    Hey guys and gals!

    The situation is as follows: I play a camera-animation that starts a while after loading the App so that the users get the idea that they can navigate the scene. It’s just a short back-and-forth rotation movement around the target.

    See the puzzle-screenshot attached.

    Ok, this works once in the beginning and that’s fine but a big number of problems arise – so here are my questions. :scratch:

    #1 If the animation plays back the user can’t navigate properly or override it. Can I make it so the users input stops the cam-animation?

    #2 Is there a way to know if the user has made any input yet and only then the animation plays?

    #3 If the user has navigated the scene prior to the animation the camer “jumps” to the animation-origins. Same as with #2 – is there a way to NOT play the ani if the user has already made any input?

    #4 The loop “once” does not work. I have to add a puzzle to stop the animation manually. What could be the cause?

    #5 The App allows to load other scenes. On return (reloading) of the initial scene the camera-animation suddenly plays in a loop. Is there a connection to problem #4?

    Any help greatly appreciated. :good:

    Kind Regards
    Gerulf

    First: Thanks for the help and quick response! It got me much further to a solution! :good:

    #4,#5 are solved via the Settings in Blender. #1 as well: Once the User navigates while the animation is playing there is a small interruption but it’s totally fine to me. :yahoo:

    #2 and #3 need some work. I try to check for any input by the user and tried “when clicked <-> all objects” to globally stop the camera-animation. I used it this way because my HTML overlay is not generally clickable so the user can navigate within the iFrame.

    Any idea where my logic fails? :unsure:

    if (!noInput) will be executed only once after the app loading…

    I see it this way

    or this way

    or this way (preferable)
