Hi everyone,

I have created some basic effects in SM and wanted to be able to get a nice looking VST, allowing the user to be able to click on the tab with the name of the effect and then the controls for that effect coming up, but at the moment the information saying where the Mouse Area is for each link is completely out of place.

i think because i have reshaped the tabs themselves and changed their positions that some of the "hotspots" for clicking on them seem in the wrong places. which part of the module is effecting this so that i can rectify it? thanks.

i have searched around and cant seem to work or find out which part effects this. Thanks for any help!

Your mouse area is still devided in width as it was in the example. But you stacked your tabs vertical. So you have to devide the hight by the amount of areas you want do cover.

Thanks for the reply. I thought this was the case but once again, i am unsure as to which exact component is effecting this. Do i need to change something In the F2A that is connected to the MArea or in the MGUI ?

What exactly does the last float and int do before the output? Thanks again.

thank you so much! it has fixed it. The only problem left now is that one of the tabs isn't allowing some of the labels to show infront of it, and there is no bring to front option for the labels. As you can see in the screen shot, the "low pass filter" label shows fine over that tab but i need the "flanger" label to be there, which will not show infront. Any ideas?

It's an ordering problem, just delete the yellow V-Connection from MGui to the label, an draw it again. Then Label is the top most layer.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.
