Like that:

CombinedControl (
Type ( CP_HANDLE COMBINED_CONTROL )
etc..

Cheers.

Ah, move backward a bit the point of view.


When I name it like that, Gmax says some illegal symbols have been found and automatically names it COMBINEDCONTROL__TYPE_TYPE___CP_HANDLE_COMBINED_CONTROL__

I think you need to name it as CP_HANDLE.
The COMBINED_CONTROL is the type of control in cvf file.

You can rename them later by editing the .s file directly.

I am doing my tests with TSM, who accepts any name to animate, like SPEEDOMETER:0:0 or CP_HANDLE:0:0

A friend and colleague works with 3DS-GMAX and needs to name the objects like Velocimetro or PalancaFreno, and do some
post-processing with Notepad++

Mr. JTang:

Will be VERY helpful to us, the model developpers if you publish a list of the special names used into de cabs and the related variable.

P.e. SPEEDOMETER - speed - kmh

etc.

Cheers.

RTP.

The keywords are the same as used in an MSTS .cvf file, as well as the data range.
For example, the following is the first BRAKE_PIPE defined in DF11GA.cvf, which is used by my pilot model:
		Dial (
			Type ( BRAKE_PIPE DIAL )
			Position ( 114 335 7 21 )
			Graphic ( "DF11G_black.ACE" )
			Style ( POINTER )
			ScaleRange ( 0 1000 )
			ScalePos ( 230 130 )
			Units ( KILOPASCALS )
			Pivot ( 14 )
			DirIncrease ( 0 )
		)


In the Cab.s file, the animation is defined as :
				anim_node BRAKE_PIPE:0:0 (
					controllers ( 1
						tcb_rot ( 3
							slerp_rot ( 0 -4.768488E-02 .1779626 -.9493904 .2543883 )
							slerp_rot ( 1 -.1842405 0 0 .9828812 )
							slerp_rot ( 2 -4.768504E-02 -.1779626 .9493904 .2543882 )
						)
					)
				)

In the cabs.s file, we have a part defined as BRAKE_PIPE:0:0, which corresponds to the first brake_pipe defined in .cvf, and this is the first part of that instrument. It will be used to show 0-1000 (as defined in the line of ScaleRange), by using animations (so the 0 key corresponds to 0, 2 key corresponds to 1000), and will be using the same unit. Key 1 was added so the animation will rotate to the correct direction (0-1-2). For example, if the value is 200, the rotation will be proportionally defined as 20% between key 0 and 2.

For complex instruments, we can use multiple parts and name them as BRAKE_PIPE:0:0, BRAKE_PIPE:0:1, BRAKE_PIPE:0:2, etc.

So the animation lenght in Gmax has to be 1000?

No. For example, I only used 0, 1, 2 in the animation (i.e. three animation positions, 0 for the start rotation, 2 for the largest rotation, 1 is an intermediate rotation).

So if I understood this correctly, for a 18 node animation (e.g the combined handle) I could use 0 - 17?
Do I name the part in Gmax as CP_HANDLE COMBINED_CONTROL? Because that it what my .cvf says next to "Type"?
I'll try another animation, e.g the horn button and see if I can animate it successfully.

As I mentioned previously, you should name it CP_HANDLE. The other string is a cvf file configuration option, not a control name.

Not sure if I'm a complete idiot but I can't seem to make it work. I'll just attach the whole animation part of my .s file below. Any ovious sign of errors? If so, what can I do to correct them?
