fuel bar and throttle for fighter jet.
How would you guys tackle this aside from brute key framing? I want to make a fuel gauge similar to what you’d see in a fighter jet. Basically the amount of fuel remaining in lbs and next to that a visual progress bar. So I’d want to start the fuel out at 1000lbs and have the progress bar filled up and when the number lowers I want the progress bar to decrease also.
So far I’ve just used the numbers plug and keyframed the value/offset. for the progress bar I was just going to animate a mask shape.
thanks

Easy using expressions and a slider control.
You must spend a few hours exploring expressions in the manual.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
