I'm hoping this is something simple I'm missing. I have a custom hotspot node which allows users to open other nodes. At certain times a second pano is opened in a different area of the page and a variable is set (hide_skin) to make the skin components disappear. However, for some reason, in this second pano the hotspot nodes are displaying with a red dot (sort of looks like a target) which isn't even what our custom image looks like. Can anyone tell me what this red dot is and why it's appearing? I want the visual red dot to go away and disable the node as well.

Hi,

If you see a round object with a red border and a red circle in the centre, you see a Node Hotspot without a skin element assigned to it via the Skin-ID in the Properties - Point Hotspot.

The image below is a Node Hotspot without a skin element assigned to it.

You say you are using a variable to hide the skin, what actions are you using to hide the skin and it's elements?

Yes, that is the icon that's appearing. I wonder if the skin is not applied properly for some reason on these and that's why it's doing this regardless of the logic I put in the skin. Would that cause something like this to happen where it works in one pano on the page but not the other? I will check how it's implemented and see if that's maybe why.

To update anyone else having this issue, I was able to resolve it by ensuring the skin was attached to the pano. This was happening because no skin was added to these panos. Now that I added the skin pano2vrSkin() function it seems to be working great. Thank you for your assistance Tony!
