Value list for arrayed parameters

[Barry Kelly]

I know how to set up a VALUE list for a standard parameter.

VALUES "param_name" "value_1', "value_2", ......

But is it possible to set a value list for an arrayed parameter?
Something like ...
VALUES "param_name [1][1]" "value_1', "value_2", ......


I have a window that has a variable number of horizontal and vertical panels.
Each of these panels can be fixed (F), awning (A) or louvre (L).
At the moment I have each panel listed with a separate parameter as that is the only way I can get the value list to work.

Am I overlooking something obvious or can it not be done?

Barry.

Thank you for the attachments Olivier and Juha.
I think I have done something very similar to Olivier's example although not quite so eloquently.
I will digest these scripts and see how I can improve.
Thanks again.
Barry.

Hi Juha,

Thanks for the displayParam tip! I missed this one too.

@ Barry:
Just add this display Parameter, and hotspots will dispay a panel Type (A, F or L) instead of a distance. More intuitive.

	hotspot2  0,  0        , uid, switch, 1+128         : uid = uid+1    ! base
	hotspot2  0, -1        , uid, switch, 3             : uid = uid+1    ! ref
	hotspot2  0,  switch, uid, switch, 2, panType : uid = uid+1    ! moving

Great tip Juha!
I'd just use a radius/angular hotspot instead of a linear one.

try the attached one also... it is just a tip to get a "simulated" UI.
1. Insert the object
2. Move the central hotspot to the right or to the left and the UI appears
3. use the hotspot on the buttons to make your choice
4. move again the central hotspot to the centre to hide the UI

P.S. you can use a better image for simulating the buttons... I used this one (low quality) just because it comes from the object preview (in this way I avoided to include the image as external source).

Thanks Fabrizio,
That graphical hotspot selection is a great idea and may come in handy.
Very much appreciated.

Hi folks,

Barry, thanks for the imput of this thread. There is always something to learn.

Fabrizio, nice tip! Simplicity is the best.

Attached a collection of various hotspot tips inspired from this thread,
+ an old one from Oleg. Examples are easy to customize. Maybe this can help some people.

Best regards to Joachim, Juha, Fabrizio, Oleg and Barry.
