hotspot as a parent for a layer doesn't work?

Hi, i would like to use skin_bottonglow function over my layer and over my hotspot so i have change the default skin_bottonglow function because in the log i have this error: "no parent 'btn-gallery-bagni2' found" and the glow effect doesn't appear over the hotspot.
This is my code (my changes in red):



if(%1 != null,
set(strength,0.7);
if(%2 != null, set(strength,%2));
if (hotspot[1%].name === %1,
set(layer[skin_buttonglow].parent, hotspot[1%]);,
set(layer[skin_buttonglow].parent, %1);
);
set(layer[skin_buttonglow].visible, true);
tween(layer[skin_buttonglow].alpha, get(strength), 0.07);
,
tween(layer[skin_buttonglow].alpha, 0.0, 0.1, default, set(layer[skin_buttonglow].parent, null); set(layer[skin_buttonglow].visible, false); );
);

but the i get the same error. so i'm thinking is it possible to have an hotspot like a parent for a layer?

Hotspots and layers are in different "dimensions"! Hotspots are inside panorama while layers are on the screen. So it is impossible to set hotspot as parent for a layer. Instead, create a "glow" hotspot using the same crop as the "buttonglow" image and use this hotspot to "jump" over other hotspots.

Not true, i use hotspots as parents for layers all the time.

His problem is not the hotspot parent, but the layer parent. It is not found.

Okay, I've made a quick test with the standard skin and went the easiest way: joined styles for hotspots:

Source code

 
1

<hotspot name="spot1" style="skin_hotspotstyle|skin_glow" ath="53.498" atv="13.032" linkedscene="scene_25" />


I see the error that "ERROR: no parent "spot1" found". However, I see the glow layer somewhere near the middle of the screen.

Check out the link:

I suppose there must be some further playing with sphere to screen to calculate where the glow layer must appear.

Alexey

layers with hotspot parents look like just two hotspots next two each other. Use ox and oy for positioning.

hotspots with hotspot parents are really strange though. I suggest you try that!
