Using Variables to Trigger Filtered Actions
In this example, 2 buttons will change a variable’s value. Then, based on the
variable’s current value, a third button will open the selected panorama. In
Hopki’s example above, he is using a TV channel changer to change nodes. There
are buttons for tuning up and down and a button to change to selected node.
Add three text boxes (or rectangles) to represent buttons. One will move up
the channel numbers (1, 2, 3) and a second button will move the channels
down (3, 2, 1). These two buttons will flip through a gallery of thumbnail
images. The third button will open the selected panorama.
Add an action to the buttons that will change the variable’s value. In
Hopki’s example, these are the channel up and down buttons.
Source = Mouse Click
Action = Set Variable Value
Variable Name = var1 (or whatever you named your variable)
Operation = Add(+)
Value = 1 (for the up)
Value = 2 (for the down)
Add a second action to the buttons to keep the variable moving in a loop. So
that the up button counts, 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, etc. and the down button counts
2, 1, 0, 2, 1, 0, etc.
Source = Mouse Click
Action = Set Variable Value
Variable Name = var1
Operation = Mod(%)
Value = 3 (for both up and down)
Add actions to the third textbox (button) that will select the node. Add an
action for each node in the tour.
Mouse Click > Open Next Panorama > node01
Mouse Click > Open Next Panorama > node02
Mouse Click > Open Next Panorama > node03
For each action, add a filter so that the action is only executed when the
variable’s value is changed to a specified value. For example, the first
action’s filter would be:
Trigger = var1; Comparison = =; Value = 0 This means that node 1
would only be opened if the variable’s value is 0. Add filters to the other
actions, but change the variable value.
To change the text in the third textbox, to show which node is selected,
expand the Text pane.
Add a
logic block
with the following expressions:
Logic Block to change text.
Add an
External Image
to the skin. This will hold the thumbnail image gallery.
Open the External Image pane and add a logic block. This will change the
image in depending on the variable’s value.
Logic Block to change the external image. ✭ You can
use the
Assets feature in
the web output to have Pano2VR consolidate the images in to the output
folder. Your file path in the conditions would be assets/img.jpg or
assets/myfolder/img.jpg, depdending on if you add a folder or a file to
the assets.
Check your positioning and anchoring of the elements with the help of Live
Preview.
