Vehicle GUI

NWH Vehicle Physics 2 includes scripts needed to set up a vehicle dashboard or game GUI.
All scripts can be used inside a vehicle combined with World Space Canvas or in Screen Space for game GUI elements such as speedometers, gear indicators, etc.

Dash GUI Controller is the main script and it accepts AnalogGauges, DigitalGauges and DashLights.

Dash GUI Controller

DashGUIController inspector.

DashGUIController is a script to help with setting up vehicle dashboards or game GUI.

It accepts AnalogGauges, DigitalGauges and DashLights.
If Data Source is Vehicle Changer make sure that you have one Vehicle Changer present in the scene. Vehicle Changer as a source should be used for game GUI while Vehicle Controller should be used for in-vehicle dash GUI.

DigitalGauge inspector with numerical option selected.

Simple DigitalGauge example.

DigitalGauge is used to display textual/numerical values on the vehicle dashboard or game GUI.
It requires objects Text named Title and Readout as child objects.
Line Image object is required if Show Progress Bar option is used in which case the image will be scaled to imitate the progress bar.

Unit

If Unit field is populated the unit will be displayed inside the Readout, after the value.

Textual Type

When Textual is selected as Gauge Type the provided String value will be displayed in the Readout object with no further formatting.

Numerical Type

A formatted value of Numerical Value field will be shown.
Format can be defined in the Format field as it would be used in float.ToString() function. Default is 0.00 which will display the value with two decimal points.
Numerical Smoothing smooths the value for easier readout.

Dash Light

DashLight inspector.

Example DashLight.

A simple script that switches Color of an Image between On Color and Off Color, usually white and black.

Color of the Image when the light is on.
Color of the Image when the light is off.
Fade Time - time it takes for the light to turn off, once Hold Time expires. Imitates dash lights that use conventional bulbs.
Hold Time - time it takes for the light to start turning off after the state has changed. Useful to remove flicker from signals that are not persistent but rather change on frame-to-frame basis, e.g. ABS and TCS.
