Linking multiple hotspots together

NovaNationGreg · October 3, 2010 at 1:21 AM

Is there a way to "link" hotspots together so that when you hover over one, the other lights up as well? What I have is a pano of the inside of a church, and along the walls are statues, but there are railings partially covering them. I can make each statue a hotspot, but I'd like not to include the railings in it.

It seems like masking hides an entire hotspot when you hover over the mask - that's not what I want. I want to be able to hover over the statues and have the only the statues light up, not the railings. I can use several hotspots for each statue, but haven't found a way to make all of them glow when you mouse over just one of them.

I've looked at the parent/child and masking examples, but no luck, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you do it manually? Something like:

Code

<hotspot name="h0-part0" onover="h0visible();" onout="h0invisible();" visible="false" (...) />
<hotspot name="h0-part1" onover="h0visible();" onout="h0invisible();" visible="false" (...) />
(...)


<action name="h0visible">
  set(hotspot[h0-part0].visible,true);
  set(hotspot[h0-part1].visible,true);
  (...)
</action>


<action name="h0invisible">
  set(hotspot[h0-part0].visible,false);
  set(hotspot[h0-part1].visible,false);
  (...)
 </action>

Hi Protected,

Thanks for your reply, but the visible/invisible property just controls whether or not a hotspot can be triggered (glow) when I moused over, so I always want all my hotspots' visibility set to true. In other words, if I mouse over hs1, hs2 will light up. You can't do that by saying, when you mouse over hs1, set hs2 to visible.

I'm looking for something like "showhotspot[hs1]" I can call to make a hotspot light up. It seems like krpano does this automatically onhover. Does such an statement exist?

Thanks again.

The point of my example was not whatever property is in use, you can replace visible with any property. I don't use polygonal hotspots so I don't know what you mean by "light up".

Hi Greg,

I have spend many hours in trying to find a solution ... After I had reached one , I finally discovered that there is already a native function to do that: hotspot[...].hovering

Code

<hotspot name="hs1"
	     	....
	     	onover="set(hotspot[hs2].hovering,true);"
	     	onout="set(hotspot[hs2].hovering,false);"
		>
		<point ath="..." atv="..." />
	</hotspot>
	
	<hotspot name="hs2"
	     	....
	     	onover="set(hotspot[hs1].hovering,true);"
	     	onout="set(hotspot[hs1].hovering,false);"
		>
		<point ath="..." atv="..." />
	</hotspot>

Aha. I'll keep that in mind for the future :) Damn, michel, you know everything about krpano. Sometimes I wonder if you're Klaus in disguise!
