Hotspot skin setting problems.

[DIA Interactive]

Hi all,

I have two problems with hotspots!

1. I have a button with "Hide/Show" function for hotspots. When I click hide i can still click on invisible hotspot. The same problem I found on official demo called "Layer Marney Tower" here: https://ggnome.com/samples/pano2vr_5/tower/
(to recreate, 1. disable hotspots, 2. move a view a little bit, 3. try to click on invisible but for some reason still active hotspot).

2. Second problem is related to Autorotate function. When Autorotate is on and I press on hotspot, I see some short movement of camera after changing the view.

For second problem with autorotation, just try to deselect "Start after fully loaded".
I remember some cases, where I had almost the same effect and that deactivation did help.

Well, just had a closer view at problem 1:
I can reproduce the fault and it seems to be a bug?

But there is a simple solution:
Don´t setup the alpha, but instead use your variable (ht_show) to affect the visibility.

See screenshot.

My true/false variable is named "vis_hotspots"

Hi soulbrother,
You say bug, can you go into a bit more detail?
Cheers,

Ahh ok got it
For now, use the visible logic block.
You can use the Alpha logic block on the Hotspot Image or a container, it's the template that has the issue.

Thank you soulbrother! It works, but now I don't have autorotation on startup. I want to have autorotation active when you see splash screen...

No, you don´t need to deactivate the Autorotation.
Automatic start of rotation can be set as usual, for example with a delay of 3 seconds.

Just the "Start after fully loaded" should be deselected.

I only deselected "Start after fully loaded" and it resolved this issue. I didn't deactivated it. I just need to have autorotation immediately after startup with 0 delay. And when click on the splash screen autorotation stops and from that moment x sec delay in rule.

Problem 1 unfortunately I cant resolve even when I use only visibility with true/false variable. When I click on hide/show button the hotspots disappears, but it appears immediately when I click somewhere on the screen even if variable says: hotspots off. Don't know how to resolve it...

[soulbrother]

If any kind of "klick on opening" is an option, you could do like this:

Have a welcome-screen (or any other "startup" button, that can execute the actions), see screenshot.

Problem with Hotspots visibility is still unresolved. Change Visible in Logic Board with Variables not working. I can still click on invisible hotstop even when it is invisible. Please help!

Hi DIA Interactive,
Did you see my post above about not using the Alpha Logic Block with the Hotspot Template directly?
If you want to use Alpha then set the hotspot images Alpha Logic Block or wrap a container around all the child elements of the Hotspot Template and set the Alpha Logic Block to that.
