Re: how do i make a dashboard?
I've see and make few types:
1) Completely mechanical (speed is measured by air friction)
2) Probe + mechanical instruments: arrows and scripted springs/motors
3) Probe + textured arrow with scripted textureMatrix which it rotating image of arrow
4) Probe + force visualization arrow with scripted attraction force
You can search through algobox for "dashboard"

Re: how do i make a dashboard?
i know i could get one off phunbox but i would like to make my own (not sure if thats what you mean though)
and i cant script (i dont know why it just doesnt seem to work for me)
so i would like to know how to make a mechanical one

Re: how do i make a dashboard?
Create your dashboard how ever you like, make it's density precisely 0.01 (The density of air, this will make it seem weightless) Change airfrictionmult to 0 and inertiamultiplier to +inf. At this stage it should not be affected by anything other then contacting another object, so make sure it's collision level will not touch anything (Even the ground). Next attach it to you car/plane/boat with a single rod putting hinges on both ends, you can make this rod have 0.1 density and 0 airfrictionmult. From there you can add anything you want onto your dashboard using this process.

Re: how do i make a dashboard?
Given you don'y know much thyme your are going to have to use a third party one.
For example
http://www.algodoo.com/algobox/details.php?id=39493
If you want to do something basic you can get Kilinich's kl-probe (It's awesome ) and set a display linked to k1speed or if you have a car linked to k1vel(0) (Horizontal speed only) as a simple 2 minute example
Otherwise if you want to get craft yo can make something that measures airfriction if you tune it right they turn out pretty awesome. Plus everyone loves a phundamentalist.

do you have any phun speedometers? its not hard to be a phundamentalist if i only have phun

http://www.algodoo.com/algobox/details.php?id=9372, you might need to retune it as is was made for phun 4.
Although you can use this (You must give credit to the author in your scene) it would be better if you used it as an example and made your own

No inertiamultiplier in Phun. He will have to find some other way to keep it still. That's what restricted me in Phun, making a dashboard is extremely difficult with control over inertia.

Re: how do i make a dashboard?
Dashboards were made in phun. If you do the rest like i said it will have no interaction with the anything else except via the rod. position the rod on the center of gravity and you should be golden.
