[P2VR6] Fov mode only active in first tour pano

[dennisvanduijn]

Hi all,

I recently discovered the Fov mode setting in Advanced > Display settings. My customer want to have the tour shown on mobiles in portrait position, and the Fov mode settings seems the only way to go to have a decent view. Once set, it does perfectly do what we want, but as soon as I go through the tour, the 360's get zoomed in as if the Fov mode setting is forgotten. Is there an extra setting to keep it through the tour? Is it overruled by the viewing parameters? Something else?

Kind regards,

Dennis van Duijn

Hi Dennis,
You can do this with a variable.
Example, add a variable to the skin, say Name: FoV, Type: Number. Leave it blank.

Now add a container to the skin with the action:
Config Loaded, Set Variable Value, FoV, Set(=), 0.
Now select Expert Mode and change the value to $(af)

What will happen is when the pano opens and the FoV changes to say 86.1 this will be written to the FoV variable in the skin.

What you need to do now is modify the point hotspot action, again select Expert Mode.
Mouse Click, Open Next Panorama, $(hu), $(*FoV)

So on mouse click it will change the node to what is in the Hotspot URL, using the placeholder $(hu) and will use the FoV that is logged in the variable using place holder $(*FoV) so will now be 86.1.
This will be used for all hotspots in the tour.

Regards,
Hopki

Hi Hopki,

Thank you, you answer led to the solution of my problem. The only difference is that I didn't add $(*FoV) to the point hotspot action, but to the target of the point hotspot properties instead. Reason is I wanted to keep the pan and tilt presets and they got lost once I put $(*FoV) in the phs action.

Regards,

Dennis
