Spidervision: how to set which viewport gets the console?

[Amerio.Stephane]

Hello,

I have this sv files for a setup with two screens attached, and I couldn't find any way to force the view_0 on display 0 to always be the one with the console. There is nothing like a  "main_display" attribute in the sv. Switching view_0 with view_1 inside the file has no effect. And the button "Set as Main Window" in the spidervision window doesn't seem to save its effect.sensor2.sv

Hi Stephane,

Looks like there is currently no option to make the window as "main". It's either the window where SpiderVision configurator is being opened or just a random window from SV.

As a workaround try to set the main window via code to the desired SV window on start-up.

Something like that should in theory do the trick:

#include "AppSystemLogic.h"
#include <UnigineComponentSystem.h>
#include <plugins/Unigine/SpiderVision/UnigineSpiderVision.h>

using namespace Unigine;

<...>

int AppSystemLogic::init()
{
    auto sv = Unigine::Plugins::SpiderVision::Manager::get();
    if (!sv)
        return 1;

    int target_id = sv->findViewportID("m1");
    if (target_id < 0)
    {
        Unigine::Log::warning("SpiderVision: viewport \"m1\" not found\n");
        return 1;
    }

    auto config = sv->getConfig();
    for (unsigned int i = 0; i < config->getNumViewports(); i++)
    {
        auto viewport = config->getViewportByIndex(i);
        auto window = sv->getEngineWindow(viewport->getID());
        if (!window)
            continue;

        bool is_target = (viewport->getID() == target_id);
        window->setMain(is_target);
        window->setHoldEngine(is_target);
        window->setConsoleUsage(is_target);
    }

    return 1;
}

Thanks!

That will do for now, but a saved option in the sv file would be great. Thanks!
