Okay, so this IS possible in the current version of P2VR.
I would appreciate a little bit of explanation regarding how to implement it, however.
I'm a bit confused by the new skin editor and the documentation for it only scratches the surface of what can be done with it, I think.
What I'm looking for, specifically, is a bit of explanation for how to use these actions:
-a hotspot being set to 'active' or inactive based on a current state.
-an overlay image being visible or invisible.
The basic logic would require an 'on' and 'off' button in a scene. If you can explain how to make this work... then I can probably extend that information far enough to figure out the rest of the variations of it.
IF it's in state OFF and hotspot ON is clicked,
-hotspot ON becomes inactive, hotspot OFF becomes active, overlay 'light' is made visible.
IF in state ON, and hotspot OFF is clicked,
-hotspot OFF becomes active, hotspot ON becomes inactive, overlay 'light' is made invisible.
Yes, this is essentially very simple scripting within the constraints of P2VR's actions system - and that's exactly the point. I'm hoping to construct a bit of rudimentary, easy 'adventure game' puzzle design within P2VR, using the P2VR actions.
If I can make that work, I will use it in my project (
http://www.panoramicworlds.com ) - if it can't be done, though, I will either find another, much less efficient method like the one described in the initial post, or excise the simple puzzles entirely.
