I tried to apply the concept that has been achieved in this Topic a vector knob, but he has a circular sensitive area, creating a circle that indicates when the area is active, without using the primitive "mouse over". 🙂

cool, where do you have the mouse over primitive in your knob?

Go into Knob -> Interaction -> Knob -> Moving Part -> Knob Control the modify is there.

Pretty smart - what a little Pythagoras can do for SMers! This could work for any other kind of knob, right?

Yes, with proper adaptation.

Very nice DWB! Thanks for sharing this! now do a triangle area 😀

I will study this since i looked into doing areas with Pythagoras but couldn't make head nor tail of the maths due to my number blindness thing, Basic arithmetic is all i can comprehend unless i'm shown it in a physical or working form, like in an osm as opposed to trying to read about it!

Best Regards

Nice - turning the area for the mouse on/off so that the mouse cursor changes correctly is lovely and neat.

damn i suck. I dont understand how this works haha. I dont see the MOver primitive which supposed to activate when the mouse is over? For example how could I apply this to the readout knob so that it only displays the values when the mouse is over?

This is just one example of how you might realize, of course it can be optimized. This is how it all works, without the primitive "Mouse Over"
