Toggle Autotour with button?

6av16 · November 18, 2020 at 11:47 AM

Hi everyone,

I'm using the new Krpano 1.20.8. It has a nice feature that easily allows you to make an autotour from your virtual tour. However I haven't found a way to toggle that effect with a button. I can only activate it by either writing "true" or "false" in the skin settings of the tour.xml.
Is there a way to easily use a button as a layer that enables the user to switch it on or off during the tour? (I'm a newbie at coding)

There is an option to activate and deactivate the autotour by doing a right-click and selecting it in the drop down menu, basically I want exactly that option as a button in the virtual tour.

Thanks!

David

create a button and install onclick="switch(autorotate.enabled);"

Hi,

switching autorotate.enabled works, but there is also a slightly better solution:

Code

onclick="if(autorotate.isrotating, autorotate.stop(), autorotate.start() );"

This way the autorotate/autotour starts instantly when enabling it, otherwise it would wait the waittime before it starts after enabling.

Best regards,
Klaus

When I pause it, it will still start the rotation. I don't know why
onclick="if(autorotate.isrotating, autorotate.stop(), autorotate.start() );"

Hi Klaus,
this seams not to work when a waittime >1 is active.
Do you have a solution?

My Code:

Code

<events onloadcomplete="set(autorotate.enabled,true);autorotate.start();" />
 <autorotate enabled="true" waittime="5" /> 


<layer name="skin_btn_autorotate"  onclick="if(autorotate.isrotating, autorotate.stop(), autorotate.start() );" />

Yes, it is possible to create a button in Krpano that toggles the autotour feature on and off. You can do this by adding a button layer to your virtual tour and attaching an onclick event that toggles the value of the "autorotate.enabled" variable between "true" and "false
