Hi there,

the example UI in the Beta7 features an "info" button (see attached image) that fades in an info pop-up box (image 2).
My problem is that some of our customers don't notice that button. So, I want to set a node, at a place that is related to the info, where customers can call the pop-up.

Is that possible? I know I can call PDF documents, but it's really just small info blobs and a PDF would be a little overpowered for 1 or 2 sentences.

That would be awesome feature, set custom id for node and start trigger for that node. Maybe this could work?
Set trigger on the icon button on node change or something. That would sadly open every info on every nodes if more info.. Not ideal.

If you afraid people wont see the info buttton, you can put a info node infront of the view set pos, and force curiosity to press the info in tour for the user. I always get curios when i see a info button straight infront of me.

Sounds good, but can you elaborate a little on how to achieve this? I'm still a noob with Pano2VR.

Hi,
Using the feather_orb skin if you first save a copy of it to your projects folder then you can modify it to do as you wnat.
Use these settings:

First, open the skin and in the Tree select the ht_info_container (1).
Then in the properties of the container, set the Alpha to 0 then select the Alpha Logic Block (2).
Finally, add the trigger, this will be found under the Hotspots category in the list.
Note, that the alpha logic block shows the container will become visible if the point hotspot is "more than" 35 degrees from the left and the top. But this also will hide if "less than" 35 degrees from the bottom and from the right.

If you wanted just the pan angle to affect the alpha then use Hotspot Player X, you would need to set up:

Hotspot Player X, > 35 AND
Hotspot Player X < 35
