Animation Trigger problems
Posted: Tue May 19, 2020 1:32 am
I've been asked by a client to create an animated sequence, triggered by a mouse click.
I thought this would be pretty straightforward.. but I have been having all sorts of problems...
I have created a sequence OK... and thought I'd be able to trigger this with a simple action :
Mouse Click >> Auto Rotate >> Start Animation >> My Sequence
However...apparently because animations are associated with auto-rotate functionality... this action starts auto-rotate for the CURRENT node (not the animation I want).
If I use the following actions :
Mouse Click >> Open next Pamorama >> NodeName
Mouse Click >> Auto Rotate >> Start Animation >> My Sequence
It goes to the node at the start of the animation, and starts the animation but stops it 1/2 second or so into the animation.
I have tried various other actions and combinations using variables and different triggers and the best I have come up with so far is :
Mouse Click >> Open next Pamorama >> NodeName
Mouse Leave >> Auto Rotate >> Start Animation >> My Sequence
Which sort of works... but isn't very user friendly
I presume I am just misunderstanding how animations work... but any suggestions on a simple way to trigger a specific animation sequence from a mouse click?
