online somewhere, including code examples.

For other users: you have to make 2 views, 1 for the slides, 1 for pagination. After that you can combine those 2 with some javascript magic. I'm using Slick (hidden link) to make the slider work (and it is responsive).
