Divi – Slide Navigation On Button Optimisation

I have a slide navigation script that allows me to navigate to a particular slide using an “nth-child(#) that triggers a click event.

Each button currently has its own slide reference, i.e Slide-1 button will link to nth-child(1) and so forth through to slide/button 8

I am looking for ways to optimise the below script using a loop or something similar so that it is more manageable and still keeps the same functionality.

<script>
  
jQuery(document).ready(function( $ ) {
  
var selector = '.activelinks a';
$(selector).on('click', function(){
    $(selector).removeClass('active');
    $(this).addClass('active');
});
  
$("#Slide-1").on("click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(".et-pb-controllers a:nth-child(1)").trigger("click");
});
    
$("#Slide-2").on("click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(".et-pb-controllers a:nth-child(2)").trigger("click");
});
    
$("#Slide-3").on("click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(".et-pb-controllers a:nth-child(3)").trigger("click");
});
    
$("#Slide-4").on("click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(".et-pb-controllers a:nth-child(4)").trigger("click");
});
  
$("#Slide-5").on("click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(".et-pb-controllers a:nth-child(5)").trigger("click");
});
    
$("#Slide-6").on("click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(".et-pb-controllers a:nth-child(6)").trigger("click");
});
    
$("#Slide-7").on("click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(".et-pb-controllers a:nth-child(7)").trigger("click");
});
    
$("#Slide-8").on("click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(".et-pb-controllers a:nth-child(8)").trigger("click");
});
});
</script>
