Overview

The Rotary Switch is a component that simulates a physical control switch.

The Rotary Switch only works in runtime.

Where to find

The Rotary switch can be found under Standard Components > Rotary Switch > Add Physical component.

This will add the Rotary Switch component to the currently selected object or create a new empty GameObject with the component attached if no objects are selected. If there is no Wheel Joint present on the object it will also be added.

The Rotary Switch must be placed as a child of a Kinematic Controller in the hierarchy.

Position	The Position of the Wheel Joint for the Switch State to activate.
Upper Weight	Determines in combination with the nexst state’s Lower Weight where the transition between the two states occurs.
On Selected()	Executes all actions in this box when the switch state is selected.
Runtime Only	This setting must be set to Runtime Only.
Object	The object which you wish to change when this switch state is activated.
On Unselected()	Executes all actions in this box when the switch state is unselected.
Save current position as state	Creates a new switch state based on the rotation of the Wheel Joint.

Feature layout - Control Panel

Title	The Title of the Control Panel. Click to ping the target component in the hierarchy. Double click to edit.

Output Signal	Shows what color the ColorSensor currently detects. If no color is detected, it will return its Void Color.
Enable/Disable	Enables/Disables the Color Sensor.
Target Component
Target Gameobject	The gameobject which has a standardcomponent you want the Control Panel for.
Target Component	The Component which for which a Control Panel is generated.

How to use

Create a new switch state and define its values.

Add an action to a switch state.

Add another switch state so it is possible to change between switch states. (This switch state does not need to have action added to it.)

Test if the actions are executed in runtime.
