Naming a Level Display Item (Legacy 3DS MAX)

The Level Display is an analog linear indicator like a thermometer.

• In this type of gauge, the quadrant face of the gauge must be multi-material with a dummy texture called leveldisplay_default.tga.

• The engine generates the dummy texture at runtime.

• The dummy texture displays the text, gauge ticks, and animates the bar.

• Assign the texture leveldisplay_default.tga to the polygon used as level indicator.
