Toggle button to show and hide hotspot-images

[panox]

The only solution which I got in the German forum was to upload two separate panoramas and to switch from one to the other. The first panorama is showing all the hotspot-images, the second has no hotspot-images.

Is there a better solution?

I wish to have two buttons at the same place, "Show hotspots" and "Hide hotspots". At first, the hotspots in the panorama are hidden. A click on "Show hotspots" sets all hotspots to "visible" and the "Show hotspots"-Button to "hidden". The "Hide hotspot"-Button appears.

The toggle-button is not the problem, but I could not create the hotspot-behaviour.

Hi panox,
You would use variables and logic blocks to do this.
Click in an empty area of the skin canvas and add a variable, example ht_show, type: True/False, Init: false.
Stack two buttons on top of each other, one to show the hotspots and one to hide them.

The Show button would be set like so.
Visible selected,
Visible logic block *ht_show = true: Visible: false
Actions: mouse click, set variable value ht_show, Set(=), true

The Hide button would be set like so.
Visible deselected
Visible logic block *ht_show = true: Visible: true
Actions: mouse click, set variable value ht_show, Set(=), false

The hotspot template needs to be set up like so:
Visible deselected
Visible logic block *ht_show = true: Visible: true

Thank you, Hopki, for your step-by-step advices!

I managed the most but got stuck with the hotspot template:

A hotspot template enables you to add a custom image to a point hotspot. You add the template to your skin and then use a custom image for the template (child of the template). Calling its ID from within the hotspot editor will allow you to assign different images to different hotspots.

Managing a hotspot created in the skin editor is working.

But how can I set the same behaviour to the image-hotspots I created in the workspace area?

This screencast might help understandíng the problem:

And here is the panorama-example:

Thank you in advance!

Hi Harald,
I glad you made your video as you confused me.
There is a difference between pinned video and images and hotspots.
I see you have got the requested feature working, on a button click you can hide hotspots.
However pinned media can not be hidden, there is a feature request in for this so on the developers radar.

Hi Harald,
To be clear you can not hide and show pinned images or video.
The next image shows what can be hidden and what elements can not, for now.

I have attached a project that uses a modified silhouette.ggsk renamed to Harald.
The skin was saved to the project folder and the unused elements removed, example video_popup_file and the ht_video file template.
The skin also has a variable, hs_hide, True/False, false.

The information button in the skin no longer opens the user data popup which has also been removed but now changes the variable value.
All the hotspot now show and hide on click.
The project also has an information popup which also explains this.

Note the node hotspot remains visible with only information and media hotspot show and hiding.

The text boxes show on mouse hover but can also be visible all the time if need be.
Re Polygon hotspots, Pano2VR can on a button can show and hide poly hotspots and beta 5.1 will also allow different colour polys.
In fact If you use the default colour in the poly hotspot viewer mode you can also change the colours of poly hotspots on a button click.
All these new things will have documentation but for now the beta documents are still being worked on.

Hopki

Thank you, Hopki, for your excellent work! Your support is great and you showed me very elegant ways for my purpose. I am just transferring my content to your example and it is working very good. Both thumbs up!

A tiny issue seems to me that the previous image which is exchanged by the following is showing up for milliseconds:

Can this be avoided?


I have managed closing the infotext-images by clicking on themselves in order to avoid long mouse-movements to the upper right cormer of the screen.



Best regards

Harald

Hello.
Please tell me, is there now an option to turn on and off the "image hotspots"?
I mean that all other hotspots should be enabled.

Hi,
In this post: viewtopic.php?p=46925#p46925
Just add a variable called ht_image_hs, this would also be a true/false variable set to true by default so it shows.
Then add a visible logic block to the image of the Image Hotspot.
Example:

*ht_image_hs, =, false: Visible False.

Hi,

I think you mean Point Hotspot with Image type. I wanted to know if there was a function to disable Hotspot with type Images like in your picture with the word "no".
