I'm creating a Google Earth tour and I'd really like to be able to make this interactive so users can choose where they go.
I was thinking I could create each "scene" as a separate tour each ending with a decision (most likely through a placemark with a balloon containing a question and links for each possible answer).
However I'm having difficulties finding a way to load the next tour like this. Each tour will be available in a KMZ format and I'm open to if the new tour should be loaded from within the existing tour or from an external eventListener in the Google Earth API.
Any help or pointers would be gratefully received.

I presume you have already worked out how to play a tour using the plugin.If not, check this link
then you need to open a balloon at the end of each tour, which is two steps. Determine when the tour is ended, and then open a balloon which has a button or buttons to choose next tour.
To determine if the tour has ended use this function
function checkTour() {
// checks to see if it can read the time of the tour
// if it can it completes rest of function
try {
var duration = ge.getTourPlayer().getDuration();
var cTime = ge.getTourPlayer().getCurrentTime();
} catch (e) {
alert('error');
return false;
}
if (duration == cTime) {
// tour is over
tourOverSoOpenBalloonFunction();
} else {
// wait 1 second and check again
setTimeout('checkTour()',1000);
}
}
then use this example page of creating a balloon with a button in it that executes some javascript to load the next tour
essentially you would be changing this line
balloon.setContentString(
'Alert!');
to
balloon.setContentString(
'Tour 1<br/>Tour 2');
I might have missed something, but this should get you going in the right direction

I have monster named Fungant in my 2D platform game.
It can hide as mushroom and rise to his normal form.
I try to handle it in code, but I don't know how to get information about finished animation (without it, animation of rising and hiding always was skipped).
I think the point there is to get info about complete of the one of two animations - Rise and Hide.
There is current code:
if (
fungantAnimator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).IsName("Fungant Rise")
)
{
fungantAnimator.SetBool("isRising", false);
isRisen = true;
fungantRigidbody.velocity = new Vector2(
walkSpeed * Mathf.Sign(
player.transform.position.x - transform.position.x),
fungantRigidbody.velocity.y
);
}
if (fungantAnimator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).IsName("Fungant Hide"))
{
fungantAnimator.SetBool("isHiding", false);
isRisen = false;
}
I try this two ways:
StateMachineBehaviour
I would like to get StateMachineBehaviour, but how to get it?
No idea how to process this further.
AnimationEvents
Tried to do with animation event but every tutorial have list of functions to choose (looks easy), but in my Unity I can write Function, Float, Int, String or select object (what I should do?).
I decided to write test() function with Debug only inside, and create AnimationEvents with written "test()" in function field, but nothing happens.
Same as above, no more ideas how to process this further.
I personally would use animation events for this. Just add an event to the animation and then the event plays a function after the animation transition is finished.
For more information on how to use animation events you can click here.
This post may also help you to add an event when the animation is finished.
I hope this answer helps you to solve this problem.
I am using the A* graph package that I found here.
https://arongranberg.com/astar/download
it all works well in scene view and I was able to set the graph to treat walls like obstacles.
However once I start the game the canvas scales and the graph's nodes no longer align with the walls.
this is really messing up my path finding. If anyone has any ideas how to fix this that would be much appreciated. I tried parenting the graph to the canvas but it still doesn't scale.
Kind regards
For anyone struggling with this what we did is edited the script of the A* code, in the update function we just got it to rescan once. This means that once the game started and all the scaling had taken place the graph re adjusted its bounds. This is probably not the most proper way but it only took four lines and worked for us.
private bool scanAgain = true;
private void Update () {
// This class uses the [ExecuteInEditMode] attribute
// So Update is called even when not playing
// Don't do anything when not in play mode
if (!Application.isPlaying) return;
navmeshUpdates.Update();
// Execute blocking actions such as graph updates
// when not scanning
if (!isScanning) {
PerformBlockingActions();
}
// Calculates paths when not using multithreading
pathProcessor.TickNonMultithreaded();
// Return calculated paths
pathReturnQueue.ReturnPaths(true);
if (scanAgain)
{
Scan();
scanAgain = false;
}
I offer a service which needs the correct location and heading of the mobile device the user is accessing my service with. It was relatively easy to get the information but now I am stuck at finding out how accurate the heading I received is.
