VC knobs and buttons..

Postby Brett_Henderson » Thu Dec 17, 2009 9:26 am

I'm working on the Bonanza VC now.. I'm trying to make it as 3D and interactive as possible.

I'm stuck on radio knobs..

Brett, the XML script in modeldef.xml is easy to copy/paste/modify to suit your needs.

1. copy/paste/edit the entries for the existing com and nav scripts, and create a new GUID entry to make them unique.

2. copy/paste/edit the actual entries for com and nav scripts, so the entries match the entries created in step 1.

3. select/use the new entries in Max/GMax as needed.

Here is an example. Note that every instance of "nav" has been edited to be "nav2". I used a random GUID generator to create unique numbers for these two definitions:

Code: Select all
<Animation name="knob_nav2_KHz" guid="41719d13-ea61-47c6-aa32-e3da39e86a3d" length="360" type="Sim" typeParam2="knob_nav2_KHz" typeParam="AutoPlay" />
<Animation name="knob_nav2_MHz" guid="1f48569f-9eae-4b43-a7f2-debba74e1a37" length="360" type="Sim" typeParam2="knob_nav2_MHz" typeParam="AutoPlay" />

Hey Brent
What program is that screen shot from?  I have not started to make instruments and switches yet but I need to.  How did you get started and can I do it with out knowing any "C"?
