I,ve created a tour using the tour.xml template with the tourskin.xml.
Goal: Change the view left or right in one scene, and have that view in the next or prev scene.

All scenes in the tour.xml have the following view tag and attribute:


PROBLEM: When viewing the tour, I click on the left or right button to change the view of the first scene. I then click on the next scene button, but when the next scene loads it is back to the original view even though the skin_settings.loadscene_flags is set to 'MERGE'.


I tried adding the KEEPVIEW flag and the KEEPALL flag:

	Source code
1	skin_settings.loadscene_flags="MERGE|KEEPALL"

but these do not seem to work either.

Looking at the markup for the buttons for viewing left or right, I see the onClick attribute uses the set(hlookat_moveforce, number) to change the view of the scene.

Question 1: Does set(hlookat_moveforce, number) change the values of view.hlookat for the current scene?

I also see that the values of 'skin_settings.loadscene_flags' are used for the flags parameter of the loadscene function in the skin_nextscene action; which is set to 'MERGE'.

	Source code
1	loadscene(get(scene[get(newsceneindex)].name),null,get(skin_settings.loadscene_flags),get(skin_settings.loadscene_blend));

Question 2: Is my understanding correct that MERGE will keep the current view settings when loading the next/prev scene or do I also need to use KEEPALL or KEEPVIEW in addition to, or instead of MERGE?

Main Question: How do I change the view left/right in one scene and then when I move to the next/prev scene keep that view?

Thank in advance

Hi Alexey,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes. I have tried all of the following:

MERGE|KEEPALL
MERGE|KEEPVIEW
KEEPALL
KEEPVIEW

I have also tried passing " 'view.vlookat=',get(view.vlookat) & 'view.hlookat=',get(view.hlookat) " as the vars parameter

RESOLVED

FIgured it out!

I was adjusting the value of the skin_settings.loadscene_flags in the tourskin.xml file and needed to adjust it in the tour.xml file.

Thanks again Alexey
