Properties in update? about awe.js HOT 7 CLOSED

All of the standard values you can set during the add() should work. e.g.

• position
• rotation
• scale

For projections this should then also include

• geometry
• material
  etc. too

If you find any that are unsupported or have any issues please let us know and we'll look into them.

Also not that there's some syntactic sugar that lets you also call update off an object instead of having to call it from the class level.

e.g.

var poi = awe.pois.view("my_poi_id");
...
poi.update({ position:{ x:0, y:0, z:-500 } });

This just makes the code more readable but under the hood it's exactly the same call.

Hope that helps.

Hello,
Rob from awe.js was kind enough to respond. The text from his email is below (thanks again Rob!!). In my early tests play_video_texture is working for me with a 3 second test video. Good luck!

You can do this in a number of ways.
awe.projections.view(YOUR_ID_HERE).play_video_texture();
Or alternatively.
awe.projections.view(YOUR_ID_HERE).texture.play();
However the first option will check that it's a video texture first before it calls play().

NOTE: You need to put this call inside a user gesture event on mobile devices (e.g. Chrome and Safari) otherwise it fails silently.

Here's how you can do this inside and object click handler using the js/plugins/awe-standard-object_clicked_or_focused.js plugin included in our repos.
window.addEventListener('object_clicked', function(e) {
var my_projection = awe.projections.view(e.detail.projection_id);
my_projection.play_video_texture();
}, false);
Or you can just use a standard onclick event on an html element or similar.

Above solution is not work for me. i want to use my projection id outside object click handler.
because i have to show animated butterfly by default.
thanks for your reply.

As I understand it (through advice above from Rob, and other forums) the browser itself on a mobile device will not autoplay media. Media needs to be started as the result of a user interaction. On click is the most popular (and the only one I have tried), but the "user gesture event" referenced above suggests it might include the other events. End of story: media cannot autoplay on a device. Could you make your butterfly a 3d model instead of a video? I'm pretty sure that could be animated through awe.js.
