Displaying dial positions

What is the best way to display dial positions? I have one that is state-based vs. using a text box for the positions. The current amount of triggers

My project: The learner turns the large dial to set one of five positions. They use the smaller dial to set each digit to 0-9. This arrangement, individual states for each digit on each position, is cumbersome. Is there a better way?  

I currently have the next layer to display with the learner entering the correct frequency (13212.0), and then the learner presses a hotspot to continue. I would like the correct frequency to be entered, triggers to disable both dials, a trigger for the paused timeline to resume from a cue point (3.75 sec), and for the next layer to show at the end of the timeline. I do not want the hotspot.

 

  • Hi DavidNowlin-f8a something like the attached will reduce the amount of logic you will need and takes advantage of referencing variables using the %myVar% method within a text field. The big dial variable, just determines which variable the little dial should assign it's value to. I put some extra logic just to hide the text field if the value is zero, as number variables are initialised as zero.

  • I like your solution. It is much cleaner. I have been asked to have each position start with a specific number. When I advance the larger dial to the next number, the location of the smaller dial sets the number for the new position even with defaults set. If I put a trigger to reset the smaller dial on each turn of the larger dial to the new number the learner would turn the digit to a nine and when the digit was revisited it would default to a 2. 

    I need 1 3 1 2 1 as the default frequency. And if the learner changes the number when they return it will keep their number and not reset to the 1 3 1 2 1 default.
