Hi,

I've implemented a compas on my VT ; the code is inspired from the "compass" included in the KRPano examples.

I use the "onviewchange" event to update the compass heading,

It works fine in most cases, except during "moveto" and "movetohotspot" actions ;

I've tried setting "nonblocking" to true in the moveto actions, but it didn't change anything...

Any suggestions ?

Thanks for your help

Yes, I know that, so I've tried using the lookto non blocking funtion, but it does'nt seem to change anything...

oops, in my initial post I mentionned "moveto" and "movetohotspot" actions. Its a misprint , I meant "lookto" and "looktohotspot" instead ; and the only one of these with a non blocking parameter is "lookto".

But anyway, the problem is still there, and I have no explanation yet...

I think I'm slowly going somewhere :

is blocking so that view.hlookat is not updated until lookto is done

is nonblocking : view.hlookat is updated while lookto is running.

However, in this case, since it is nonblocking, nextaction() is executed while the lookto is running, so that it's a mess. I've tried :

to wait for the end of the lookto action but it doesn't work.

right now the only solution I have is :

but that's really not satisfying, because I don't know what the delay must be : it depends on how long the lookto action could last, and that is unknown.

What I nead is some way to wait until the lookto action is ended.

Right now I've no idea how to do this

I've found the answer ; its so simple I feel stupid about it :

Of course, the "donecall" of the nonblocking lookto is called when the action is .... done !

So that the answer is


and this works perfectly : nextaction() is run only when lookto is finished, and view.hlookat is updated since lookto is now nonblocking.

Now I whish there was a nonblocking looktohotspot ; well I'll have to rewrite the code anyway, so...

Thanks for your stimulating help, Zephyr
