I have around 45 node hotspots on a map that I would like to be able to toggle on/off when the user clicks a menu selection, for example to show all dining rooms, or all bedrooms etc. I had an idea to group the nodes (I have used multiple nodes with different names as they all have different icon styles) in containers, then just toggle the visibility of certain containers to show/hide the hotspots. However when I do this, it has no effect on the hotspots on the map. Have I got the wrong idea about containers, or am i missing a step?
The alternative is to just list down all the different IDs for the hotspots and either show/hide the visibility but I was hoping for a quicker solution.
Help!
Show/hide certain hotspot groupings with containers?
Hi,
In the User Data for each node hotspot on the map add a descriptive word.
1. In the dining room nodes add the word 'diningroom' in the Description field
2. In the bedroom nodes add the word 'bedroom' in the Description field
3. Create a variable ie 'vis_pin' > text (leave entry blank)
4. In the Map Pin under Properties > Appearance > Alpha add a couple of trigger fields
a. user data description: $(ud) = diningroom | And
b. *vis_pin = diningroom | Or
c. user data description: $(ud) = bedroom | And
d. *vis_pin = bedroom
e. Alpha =0.000
5. Create 3 text buttons named "Hide Dining Room", "Hide Bedroom" and "Reset"
6. Add actions to each button Mouse Click > Set Variable Value > vis_pin > Set(=) > diningroom, Mouse Click > Set Variable Value > vis_pin > Set(=) > bedroom, Mouse Click > Set Variable Value > vis_pin > Set(=) > ,
Now when the map is open clicking on the Hide Dining Room button will hide all of the node buttons whose nodes have the word 'diningroom' in the User Data description. The Hide Bedroom will hide the bedroom nodes and the Dining room nodes will reappear. Rest sets it all back to normal.
cheers,
Tony
