Hotspot with integer to drive values{2} list

GDL Enthusiast — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 11:33:09 GMT

Hi,

I have seen hotspots used to drive values{2} lists in the past but can't find the example to show now.

I have tried to link a variable 'Switch' driven by a values{2} list:

values{2} "Switch", 0, `Off`, 1, `On`

By using a hotspot called 'dragpoint':

hsid=hsid+1 HOTSPOT2 0, 0, hsid, dragpoint, 1+128 hsid=hsid+1 HOTSPOT2 dragpoint, 0, hsid, dragpoint, 2+512 hsid=hsid+1 HOTSPOT2 0-1, 0, hsid, dragpoint, 3

'dragpoint' has a Values Range to snap at 10mm points:

VALUES 'dragpoint' RANGE [0.01,0.02] STEP 0.01,0.01

Then using INT() to make it into an integer, and multiplying to convert 10mm to 1 integer unit so the values list is driven by a 1 or 2:

Switch = INT(dragpoint*100000) PARAMETERS Switch = Switch

But alas it doesn't play. My hope is to be able to drag a hotspot along snap points to allow selection of a list parameter on the floor plan. Would be very fun.

Many thanks, Matt

I have not done it with VALUES{2}, but I often use switch hotspots in my objects.

Maybe this will help.

I actually have a boolean on/off parameter and a text parameter for on/off.

I find the text parameter is clearer for the user in the parameter list of the object.

Hide one or the other.

In parameter or master script.

swch_dist = 0.075 VALUES "select_hs_swch" "On", "Off" VALUES "select_hs_yDist" swch_dist, -swch_dist !!! ---------- show Selector ---------- if GLOB_MODPAR_NAME = "select_hs_swch" then if select_hs_swch = "On" then select_hs_yDist = -swch_dist select_hs = 1 else select_hs_yDist = swch_dist select_hs = 0 endif endif if GLOB_MODPAR_NAME = "select_hs_yDist" then if abs (select_hs_yDist-swch_dist) < TOL then select_hs_swch = "Off" select_hs = 0 else select_hs_swch = "On" select_hs = 1 endif endif if GLOB_MODPAR_NAME = "select_hs" then if select_hs = 1 then select_hs_yDist = -swch_dist select_hs_swch = "On" else select_hs_yDist = swch_dist select_hs_swch = "Off" endif endif !!! ---------- parameters ---------- parameters select_hs_swch = select_hs_swch, select_hs_yDist = select_hs_yDist, select_hs = select_hs

In 2D script.

!!! ---------- show Selector hotspot---------- HSID=HSID+1 hotspot2 0.0, 0.0 , HSID, select_hs_yDist, 1 ! base HSID=HSID+1 hotspot2 0.0,0.0-1 , HSID, select_hs_yDist, 3 ! ref HSID=HSID+1 hotspot2 0.0, 0.0+select_hs_yDist, HSID, select_hs_yDist, 2, select_hs_hs_swch ! moving HSID=HSID+1

And of course the parameters.

Barry.

Hello

this little button works in any scale just by clicking the hotspot.
