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.

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.
