Digital Speedometer

Guys,

Am trying to incorporate a digital speedometer into one of my tram cabs but have read through the guide on the Open website and it may as well be written in double dutch, it doesn't make the blindest bit of sense to me, anyone have any ideas where to start please?

Thanks

Tom

Probably the same principle as the digital clock, with code to link to the ats function for kph. I've done a digital clock but not the speedo. However, in OpenBVE the route clock is displayed (ctrl+C) and the speed is displayed (ctrl+V) so there is that in common.
In the clock the figures on the bitmap are shifted by the formula:

TextureShiftYFunction = 0.1 * floor[mod[time * 0.000277777777777778, 24] * 0.1]

so maybe if you substituted time for speed it would work.
Of course clock uses 12 units/hour and 60/min so speed might be simpler as its strictly decimal.

What kind of cab is that? 2D or 3D?

I think it HAS to be 3D construction for it to work. Animated file format is used for the clock, which is what I was thinking when I mentioned it.
If it is possible with a panel2 cab I would like to know, but I don't think it is.

OK Derryck, thanks for that tip!

Thanks for the replies guys, the cab I'm trying to build is a 3D cab but I've never attempted anything like this so its all a new theory. I'll maybe have a go at building a digital clock into the cab to see how I get on with that and then maybe attempt the digital speedo. I'll have a look at some others and see how theyre constructed but sometimes thats more confusing! What am I going to need to make this work like which components?

Regards,

Tom
