Problems setting up Sceptar detectors #86

Closed smayotte closed 1 year ago

smayotte commented 1 year ago

When trying to set up the sceptar detectors the way it is shown (albeit commented) in some of the example run files with /DetSys/det/addSceptar 20 I get the following message when running the simulation:

Unknown detector number 10 for square SCEPTAR!
Unknown detector number 10 for angled SCEPTAR!

In addition, if I look at the visualization only one sceptar detector shows up. I used the same command (/DetSys/det/addSceptar 20) in a much older version of the detector simulation and there it worked very nicely and all the detectors show up in visualization. Any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong?

I just tried this by modifying the run.mac macro in example_simulations/descant_simulation_example and it worked fine for me as far as the visualization goes: Screenshot from 2023-09-12 16-38-11 I did get the same error messages, and they seem to be because the volume names start counting at 1 instead of 0. I've changed that in DetectorConstruction.cc and pushed the changes (see #87).

Yup, it works now. Thanks a bunch!
