Dial Code Help

[Tankerguy72]

Hello All,

I'm having an issue with coding a couple dials in my VC. The dials are the DRP QTY and CVG Level dials. I have the aninimations working correctly except I want them to always start at Line on DRP QTY and 3 on CVG Level.

When I add the 80 in front of the code, the dial starts in the correct spot but I can only move the dial from the 80 key to the 100 key. I know I am probably missing something simple. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Write a short initialization Element. Since L: variables all start at 0 when a plane is loaded, check an L:Initialize_DRP, bool variable if it is zero. If it is, set the two variables you need and then set the L:Initialize_DRP variable to 1. You can name the L: variable anything you like.
