A question about HUDs and vehicles

Since I haven't heard of anyone doing it here yet I thought I would ask if it is possible in Torque.
Is it possible to have working Gauges as in the Speedometer code built into a mesh like a vehicle's dashboard?

Nope Big Papa has it exactly what I wanted. Any ideas, or is it not possible?

There are a few people out there who have gotten a canvas to render to a GUI. Doing some specialized effect like that and tying into the 3space renderer won't be too hard. Or you can have a node on the mesh or an animation that you play in a controlled way, the latter being how the look animations are implemented. The last approach is easiest and most flexible.

Of course it's possible. :)There are a few people out there who have gotten a canvas to render to a GUI. Doing some specialized effect like that and tying into the 3space renderer won't be too hard.
