is there a method of rigging one parameter dial to another so the second dial is not editable unless the first dial has a value of 1? I'm very limited in knowledge of scripting , this may be already available in PP2012 and I'm just overlooking it... if not then it would be a very useful thing to have , the possibilities would be endless for such a command when using master parameters,

Thanks for your time...

It can be done by editing the file using ERC and / or using Poser's dependend parameters.

You may want to have a look at examples shown in Poser's manual.
They do explain it way better than I could :)

I dont know a way of doing what you asked with dependant parameters or erc. The slave parameter can be changed manually if it is left visible. 

You'd probably have to use a called python script to get an If-Then response.  Those have always been available but VERY rarely used. 

Even with that, I'm not sure you could do what you want.  A called python can do a bunch of stuff at the moment when the prop or figure is located, but I don't know if you can make it hang around waiting for the user to move things.  (That would require using event callbacks, which are nasty!)  And after that, you'll have another problem making the callback go away when the figure is deleted.

For an example of doing stuff at load time, look at the "Gas-Harp" and "Sink-Pump" figures in my 1910 Kitchen.  Those would give you examples to build on.

When the master dial is 0, the slave dial final value will be 0 no matter what.
If the limits and trackingScale are set right, the master would act like a switch on the slave.

sorry for the delay getting back, i have contractors here i had get permits ... lota hassles.... anywho.... im not wanting to slave one peram dial to another , a rather simple process in PP2012, im trying to build branches for animation and lock out params that arent compatable with eachother, didnt mean to make a big fuss about this but, being new to pp2012, and the documentation doesnt cover everything i was wondering if this were a hidden feature i just didnt know of, i guess it isnt... i do apreciate your taking time to look at and consider this... your openion is important to me and i take your advice seriously, you guys are awesome in your collective knowledge...again

thank you

:O)
