Hey,

in our implementation and even in your ranch example all avatars except my own one are looking in the same direction when I join a room. This looks really strange.
Is there the possiblity to obtain the right direction of the avatars?

Thanks. trispo

Currently the avatar direction is not saved internally by OpenSpace: we will fix these in the next releases.
Anyway, when an avatar is created, you can pass the direction in the OpenSpace.createMyAvatar method.

Hi Bax,

Is the avatar direction being saved internally by OpenSpace yet? If so, which version?

thanks!

This will be a feature of OpenSpace 2, not yet released.

Any time frame on that release or perhaps a list of anticipated features? We're currently evaluating OpenSpace as part of a new product and would be interested to know more about OS 2.

I would also like to know an approximate release date for OpenSpace 2. Thanks!

In addition, I am unclear how OpenSpace.createMyAvatar can set the direction of all the other avatars in the room. I understand how it affects MY avatar, just not all the rest. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I was able to set all the directions by setting a custom user variable "avatarDirection" on each of the users, and then setting the avatars to face that direction when the AVATAR_CREATED event is handled.

I'm still interested in the 'official' solution to this situation.

thanks!

The "official" solution is quite similar: OpenSpace will handle a user variable (together with the others it already uses) to "save" the direction faced by avatar.
