fieldOfView | SPi-V devWildcard processing of action targets
Submitted by Hotsen on June 29, 2006 - 15:55.
Hi Aldo,
while working on a new spi-v based project with lots(!) of hotspots we recently found out that having a wild-card processing style for action targets would be very comfortable.
It could be something like this:
<action ... target="hotspot-*" property="visible" value="false" />
<action ... target="hotspot-white-*" property="visible" value="false" />
<action ... target="hotspot-white-01" property="visible" value="false" />The first action hides all hotspots, the second action hides only the white hotspots and the last action hides only the white hotspot 01.
What do you thing?
Regards, Alex
I like
simple yet powerful.
you're not going to get regular expressions any time soon though (anticipating your next question)
Update: simple wildcarding implemented in 1.3.8, which is currently in the works.
Cool
but how to use it? Can you post a small example, please?
What should the target looks like, when someone wants to hide all uielements, starting with "hotspot"?
<action .... target="hotspot-yellow-01" property="visible" value="false" />If I put target="hotspot" it says it doesn´t find "hotspot", if I put target="hotspot*" it says it cannot find "hotspot*" and so on.

Hmm...
I seem to have overwritten those changes, sorry. I'll try to roll a new version soon.
reimplemented in 1.3.9
