Brett, the XML script in modeldef.xml is easy to copy/paste/modify to suit your needs.

1. copy/paste/edit the <Animation...guid=.../> entries for the existing com and nav scripts, and create a new GUID entry to make them unique.

2. copy/paste/edit the actual <PartInfo> entries for com and nav scripts, so the <Name> entries match the <Animation...etc> entries created in step 1.

3. select/use the new entries in Max/GMax as needed.

Here is an example. Note that every instance of "nav" has been edited to be "nav2". I used a random GUID generator to create unique numbers for these two definitions:

Code:

<Animation name="knob_nav2_KHz" guid="41719d13-ea61-47c6-aa32-e3da39e86a3d" length="360" type="Sim" typeParam2="knob_nav2_KHz" typeParam="AutoPlay" />
<Animation name="knob_nav2_MHz" guid="1f48569f-9eae-4b43-a7f2-debba74e1a37" length="360" type="Sim" typeParam2="knob_nav2_MHz" typeParam="AutoPlay" /> 

Code:

<PartInfo>
  <Name>knob_nav2_KHz</Name>
  <AnimLength>360</AnimLength>
  <Animation>
    <Parameter>
      <Code>(A:NAV2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY, KHz) 100 / 10 % 36 * dnor</Code>
    </Parameter>
  </Animation>
  <MouseRect>
    <Cursor>Hand</Cursor>
    <TooltipID>TOOLTIPTEXT_NAV2_FREQ</TooltipID>
    <MouseFlags>WheelUp+WheelDown+LeftDrag+LeftSingle</MouseFlags>
    <CallbackJumpDragging>
      <XMovement>
        <Delta>5</Delta>
        <EventIdInc>NAV2_RADIO_FRACT_INC</EventIdInc>
        <EventIdDec>NAV2_RADIO_FRACT_DEC</EventIdDec>
      </XMovement>
    </CallbackJumpDragging>
  </MouseRect>
</PartInfo>

<PartInfo>
  <Name>knob_nav2_MHz</Name>
  <AnimLength>360</AnimLength>
  <Animation>
    <Parameter>
      <Code>(A:NAV2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY, MHz) 10 % 10 * dnor</Code>
    </Parameter>
  </Animation>
  <MouseRect>
    <Cursor>Hand</Cursor>
    <TooltipID>TOOLTIPTEXT_NAV2_FREQ</TooltipID>
    <MouseFlags>WheelUp+WheelDown+LeftDrag+LeftSingle</MouseFlags>
    <CallbackJumpDragging>
      <XMovement>
        <Delta>5</Delta>
        <EventIdInc>NAV2_RADIO_WHOLE_INC</EventIdInc>
        <EventIdDec>NAV2_RADIO_WHOLE_DEC</EventIdDec>
      </XMovement>
    </CallbackJumpDragging>
  </MouseRect>
</PartInfo>
 

You are most welcome.  Share the knowledge!

That's the Gmax, FSTools, Attach-Point menu.. It's where you do things like control part visibility (wheels and props); mouse rectangles (for operating VC knobs, levers, switches, buttons); and where you attach things like effects (for lighting, and smoke)..

No programming required.. other than modifying existing XML code, as above.
