XML Gauge switch

[merlin371]

Hello, I'm trying to make a guage that will switch between value 0 and 1, this is the code I have so far

<Gauge Name="Rotor Brake" Version="1.0">
<Element>
<Select>
<Value>(G:Var1)</Value>
<Case Value="1">
<Image Name="Rotor_Brake_ON.bmp"/>
</Case>
<Case Value="0">
<Image Name="Rotor_Brake_OFF.bmp"/>
</Case>
</Select>
</Element>
<Mouse>
<Cursor Type="Hand"/>
<Click>(G:Var1)!(&gt;G:Var1)</Click>
</Mouse>
</Gauge>

if I set the <click> to give the value of 1 to G:Var1 it works but then ofc it doesnt switch back so is there anything wrong there to why this isnt going back and forth?

Try this line of code very simple

 <Gauge Name="Lower Panel Fuel and Clutch" Version="1.0" Author="Donald Elliott">
  <Image Name="lw_pnl_back.bmp" Luminous="no" ImageSizes="411,512" /> 
- <Element>
  <Position X="78" Y="54" /> 
- <Select>
  <Value>(A:Rotor clutch switch pos,bool)</Value> 
- <Case Value="0">
  <Image Name="Rotor_Brake_ON.bmp" /> 
  </Case>
- <Case Value="1">
  <Image Name="Rotor_Brake_OFF.bmp" /> 
  </Case>
  </Select>
  </Element>
- <Mouse>
- <Area Left="78" Right="385" Top="54" Bottom="190">
  <Tooltip>Rotor Clutch: In = ON</Tooltip> 
  <Cursor Type="Hand" /> 
  <Click Event="ROTOR_CLUTCH_SWITCH_TOGGLE" /> 
  </Area>
- </Mouse>
  </Gauge>

IN this example we used the function of an internal variable called Rotor clutch switch pos, and the bool refers to your 0 and 1, or Boolean

Next well do the same function using a User variable G:var1
var1 is refering to a uservariable name could aswell be rusty, puppy, you name it.
G: refers to a variables that apply to only one panel.
I prefer to use the L: it will refer to all panels in a set. meaing 2d and 3d cockpits.
I simple used this to turn on and of a mag switch in L:ing1 and the K:MAGNETO1 is an fs Key token for magnetos.

<Gauge Name="ing1" Version="1.0">
   <Element>
      <Select>
         <Value>(L:Ing1 off, bool)</Value>
         <Case Value="0">
            <Image Name="switch_off.bmp" ImageSizes="27,39"/>
         </Case>
         <Case Value="1">
            <Image Name="switch_on.bmp" ImageSizes="27,39"/>
         </Case>
      </Select>
   </Element>
   <Mouse>
   <Area Left="0" Right="67" Width="20" Height="20">
        <Tooltip>ING 1</Tooltip>
      <Cursor Type="Hand"/>
      <Click>(L:Ing1 off, bool) ! (>L:Ing1 off, bool) (L:Ing1 off, Bool) if{ 1 (>K:MAGNETO1_BOTH) } els{ 0 (>K:MAGNETO1_LEFT) }</Click>
      </Area>
   </Mouse>
</Gauge>

no I just need the switch to switch between 2 values but without using any of the actual game variables, just the G or L variable that's all I need

The second example is showing you just that replace L with G
