Well, for the German side of things, yes. In that sense I'm referring to the one on the periscope that you drag the ring around in order to get an answer.
My question would also apply to the "Angriffshreib" (sp?) which is the German "wiz-wheel" device as well.
In the omnimeter case, the graphics were "parented" to the sliders already used on the message toolbox. That made them "slide" as opposed to "rotate" onscreen, which is what I'm trying to determine. Is is possible to do the "linear" as opposed to "rotational" aspect?
The omnimeter works "as-is" very well. Unfortunately, when I tried to "splice" the USN505 slideruler graphics to it things didn't work out too well. The left/right movement is somewhat limited, so you can't really use the slideruler like you can use the omnimeter.
That's why I'm trying to see if there is a way to "repurpose" some of the other stuff in-game to make a "linear" as opposed to a "circular" slide ruler.
If there was a guide on the different meanings of materials or things (for example, the difference between Mat=0x0, Mat=0x1, Mat=0x9, Mat=-0x29, etc.) to see what could possibly be chosen to get something you can drag.
Or is that just something we don't have any control over?
