Copy the view angle to next node?

[deedee123]

Hi,
I think this is possibe, but not sure how. I have 2 nodes with the same room, one day and one night. There's a simple button to switch between them. Works more or less 'transparent" because the two nodes have the same angle. However if the user changed the angle of the current node, the button is still going to the "fixed" view of the second node, making the transition less 'transparent".

Is it possible to get the current view angle, set it into the target hotspot angle? So the view of the first and second node would always be the same, even if the viewer has moved it.

Best,
David

Hi David,
You can use the target, Current View.
This will grab the pan, tilt and FoV from the node you are in and apply it to the next node.

Hi,
Thanks for the message, sounds like what i need, but in the target view dropdownbox i only see
Enter Target
Forward
Backward
Or do i need to look somewhere else?

Hi David,
Pano2VR 5, 6 and 7 have this target in the Open Next Panorama action, Current View.
Can you post your skin?

Aaahhh ok,
First of all i was checking the setting in the program, not the skin, i thought it was done there. But in my skin i had hotspot action as "go to URL" and $hu / $ht...

Changed it (and added a hotspot variable to indicate if it's a normal or "same view" hotspot) and it now works perfectly. A solution for anything with pano2vr!!

thanks!

David
