Simple DigitalGauge example.

Text-based gauge for displaying numerical or textual values on vehicle dashboards or GUI.

Requirements

  • Readout: Child GameObject named "Readout" with Text component (required)
  • Line: Child GameObject named "Line" with Image component (optional, only needed for progress bar)

Gauge Type

  • Numerical: Displays numerical values with formatting and smoothing. Use for speed, RPM, temperature.
  • Textual: Displays string values directly. Use for gear indicators (R, N, 1, 2, 3) or other text displays.

Numerical Properties

  • Numerical Value: The value to display.
  • Format: C# numeric format string. Examples:
    • 0 = no decimals
    • 0.0 = one decimal
    • 0.00 = two decimals (default)
    • 000 = zero-padded to 3 digits
  • Numerical Smoothing: Smoothing factor (0-1). Higher values create smoother transitions. Recommended: 0.3-0.7 for speed/RPM displays.
  • Show Progress Bar: Enables horizontal fill bar based on value percentage.
  • Max Value: Maximum value for progress bar percentage calculation (e.g., 8000 for RPM gauge).

Textual Properties

  • String Value: Text to display without formatting.

Common Properties

  • Unit: Unit text appended after the value (e.g., "km/h", "RPM", "°C"). Space is automatically added between value and unit.
