I have my “base car engine” event instrument referenced in my “Engine total” event.

Both the RPM and LOAD parameters were showing up in both events.

RPM was global, and Load was local.

Then I found out I needed to make the RPM local too, but now it’s not showing up in the “Engine Total” event.

Which is strange because LOAD is local and showing up.

How do I fix this?

Thank you!

Did you check this box in your parameter settings? (you probably should)
