Gauge indicator target mark

Hi All,

 

Is it possible to add a "target" position to a guage indicator? For example, I am using a gauge indicator to indicate temperature from 0-100C. The process target is some temperature X (variable), I would like to programmably add a small mark or "tick" at the target temperature to indicate that it is the target temperature. See the attached picture for a quick example of what I am trying to do.

 

Thanks!

You could add a second needle to the gauge and then modify the needle's appearance to make it look lime your tick mark.

Thanks for the replies.

I was aware of being able to make my own indicators, but I was trying to see if there was a property node that I was missing.

Yes, that would do it, but by editing the control you could make the other needle distinct from the original one.
