Click&Go

How do you like the possibility to make the usual navigation more comfortable? )
I wrote a little plugin that gives you a bit more freedom to navigate the virtual tour.

I'll tell you the gist:
There are often virtual tours where the hotspots are very small and it is not always convenient to click on them or just tap them with a mouse or finger on the phone. So why not remove the hard link to the hotspot click event?

Now, with the Click&Go plugin, you don't have to worry about whether or not it's convenient to hit the hotspot with your mouse. You can just click in the direction you want to go and the plugin will find the closest hotspot and click on it if it is within the allowed field of view.

P.S. In my opinion, this kind of navigation should be standard for all virtual tours. But that's just me :)

Plug-in connection (example):

<plugin name="uhta3d_clickandgo" url="plugins/uhta3d_clickandgo.js" keep="true"
	angle="40" 
	offset="10" 
	onover="set(alpha, 0.5)"
	onout="set(alpha, 1)"
	onclick="onclick()"
/>

Parameters:

• angle -finding angle of the nearest hotspot from mouse click (default 40)

  Code

  # Krpano XML:
  	uhta3d_clickandgo.angle 		- get value
  	uhta3d_clickandgo.angle = 40 	- set value
  # JavaScript:
  	uhta3d_clickandgo.angle() 		- get value
  	uhta3d_clickandgo.angle(40) 	- set value

• offset - offset force when hotspot is not found (default 10)

  Code

  # Krpano XML:
  	uhta3d_clickandgo.offset 		- get value
  	uhta3d_clickandgo.offset = 10 	- set value
  # JavaScript:
  	uhta3d_clickandgo.offset() 		- get value
  	uhta3d_clickandgo.offset(10) 	- set value

• onover - applies to the new found hotspot

  Code

  onover="set(alpha, 0.5)"

• onout - applies to the past hotspot that lost mouse focus

  Code

  onout="set(alpha, 1)"

• onclick - applies to the current hotspot

  Code

  onclick="onclick()"

p.s. callwith() does not need to be used, it is already written inside the plugin. Works with the hotspot.onclick attribute by executing its code.

And as usual:
Have fun testing and waiting for feedback to fix bugs and errors in the work. And maybe some interesting suggestions for modernisation)

wowww. Works¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Awesome!!!
I was thinking about such an application when hotspots are not visible. But still I would probably add a minimal index of possible ones) To have an understanding of where you can and can't go)
At least round hotspots on the floor.
I think I might add an animation to show that there is no way to go in that direction).

Updated the plugin:
- added offset and angle parameters
- added an offset when I couldn't find htospot

Updated the plugin (updated 05.05.2024 rev.1117):
- fixes work on older versions of krpano
- added a version attribute

nice lr :)

i use smth similar here: https://refraction.ch/best

the detection goes by 3d coordinates over all scenes hotspots

and i use an algorithm evaluating angle and distance as i remember

also the map is click anywhere

Well, with models yes, of course)
I wanted to transfer to the flat tours also partially transfer the convenience of control)

tx a lot for sharing this !

You're welcome. The main thing is to get feedback or ideas/suggestions if something can be improved)

Quote from indexofrefraction

in a way it would be nice if the tooltips would show already in the given angle,

Theoretically this is possible. And a tooltip will be displayed on the mouse cursor, when the cursor is at the distance specified in the "angle" parameter.

its not so easy as it is not hovering.. but there is an interval already i guess... it could be nice, because it also gives a feedback when it has "snapped on" a hotspot (desktop only ofc)

I think we'll do it and test it)

ready) in the archive there is a version of uhta3d_clickango_beta.js, in which I added the onover/onout event call.

An example of how to use plugin events:

<events name="cag_ev" keep="true" 
 uhta3d_callandgo_onover="trace(get(uhta3d_clickandgo.overhs)); jscall(console.log(uhta3d_clickandgo.overhs));" 
 uhta3d_callandgo_onout="trace('onout'); jscall(console.log('onout')));" 
/>

plugin parameter uhta3d_clickandgo.overhs contains the name of the nearest hotspot found.
Events are triggered when the mouse is moved around the screen.

Now it is left for you to test and give feedback. And based on the results it will be clear whether this functionality will be included in the main version or whether it will be necessary to finalize the functionality )

I think we need to make a filter for hotspots so that the click is performed only on hotspots with a transition.

Now this is the case, but hotspots that have the linked scenes attribute are taken into account

Hello, it works!

and please specify which version you're talking about: main or beta?