Since I'm not using any framework for this or develop in Android/iOS, where there are solutions for that problem, I'd need a solution only depending on javascript (+ 3rd party libraries).
I've found the Generic Sensor API from W3C but couldn't find any sensor which hold that information. Neither the Accelerometer-, nor the AbsoluteOrientationSensor held the needed information.
My current code looks like that..
let accelerometer = null;
try {
accelerometer = new Accelerometer({ frequency: 60 });
accelerometer.addEventListener('error', event => {
// Handle runtime errors.
if (event.error.name === 'NotAllowedError') {
console.log('Permission to access sensor was denied.');
} else if (event.error.name === 'NotReadableError') {
console.log('Cannot connect to the sensor.');
}
});
accelerometer.addEventListener('reading', (event) => {
console.log(accelerometer);
console.log(event);
});
accelerometer.start();
.. but since the problem if more of a 'finding the right tool to do the job'-type, it won't help much in better depicting my problems. Further, Google uses kind of the same functionality I'm aiming for in Google Maps, so theoretically there must be a way to get the heading accuracy.
So, in conclusion, is there any way to retrieve the heading accuracy in a simple javascript environment?
Thanks!
using code.org i need to be able to have a user click on a button that takes them to another screen without using OnEvent(s) constantly, can anyone help me out? Newb here. Thank you for your time.
You can create a function with a value for button and string and put a callback inside
function event(button,input_type, screen) {
onEvent(button, input_type, function() {
setScreen(screen);
});
}
in the silverstripe backend I´m managing certain PageTypes via a ModelAdmin. That works fine so far, the only thing i can´t figure out is how to make a Page being "Published" when saving it.
Thats my code:
class ProjectPage extends Page {
public function onAfterWrite() {
$this->doPublish();
parent::onAfterWrite();
}
}
At the moment I can still see the ModelAdmin-created Pages in the Sitetree and I can see they are in Draft Mode. If I use the code above I get this error:
Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in
.../framework/model/DataList.php
Many thx,
Florian
the reason why you get "Maximum execution time exceeded" is because $this->doPublish(); calls $this->write(); which then calls $this->onAfterWrite();. And there you have your endless loop.
So doing this in onAfterWrite() or write() doesn't really work
you should just display the save & publish button instead of the save button
But I guess its easier said than done.
Well adding a button is actually just a few lines, but we also need a provide the functions that do what the button says it does.
This sounds like the perfect call for creating a new Module that allows proper handling of Pages in model admin. I have done this in SS2.4, and I have a pretty good idea of how to do it in SS3, but no time this week, poke me on the silverstripe irc channel on the weekend, maybe I have time on the weekend.
I found the same need/lack and I built a workaround that seems to work for me, maybe it can be useful.
public function onAfterWrite()
{
if(!$this->isPublished() || $this->getIsModifiedOnStage())
{
$this->publish('Stage', 'Live');
Controller::curr()->redirectBack();
}
parent::onAfterWrite();
}
Create a class that extends ModelAdmin and define an updateEditForm function to add a publish button to the actions in the GridFieldDetailForm component of the GridField.
public function updateEditForm($form) {
if ( ! singleton($this->owner->modelClass)->hasExtension('Versioned') ) return;
$gridField = $form->Fields()->fieldByName($this->owner->modelClass);
$gridField->getConfig()->getComponentByType('GridFieldDetailForm')->setItemEditFormCallback(function ($form) {
$form->Actions()->push(FormAction::create('doPublish', 'Save & Publish'));
});
}
Then create a class that extends GridFieldDetailForm_ItemRequest to provide an action handler for your publish button.
public function doPublish($data, $form) {
$return = $this->owner->doSave($data, $form);
$this->owner->record->publish('Stage', 'Live');
return $return;
}
Make sure the extensions are applied and you're done.
Or, you could just grab all the code you need from GitHub.
