Hello everyone,
Does anyone have a 3-position Asobo GT switch that is L:Var based and clicks 0 thru 2 Enums?
I can see the basic 'shell' in Asobo Behaviors, not the guts of how to write the switch. I need a sample to go by. I have looked through the Asobo open planes for such a switch and didnt find one.
Many thanks for any help,

I was able to get the one working that I had been messing with for a few days. Changing the top line and making the Node name the same as the Component name got it working. Add this to the stack of samples.

Thanks WombiiActual for the input.

I have an example of knobs with 3 fixed positions selected with a scrollwheel, setting L:vars, if that helps. If I remember correctly, these two pretty much do the same thing. One uses the ASOBO_GT_Switch_Dummy and one uses ASOBO_GT_Switch_3States. In reality the Switch_Dummy uses the Switch_3States template when 3 states are selected. Hopefully this gets you in the right direction.
<UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_GT_Switch_Dummy">

And here is what the 3States template looks like, with the minimum necessary parameters.
Many thanks, WombiiActual, massively appreciated.
I had seen the basic Behavior template, but didnt know how to fill in the details for coding it to work with L:Vars. Off to check this out. Thanks again!
