3 Position Switch Sample

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, Bill LHC

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.

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!

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.
