If anybody knows how to add custom Knob animations please let me know. I have custom animated knobs made with knobman but can’t figure out how to get it working it in Flowstone.

I was also having trouble resizing knobs.

Spogg posted a really good knob here:

I never used it completely as it was... But it seems to be resizable as it is.
Just load your knobman animation enter the correct width and cells (frames) of the animation in the modules properties... and resize the module accordingly.

this is exactally what i needed thanks for linking this

i want to make knobs that are custom sizes and not locked to Square. Currently dont have a method but im trying to figure it out.

I'm a newbie and not that versed in Flowstone but I can always attempt to clarify what you are asking for... maybe someone else can help you then...

Do you mean a knob size that is not locked to the size of Flowstone's grid-system?...

If so you will probably have to dive into and customize parameters of that knob and maybe alter some of it's schematics. There is no limitation in that regard, any graphics can be set to pixels precision if needed.

Same probably applies if you want a non uniform (ellipse) shape for a knob...

But of you are looking for a way to create a non square/quadratic clickable area that a knob uses to detect mouse actions (clicks and dragging). I personally don't really know if that can be done, atleast not without splitting into separate clickable quadratic areas. I haven't tested if the area clip prim can be used for mouse areas... or if Ruby can be utilized for detecting mouse actions in a non quadratic areas.

I have knobs that are 50x20 pixels instead of most knobs that are 50x50 or just locked into squares
I attached an example knob i made.
When i put this knob into the spogg one it just doesnt work properly. And i dont want it to be square because it will mess up the gui.

Here you go. Info in the schematic.

Spogg i am So thankful !!!! All my knobs with weird dimensions are working perfectly now !!!
