Gas Meter

Overview

The Analog Gas Meter uses a rotating needle object named x_gm to visually represent the current fuel level on the dashboard. The needle rotates smoothly based on the fuel percentage, simulating a real-world analog fuel gauge.

Setup

1. Needle Node Dummy (x_gm):

   • Place x_gm at the pivot point of the analog fuel gauge where the needle should rotate.
   • Ensure the pivot/origin is properly aligned so that rotation visually sweeps from Empty to Full.

2. Texture and Alignment:

   • The x_gm texture should resemble a fuel gauge needle.
   • Design the gauge background with static markers for E (empty), 1/2, and F (full).
