Throttle Gauge - 2nd Needle

[wrcsubers]

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to get a second Throttle Needle to show up in the Throttle Indicator next to the Navball.

I'm instantiating a new Gauge by:

[FONT=Consolas] [CODE][COLOR=#009695]public[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333] Gauge 2ndGauge [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]=[/COLOR][COLOR=#009695] new[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333] Gauge [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]()[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]; [/COLOR][/CODE][/FONT][CODE][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#333333]2ndGauge [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]=[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333] Instantiate [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]([/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]FlightUIController[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]fetch[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]thr[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333])[/COLOR][COLOR=#009695]as[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333] Gauge[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333];[/COLOR][/FONT][/CODE]

Then copying select values from [COLOR=#333333]'[/COLOR][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#333333]FlightUIController[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]fetch[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]thr' [/COLOR][/FONT]gauge (Not sure this is even necessary since I am instantiating it.

I know the gauges are independent as I get different instanceIDs from each and hence I am able to manipulate the gauge independently by enabling/disabling the stock gauge and the 2nd gauge opposite one another. How can I get a 2nd needle to actually show up? Am I missing some GUI stuff? I also can't seem to find the texture for the stock needle either.


Thanks in advance! Edited November 24, 2015 by wrcsubers

Does anything below help?

You only cloned the Gauge component and not any of its visual bits (the pointer itself is a child containing a MeshFilter and MeshRenderer). Just make sure you get it all
[code][KSPAddon(KSPAddon.Startup.Flight, false)]
public class SecondThrottleNeedle : MonoBehaviour

var source = FlightUIController.fetch.thr.gameObject;
var clone = Object.Instantiate(source, source.transform.position, source.transform.rotation) as GameObject;

_gauge = clone.GetComponent<Gauge>();
_gauge.setValue(0.5f);
_gauge.transform.GetChild(0).renderer.material.color = Color.blue;

clone.transform.parent = source.transform.parent;

StartCoroutine(MoveGauge());
}


private void OnDestroy()
{
_gauge.Do(g => Destroy(g.gameObject));
}


private IEnumerator MoveGauge()
{
_gauge.minValue = 0f;
_gauge.maxValue = 100f;

while (true)

var newValue = (_gauge.maxValue - _gauge.minValue) * UnityEngine.Random.value + _gauge.minValue;

You're not so evil now are ya?! Thanks a bunch that did the trick. How do you know if an object has children? I guess I assumed that EVERYTHING got cloned, but I guess not...

Thanks Again, I'll make sure to mention you when I publish =)

Actually I just double-checked and confused Destroy with Instantiate. Destroy on a Component will destroy only the component, while you're right that Instantiating will clone everything. Did you set the parent of the new clone to the same as the thrust pointer and did you give it a different value? It might have been working the whole time :blush:

That I'm not sure of... Here is what I had:

[LIST]
[*]A single Needle
[LIST]
[*]2nd Gauge was set to 0
[*]Throttle was variable
[*]When both were 'enabled = true' I got the average of the two, ie Full Throttle meant the needle was at 50%
[*]When one or the other was disabled it showed just the value of each individual value.
[/LIST]
[/LIST]

I think you were right in that I was not cloning the visual parts, ie the pointer.
