Animated tour how to stop the loop

[nigbo]

I created an animated tour. It works great with 24 photos.
At the end, it loops to the first one and continues foerever.
How can I stop the tour after the end?

Hi, Herwig.

Do you have "loop" selected? If so you can turn it off in the Animation menu. Animation > Loop > Off.

I did turn it off! It still goes on after the last slide to the first node.

Hi,
I assume you are referring to an Animation/Auto tour.
If so then you need to add a variable track, then at the end have it set so it changes the variable using a Variable Changed Action to stop Auto Rotate.
Have a look at this page: https://ggnome.com/doc/animation-change-variable/
I do exactly this at the end to stop the animation looping.

Hi Martin,

thanks for the link and hint. I understood the concept.

So in my case: what kind of variable should I create? A number? or text?
It sounds easy to watch, not so easy to replicate.
Could I use the node21 (the last node and last clip) and insert a variable var_stop (number), put it on 1 in the beginning and change it to 0 at the end: triggering the stop of AutoRotate?
Or just use two text fields? On/Off as Text


Thanks
Herwig

Hi Herwig,
Yes, go to the last nodes animation and give it a True/False variable track, call it, say, var_stop.
So at the start of the track, it's false, then add a new variable true keyframe just before the end.

Then in the skin add the variable to the skin, then add the action to any element, Variable Changed, var_stop, Auto Rotate, Stop.

Hi Martin,

I tried to follow your instructions and got to the point, that I think it is all according to your recommendations.

Evidently something is missing: it does not stop. See the enclosed screenshot.

What do I have to add?

Thanks

I still do not get it done to stop the animated tour. (i tried it to follow Martins advice, not really succesful)
Thus, as Karyn mentioned, it would be nice to have it functioned with the “Loop - off” setting. Just make it working for animations and animated tours.
But still looking for a solution “by coding”.

This is the tour: lesser-winterpromenade.3a2.de
Sound starts at the second node.
I do not manage to turn the sound off on iPad or iPhone. It only starts, when I touch the screen during that node.

HI Herwig,
I don't understand why you can not get this working.
Can you make a three node tour with animation and send it to me to support?
I will then add the variable track and then send it back so you can see it working.
