Is it possible to use the dial object to indicate selecting?

I'd like to use it in my sequencer to show the sequence position.

For example, if I select (from a 16 step sequence) steps 5-8, can it show only these, like a slice of a cake?

Maybe using two dials, like so (but its not ideal):

Nokilas, actually it is kinda good enough for me, thanks!!!

It is just the thin outline from the "covered" part that shows that gets me!

Anyway, glad it helps!

I'm working on a circular sequencer, ad the first step is i the top middle...so I have to offset this somehow with 8 steps :S

Yeah it is OK :D

You could, by offsetting the selection values, and having the dial use 360 degrees, but you the dial's pie doesn't wrap. Meaning, for example you have 16 steps, so offsetting the values sent to the dials by 8 would show it starting from the top, but when the bigger value is >16 the pie will stop there.

So, better do with JSUI!


Well, just found out you can use the JS painter to rotate the objects original paint function!!! (A bit excited!)

Set the dials to use 360 degrees, and add this js file as their JS painter file.

Nikolas, sorry, I'm not really familiar with this.

Do you mean something like this? 

Oh, forget it, figured out :D
AMAZING!!!


I understand you figured it out, but just if anyone else is wandering - in the object's inspector, there is a "JS painter file" attribute that lets you select a JS file. There you should set it to the "rotateUI180.js" (or some other js painter file you want).

Dial for indicating selection?
