Hello!

Maybe somebody can help me with this problem (how to do it).

Here is an example:
- panorama contain hotspots as Tour Node and in Skin Editor is only one Hotspot for all Panoramas (with SVG animation) which takes information title about the actual Panorama hotspot from hotspot title – (use in a text box) by $(hs) + Preview NodeImage by {node1}, {node2}, etc.
That's cool because I have no mess in Skin Editor (Only one hotspot)
- now I want to add in panorama new type of hotspot: info
- one Panorama will have a dozen of those info hotspots
- when I click on this info in live pano I want to load Image (PNG, maybe PDF one page) by slide image (it doesn't matter, basic animation entrance)
- the problem is I do not want to produce several dozen info hotspots in the Skin Editor (one for each image)
- I know I have to create a Container for those Images - that's clear, for organization purposes) but I do not want to mess with a dozen info spots.

Is the way to take information from Info Spot like Title, and Description and use it in Skin to load Image from Action: click mouse? So I can keep one HotSpot in Skin Editor (like Panorama Tour)

Hi Janusz,

Short Answer = yes

Longer Answer =

1. In the skin add a Draw hotspot template ( Advanced menu bar)

Note: this allows you to add multiple types of properties to the Point Hotspot to accommodate different media types such as info, video, pdf etc. Alternatively you can start with a predefined Point Hotspot such as Info and then add additional properties using Custom Properties.

2. If you are adding a Draw hotspot template, add in the visual elements used to display the hotspot ie icon etc.
3. Add in the skin elements required to show the range of content. ie Video = Draw video, Image = Draw external image (Also from the Top Menu bar)
4. Use Create Custom Properties to manage the hotspot content. For example you might have a custom property where you define the type of content ie. video, pdf, image etc. Here's an example of a custom property in which I can define the video type as file, Vimeo, Youtube or 360 Video. In the skin the Hotspot Template contains Draw Video elements for each type of media.

5. In the skin add Variables and Actions that use the Properties to show/hide the content based on the entries.

So basically you are combining a number of builtin hotspot template attributes into one new hotspot template.

You can find more information on Custom Properties here: https://ggnome.com/doc/pano2vr/getting- ... s/userdata and on YouTube at https://youtu.be/ElPYmmlcUh8?si=V-ZwkhlkrF5OgBo9

To use custom properties you will need V7. If you can V7 is a great update from V6
